Well, since I'm clearly going to be neglecting my work for the night (which I can't afford to do - oops) I'll bore you, and myself, with the limitations of my diet and you can see how it fits into your own.

First let me say that I do not advise this diet without medical supervision! I meet with a doctor myself every few weeks and have had three blood tests to date. Doctor good/alone bad - say it with me! Moving on swiftly...

I'm on a specific ketosis diet called pronokal which is a low carbohydrate; no sugar (including fruit...and alcohol :'( not easy for a uni student); high protein diet. At the start of this diet you have protein meal replacements and vegetables but I have moved onto the next phase where I now have proper meat/eggs/fish twice a day instead of the replacements. I have replaced the replacements :P Well, at least I can amuse myself.

I am meant to have three hundred grams, at both lunch and dinner, of any of these vegetables, known as 'Group A':
Spinach
Lettuce
Gherkins
Green pepper
Beansprouts
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Courgette
Cucumber
Radishes
Celery
Brussel sprouts? I think...

and I can't remember the rest right now

'Group B' is higher in carbohydrate content so I am only allowed one hundred grams a day:
Tomatoes
Ochre
Green beans
Aubergine/eggplant
Red pepper (raw only)

and again, I can't remember the rest right now. Meh, it'll come to me later.

I like to play around with these amounts slightly as you'll see. Every day I have 1 mandatory tablespoon full of extra virgin olive oil and am also allowed a limited amount of red wine vinegar; dijon mustard; and lemon juice. Unlike other ketosis diets the olive oil is my only fat so no butter will be used in my recipes, or avocado and I love avocado :'(
