Yes, You Can Eat Dairy and Legumes on the ASSFACE Diet

Let’s clear this up once and for all.

There’s a common misconception floating around that “healthy diets” mean cutting out entire food groups. But the ASSFACE Diet was designed with real people and real lives in mind. That’s why yes, you absolutely can eat dairy and legumes.

Let’s talk about why these foods are not only allowed, but encouraged when living the ASSFACE lifestyle.

Why Dairy Works on the ASSFACE Diet

Unlike some of the more restrictive diets, the ASSFACE Diet allows dairy—because it’s nutrient-dense, versatile, and satisfying.

• High in protein and calcium: Think Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and hard cheeses.

• Naturally low in sugar: Just be sure to choose options without added sugar.

• Fills you up: Full-fat dairy keeps hunger in check and makes meals feel complete.

Example meals:

• Greek yogurt with fruit and nuts

• Cheese sticks with turkey slices

• Cottage cheese with sliced tomatoes and pepper

Why Legumes Deserve a Place on Your Plate

Beans, lentils, and peas get a bad rap in some health circles, but on the ASSFACE Diet, they’re totally in-bounds.

• High in fiber and protein: Great for digestion and satiety.

• Low glycemic load: They raise blood sugar slowly—unlike refined carbs.

• Budget-friendly: An easy, affordable source of plant-based nutrition.

Example meals:

• Black bean salad bowls

• Chickpea and avocado lettuce wraps

• Lentil soup (low-sodium, canned or homemade)

ASSFACE isn’t about Extreme Restriction

We’re not here to demonize entire food groups. We’re here to eat better, feel better, and create a sustainable way of living. And if that means a slice of cheese or a bowl of chili, go for it. We want long-term success, not perfection.

Bottom line

Dairy and legumes have earned their place on your plate. Just stick to the core rule—no added sugar—and you’re living the ASSFACE lifestyle exactly as it was meant to be lived: smart, balanced, and real.
