*Occasionally, people will contact us to tell us that this recipe is not according to protocol since Dr. Simeons said, “The whole daily ration of two breadsticks or two fruits may not be eaten at the same time, nor can any item saved from the previous day be added on the following day.” However, he wasn’t stipulating that two types of fruit couldn’t be eaten at the same time, but rather that the two fruit servings for the day couldn’t be eaten at the same time.
This is confusing to dieters since Dr. Simeons did specifically instruct dieters to choose “one type of vegetable only” from his list of 13 allowable vegetables for each meal but this is because the vegetable selection is not limited to a specific serving size.
Again, he didn’t apply this phrase, “one type only” to the protein nor fruit options since their serving sizes are set and, consequently, we understand that the protein and/or fruit can be mixed as long as they are in the exact, limited portions.
