## acceptable foods during standard fast #fiber,starch

  • fiber? I think starchy foods are not, but fibrous fruits/veg are fine
  • carb? Frowned upon but I would say foods with hidden carb is fine, like green peas, carrot and sweet fruits.
  • starch? For me, staying away from starch for more than a day is tough, so I wouldn’t force myself to zero-starch. Low-starch is very good already.
  • lean protein is singled out as acceptable by the inventor of the 5-2 diet
  • veg and fruits, low-fat milk, low-fat yogurt — the mainstay
  • fats? no no
