Will you eat ezekiel (sprouted wheat) bread, brown rice, beans/legumes on your no white food diet?
Diets like Atkins or Protein Power for me means I can never have a cheat day because it throws me into carb binge mode. My body just stops processing carbohydrates properly and unfortunately that's all I wanted for a long time, the junkier the better. It was a total disaster for my waistline after I did it about 10 years ago. It kind of was a problem too because I'm hardly a meat lover. Trial and error have shown me that I do better on moderate to low carb - say 75 to 150 good carb gms a day. I have to be careful because of PCOS. I regularly include the foods I've mentioned above in my diet and I do much better with controlling my weight as well as blood sugar and insulin levels.
Yeah you can eat SOME carbs, in fact your body needs them. I just try to eat them for breakfast and make sure they are low GI, eg, brown rice, oatmeal, beans/legumes, etc. I also eat fruit which is banned on the full Atkins No Carbs diet but a bit of natural fructose is also good for you. But avoid fruit juice and tropical fruits (pineapple, mango, banana) which are much higher in fructose than, say, apples or apricots. I also eat nuts, again banned by Atkins.
But if your day will be ruined by not eating a banana then have one. This is an eating system you have to be able to live with long term and the occasional 'treat' won't do any harm.
