 julialisetto 12 years ago | Okay, thank you |
 Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Sorry – I wasn’t clear. I was referring to the Pam. If the pasta is whole grain, it is wonderful. If the sauces also does not have hydrogenated or saturated fats (i.e. palm oil), and even has some olive oil instead of 100% ‘vegetable oil,’ the dish you’re describing is essentially a superfood. |
| julialisetto 12 years ago | I don’t understand your response, what’s okay, the pasta? Upgrade what? |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Julia. That’s fine. If you want to upgrade, we recommend putting a good quality cooking oil in a mister (the glass type is best, just be sure to keep it in a dark cupboard – it really does not add much by way of fat, but there are fewer chemicals. |
| julialisetto 12 years ago | How about pasta, multi grain pasta with home-made bolognese sauce, no sugar added, but lots of veggies and extra lean meat. I would also like to know about frying vegetables in Pam. |
| julialisetto 12 years ago | I’m not talking “instant oatmeal” in the little packs. This is regular oatmeal, it called “quick cooking” because it cooks up in 5 minutes. |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Julia. You can have the milk however you want. Yes, go ahead and use the quick oats (not recommended to through out food), and just make the switch to whole/steel-cut when you run out. |
 CarlaCoon 12 years ago | You are just going to add a snack between your regular meals – basically be sure during your active waking hours that you are eating something (use your menu for what to choose) every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. This will keep your insulin levels steady and help weight loss.
When it says 1 1/2 cup oatmeal, I just make the usual 1/2 cup dry oats to one cup of water, cook it, and call it good enough. It’s plenty for breakfast and when it includes nuts or fruit I chop em up and add it right to the oatmeal. Throw in some cinnamon if you like or other spice. JUST DON’T ADD SUGAR. i |
| julialisetto 12 years ago | Hi Again, so I finally got to start. My first day is 1 1/2 cups of oatmeal made with milk. Question, does this mean to cook the oatmeal in milk, which is what I believe it means, or put the milk on the oatmeal after it is cooked. 2nd question, I happen to have Quaker Oats Quick Cooking Oats in my cupboard, is that okay? |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Julia. Yes, the intention is for you to eat all the food listed. The goal is to prevent hunger and get your metabolism up, as well as meat your nutritional needs. |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, JMachadori. The Menu Planner application puts together snacks for you based on foods you like and nutrition principles that can help gear your metabolism toward weight loss. Basically, they are a carbohydrate and protein source, often with a fruit in the equation. |
| julialisetto 12 years ago | I haven’t started yet, but I notice there is an awful lot of food to eat, even the snacks. Am I really suppose to eat everything suggested in my meal plan every day. Not that I mind 🙂 Just want to be sure I’m still going to loose weight. |
 Tconley 12 years ago | Hi I’m new to this site . Just signed up. I am seeing that many of you are expressing trouble eating 6 small meals a day. Are you using the suggested snacks from the menu app? I have downloaded the menus and suggested meals for a 7 day period. Off to the store to get all the yummy ingredients. Please let me know if you are following this and if it has worked for you? Thanks |
 Jmachadori 12 years ago | What kind of snacks are you suggesting? I really need help all over the place. I have reduced my carbs this week and started to walk. But I don’t think it is enough. |
 Deborahjjhayes 12 years ago | I’ve been on this 7 months… and I still forget because I’m not hungry!!! Isn’t it wonderful? |
