May I ask if any amount of fruits/vegetables is allowed? and how often? and is it allowed to eat all the healthy food after 19.00? and is it OK that most of fruits are sweet (I can avoid eating bread, butter, meat, but I can't survive without sugar... most of diets say that sugar is Nr.1 in No-nos list; is sugar contained in fruits somehow different from a "normal" one)?
thanks in advance,

Do a google search on the "Glycemic Index" and you will be shocked to find that white potatoes are one of the foods at the top of the list for spiking your blood sugar and making you fat. You would be better off eating a bowl of candy bars. The simple carbohydrates quickly turn to sugar and send your blood sugars up high. If you are going to eat potatoes, eat them sparingly and with a lot of other vegetables and protein to offset the bad effects.
What is interesting is that red potatoes and yukon gold potatoes have a lower glycemic index. Try these instead. Replace white rice with brown rice. Replace white bread with stone ground whole wheat bread, rye bread, sourdough or pumpernickel.
If you are addicted to sugar or any other type of food, watch this movie clip by Dr. Neal Barnard MD.
