All of the foods that are listed in the Skinny Up! protocol have been specifically chosen to give you great nutrition while keeping it really simple so that your body can use the bulk of its energy to process and consume the stored nutrition from your visceral fat cells.Depending on a person’s individual body, you might be fine including broccoli or green peppers as a vegetable choice, but not every person is able to consume some of those substitutes. So, in an effort to make sure that each person is losing the most weight possible, we highly recommend sticking with the food choices that are listed in the Skinny Up! protocol guide. Remember, it is just for a short time and you’re not only losing weight very quickly, you are detoxifying and cleaning out your body on a cellular level. This is such a healthy thing! Do the hard work and get healthy. You will not regret it.Some of the most common substitutions that we get asked about are:Broccoli - higher amount of natural carbs with lower water content Green beans - relatively low water contentPeas - higher amount of starchSalmon - higher amounts of oil, slowing down weight loss
