Sorry it took me so long to reply.
Generally, you can eat or drink anything one hour (or 1.5 or 2) before the 8-hour
dosing period and the same afterward.
And for lunch you do 1/2 hour, which is better than nothing.
But ideally not the stuff you are not supposed to eat or drink, during lunch.
The 8-hours gives your body a resting period of 16 hours to get rid of the
toxins and such.
I don't think Jim talks about oils, but I may be wrong.
John McDougall is anti-oils because they are cancer causing and
cancer-promoting. (in part as a "concentrated food")
If you eat the whole olive (or whatever) then it is "okay", although
olives tend to be very high in salt / sodium.
"McVegan" (my term) suggests high-carbs, lots of vegetables, NO oils,
no other concentrated foods, no highly processed foods, low fat,
low salt, low sugar, and, of course no animal flesh or products or byproducts.
Or do the best that you can. Anything is better than nothing. And grow....
I think that is the healthiest way an human animal can eat. (other than Raw)
I call that the McVegan Dietary Lifestyle.
