 | Hi, Kay, and welcome. Please do take advantage of the swap feature in the application – just click on the food you want to exchange, and a list of alternatives will pop up for your selection. |
 | Simeoli, before you get that refund check under Q&A, there’s a list of where to by I’m british and live in Italy, a lot of the food stuff isn’t here but fresh food & healthy food is available all over the world, of course if you don’t fancy giving it a try that’s your choice, but I’m a great believer in don’t knock it till you try it, post some posts there loads of folks who like to help get around this site and I have seen loads of British people on here, good luck whatever you try |
 | Hi all! I just joined this morning and was wondering if I could substitute protein from one lunch or dinner to the next. Due to allergies, I don’t eat fish or seafood, and just don’t like eggs…is it ok to substitute? |
 | Looking for an answer from Ossie on this one. Salt/Sodium seems to be the bane for all diets…..restricted or not. What about it, Ossie? I try to diminish my salt intake in everything. But, look at any commercially prepared food and the sodium content is almost always the highest percentage of the dietary breakdown. Sugar and alcohol seems to be my Cardiologists biggest point of admonishment. I can go without added sugar, but I sure like my Vodka a couple of times a week. |
 | How about salt? It is a spice but should be use it at all or pinches at a time? |
| | juettaylor…….I’m sure Ossie will respond with some definitive steps you might consider. I just want to encourage you to stick with it. Have you purchased some of the basics for what the recopies call for and/or have you prepared some of the food according to the guidelines given? Although they contain ingredients that might be foreign to you they are based on scientific body metabolism. THEY WILL WORK!!!! It takes time though, so don’t give up. There should be no reason why your husband cannot enjoy the same foods as you. Some of the recipes are fantastic although they may contain ingredients that you have not heard of……and some are hard to find. Anyway…..don’t give up. One last thing…….Do as I say, not as I do….LOL |
| | And, Musicteacherjw, if you can’t find what you want at a store, you can make it yourself by putting nuts or seeds in a food chopper or food processor, and grinding for about 12 minutes or so, until you get the consistency you want (you can also adjust it by adding oil). |
| | Helloooooooo, sorry it’s been a while but just been living from old menu’s |
 | I want to thank those that turn me on to Trader Joe’s I love that place thank again |
| | Hi, Kingfisher. Actually, the foods are from around the world. They are less well known to most people because they are less mass-produced, which means less manipulated and more nutritious and supportive of healthy weight loss and maintenance. For UK shopping, you can check out the links here https://www.trimdownclub.com/where-to-buy-UK/, as well as http://www.Amazon.co.uk |
 | Help! Tuna is on my menu plan, but it does not sound good just to eat it straight out of a can…need some ideas to make it more enticing without blowing my program! I’m doing ok; it’s been two weeks, but still not on track with the weekly menu plan. |
| | Hi, Nancy. No, but you can definitely use a certain day’s menu for several days in a row. |
| | Hi, Moonshine29. Everything is on the website. Information is available through “My Downloads” (very top of this page, second from the right), as well as “Articles” and “Recent Studies” just under the very top orange bar. You will also find the “Recipes” link in that row. You can also get information through these forums, of course. |
| | Hi Carolennie and Catlife40, sorry to hear your struggling with the menu planned. And with questions and answers. Ossie is great she will answer all your nutrition questions but to see the answers you would need to subscribe to the topic you post the question in. For example Newbies2013, has the reply section then a tag box and under that there a tick box at subscribe to topic. You will then get every post on that topic. The menu planner is very time consuming but only the first time. I would suggest ticking the item you know and add other when you get to know them. Save and create a menu. You can then either regenerate a new menu every week or just look at your old one under the menu history app. I love this plan and have truely got my moneys worth, so please stick with it, it is so worth it in the end. I hope you find it easier to get round the site, if not post a question (and remember subscribe to the topic, so you get your answer emailed to you,) good luck. |
 | I agree with YvonneD. I posted a question(s)and kept watching for an answer. After 1 week of watching, I gave up til now, and now I cant find it. In fact its only by looking for over an hour I happened onto this page. I admit, I am not the most computer savvy person around, but this site seems to be all over the place. I would think you would at least offer a phone number to customer service instead of an email. Most people in these situations dodnt want to wait over a week for a reply. I understood your intro to mean I would have ACCESS to a nutritionist, and that this would be planned to my special needs. You have to be aware of the extremely limited kinds of foods kidney disease patients must follow. On the quick start menu on the 1st day alone there were at least 10 items I\’m not to have! When I chose read more on YvonneD\’s it took me to a completely different site? It\’s been 3 weeks since I joined and so far have not received one darn thing for my money. However, I did see where I can speak to a nutritionist for yet more money per hr, or was it per minute? NOT A VERY HAPPY MEMBER. CAROLEANNIE |
