 | Thanks, Ossie-Sharon, you answered my question about using my own choice of foods for each meal and having it translated into portions to make it work with the program. This has made this whole thing work beautifully for me. I have already lost a few pounds and less than a week on the program. So happy to see wine is included! The little circular icon up in the corner used to edit the meal plan is so helpful. I’m using this now and the more I use it the faster I get. |
 | I am confused about amount of ounces permitted daily for each category. In your reply to me states: |
| | HI Ossie, thanks for explain the wine and chocolate exchanges to me. |
| | Hi, cardc, and welcome. Frozen vegetables are just fine, as are dried beans. Just note that the serving sizes are for cooked beans. |
| | Hi, rmarra and judy. You can see your alloted exchanges by clicking on “Exchange view” in the toolbar above your finished menu. Exchanges are described here – https://www.trimdownclub.com/exchangs-lists. |
 | I just gone yesterday. I am trying to set up my 8 week start up. I have some questions. Can we use frozen vegetables or only fresh? Also with Beans can we us dry beans? |
 | Hi…I would also like to have the answer to the question posted by rmera0408. I am new and hoped this would be straightforward. |
 | WHere do we find this information (Ossie Sharon) about exchanges .. and how the foods line up with these exchanges we are allocated? I really don’t want you all to “tell” me what to eat (as in the menus).. I want to look at teh choices , how they stack up with the exchanges and go from there. |
| | Hi, Brenda. In this program, your daily allotment is about 65 grams each of protein and fat (plus 195 grams of carbohydrates). In terms of fat exchanges, this translates to about 3-4 per day. An 8 oz glass of wine is equal to 1 carb + 2 fat exchanges. Dark chocolate is considered a “sweet,” meaning 1 each carb+fat exchange per ounce (28 grams). |
| | how many fats can we have in the day? |
| | Hi, Gooseknobs. It includes a fat because that’s how the body processes it. |
| | I added a glass of white wine into my menu. |
