| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Ferrenburg. Wild game does not mess up the plan at all – it is indeed counted as a very lean meat. Just select something lean from the Menu Planner, and swap it out at mealtime. The program will be adding the option of game in a future version. |
 Ferrenburg 12 years ago | Ossie what about someone who just eats wild game such as moose and caribou. they are very lean would they be along the lines of chicken. I usually call it beef but it is really good for you. what about not eating all your food does that mess you up on this plan?

| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Diane. Yes, I am a dietitian with the Trim Down Club. I am happy to help with any questions. |
 DianeHutchings 12 years ago | Ossie, I am noticing that you are answering everyone’s questions. Are you a dietician? |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Fakhirakhan. Combining protein with carbohydrates and/or fats maximizes metabolism. Among fats, using monounsaturated fats (as are high in olive oil) has also been shown to increase metabolism. Among carbohydrates, complex/high-fiber carbohydrates – especially those with good enzyme activity, such as fresh vegetables and sprouted grains and legumes – maximize potential for metabolism. Most of all, eating when most active (not skipping early meals) while tapering off toward the end of the day has the best effect. |
 Fakhirakhan 12 years ago | I have one questioning want to learn the combination of foods that boost up your motabilism |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Fakhirakhan. Homemade bread is usually better than store-bought, but of course, a lot depends on the ingredients – mainly, what sort of flour you use. This program recommends sprouted or 100% whole grain – if that is what you are using, it is fine.
As for the recipes, there are several that are similar to your description, i.e. Fish Curry, Chicken Peanut Pad Thai, Coconut-Stewed Garbanzo and Kale. Most importantly, you can substitute the listed spices in most of the recipes with your own spices – they are very flexible in terms of the combination of flavors.
Spices in general are considered good for the metabolism, as are green leafy vegetables, which you see featured throughout many of the recipes. |
| Fakhirakhan 12 years ago | Your recipes are not for me because I cook food very different way like Indian way with all the spices.send me those kind of receipes if you have and guide me with foods that boost up your metabolism and I eat home maid breadthat has 60 caloriesand10 fat calories should I continue eatin that bread or not |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, esteslucy2. Yes, 100% whole grain is great. |
 esteslucy2 12 years ago | When I said whole wheat bread, I should have said, 100% whole grain wheat bread, where the hulk is still on the grain. Is that okay?. Since finding SWG bread is difficult. |
 fishing 12 years ago | Hi, esteslucy2. If you are reading my comment “if it don’t rot don’t eat it”, what was meant is the food needs to be fresh. Not processed. And your question about 100% wheat bread; we know that 100% wheat bread is better than white processed bread. We know SWG bread is better for you than 100% wheat. Ossie is always saying upgrade. The TDC gives you what is best; upgrade from where you are at to the best. |
| esteslucy2 12 years ago | Home grown corn can rot, so can you eat it. What about 100 % whole wheet bread. |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, JustJanet, if you are a big corn lover, see if you can find “sweet corn” – that is very rarely GMO if at all. |
