I found the answer to my own question for those interested read on

I found this on another website.  It is information taken from his Warrior Diet Fat Loss book sold on his website.  The detox phase (phase 1) indicates beans as a protein meal and suggests combining it in a 1/1 ratio with a grain.  That works for me.

Here is the info for those interested:

Prepare whole grain meals and combine them with beans
in a ratio of 1/1 beans/grains. You can enhance the
meal with small amounts (about 1 oz) of goat cheese,
feta cheese, ricotta cheese, kefir, plain yogurt or
poached eggs.


PHASE II (WEEK 2): HIGH FAT (NUTS):

The Morning through Afternoon Snack is the same as above, except fruit should not be eaten until afternoon.

Dinner (Main Meal): Salad (must eat first)
Salad Dressing : Olive oil and vinegar (sparingly)
Steamed veggies (lots of cruciferous veggies such as
broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, zucchini, carrots,
okra, mushroom, spinach, onion)
Small Amounts of Protein (4-6 ozs) It is recommend to
rotate between protein choices (1 choice per day) of
chicken, fish, turkey, eggs, beef. You can also add
small amounts of yogurt or kefir on days of fish or eggs.
Nuts: One handful - Select from raw almonds, pecans,
walnuts, pistachios. If you find you are too full to eat
both the protein and the nuts, it is advisable to
eliminate the protein in order to maximize the benefits of
the nuts.

PHASE III (WEEK 3): CONCLUDING FAT LOSS


The Morning through Afternoon Snack is the same as above.

Dinner (Main Meal): Salad (must eat first)
Salad Dressing : Olive oil and vinegar (sparingly)
Steamed veggies (lots of cruciferous veggies such as
broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, zucchini, carrots,
okra, mushroom, spinach, onion)
Small Amounts of Protein (4-6 ozs) It is recommend to
rotate between protein choices (1 choice per day)
of chicken, fish, turkey, eggs, beef. You can also add
small amounts of yogurt or kefir on days of fish or eggs.
Carbs: Choose one carb item per meal: corn, sweet
potatoes, butternut squash, pumpkin, peas, potatoes,
barley, rice, oats, quinoa, pasta, bread). Make your
choices wisely to avoid unnecessary cravings and
effectively loose fat without over restrictions of carbs.

Phase III is an example of a high carb day. This should be followed by a high protein day in which the salad and steamed vegetables are eaten, then followed with 8 - 16 ozs. of protein OMITTING the Carb selection.

After completion of the first three phases, you can repeat it again. However, this time trying different combinations. For instance, you can try to incorporate 3 days of detox followed by 2 days of high fat (nuts) followed by two days of high carbs, followed by two days of high protein, and so on. You can adjust your cycle based on the progress of your weight loss. This means that if you get stuck or reach a plateau, go back to detox for a few days and then resume the cycle. If however, one of the phases gives you better results than the others, then increase the frequency (number of days) of this phase in the overall weekly cycle. Eventually you will find your own unique cycle. You can occasionally adjust your cycles to accommodate special activities that include eating. For example, if you are on vacation or have a brunch or luncheon, you can plan to under eat during the evening and have your main meal at breakfast or lunch.
