New diet attempt

Hey guys!

So honestly I've been seriously struggling with my diet. It's pretty restrictive and doesn't allow for much variety or freedom with food. My beautiful and highly intelligent cousin advised me to try out her food program. I read it and I was surprised by how much I'd be allowed to eat so I thought what the heck let's give'r a try :) You'll find the plan below:

Here’s your nutrition program:
You need to eat 4 carbs a day, 4 vegetables, and 5 proteins, 2 fats
Each portion should be approximately the size of your palm, and fats should be one tablespoon…
(not more than 12 grams of sugar per serving in products other than fruits and veggies – anything with a label)
Carbs
Fruit
Corn
Beans
Whole wheat products (not more than 12 grams of sugar per serving in products other than fruits and veggies – anything with a label)
Light yogurt
Cereal – such as Kasha go lean crunch…. be careful of sugar (also no more than 12 grams of sugar per serving)
NO PASTRIES, DONUTS, FRAPPUCCINOS, CAKE, COOKIES ETC.
Potato – any kind, esp sweet potatoes
steel cut oatmeal


Veggies
Carrots
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Asparagus
Lettuce
Bell peppers
Celery
Spinach
kale

Proteins
Egg whites
Chicken breast – 1
Lean beef – 5-6 oz
Canned white albacore tuna – 20-30 g
Turkey sausages – less than 10 g fat, at least 15 g protein
Ground turkey breast patties (for turkey burgers)
Protein bars (watch for sugar!!) less than 12 g sugar, at least 20 g protein, less than 250 calories…

Fats
Peanut butter (1 tablespoon)
Mixed nuts (1/4 cup or less)
Avocado (1/4 of a whole avocado)
Olive oil (1 tablespoon)

When cooking and preparing food, do not use too much butter, mayo, heavy salad dressing. If you need dressing, look for one with 70 cal or less per serving, use light mayo, and cooking spray. Seasoning is always ok. Its sauces and spreads you need to watch out for.

If you follow this program perfectly, then one day a week you can eat any regular food

Good luck everyone!
