MANY THANX

Is that the vegetable or some alien species?


If it's the vegetable, no, it's not allowed. There is a list of foods allowable for induction in one of the stickie posts above.

If it's some alien species, it would probably depend on the carb and sugar content. :geek

corn is not okay during the induction phase, but you can eat it later on. Mayo Is also okay as long as it has 0 carbs. :nod

For those who've never heard of it (like me!)

What is Quorn ?

Quornâ„¢ is the brand name for a premium line of all-natural, meat-free foods. New to U.S. consumers, Quornâ„¢ foods have been available in Europe for over 17 years. Quornâ„¢ foods deliver uncompromising quality, great taste, wide variety and incredible nutrition -that's why in Europe, they're the number one selling meat-free brand. To date, Quornâ„¢ foods have been enjoyed by 20 million consumers, in nearly one billion servings.

Made from mycoprotein, Quornâ„¢ foods are a healthful, wholesome choice for everyone. Mycoprotein is derived from Fusarium venenatum, from the fungi family, as are truffles, morel and other mushrooms, originally discovered growing in a field in Buckinghamshire in the United Kingdom. In the late 1960s, initial research and development of mycoprotein began, recognizing its potential as an efficient and effective protein source.

Over the past 17 years, consumers around the world have made Quornâ„¢ Foods their number one choice for great-tasting, wholesome meat-free products. The mycoprotein found in Quornâ„¢ foods has been extensively tested to evaluate its safety and use, revealing it is among the safest proteins anyone can eat.

Additionally, the mycoprotein in Quornâ„¢ foods packs a nutritional punch: it is a good source of quality protein and dietary fiber, has zero cholesterol and is low in fat - especially saturated fat.

Quorn is a meat substitute made from the fungus that grows on corn... there have been some safety issues regarding it and most vegetarians don't eat it anymore, though there are some that still firmly believe that it's just another edible fungus, like mushrooms.

Looking at some of the ingredients on the website, they seem to put quite a bit of sugar, starch and MSG into their products. I wouldn't recommend eating them.

As for the mayo, look for a brand without added sugar and be sure to count the carbs in your daily total.

Hope this helps, and good luck! :wave
