 | Hi, Lexi2020. The menu you get is just a template. To get foods that suit you more, just click on the edit or crossout tool to the right of the item, then select a replacement from the pop-up list. |
 | Hi. I have just started. When signing up I was asked what I liked and what I didn’t and then got a menu full of stuff I dislike. How can I alter that? |
| | Hi, londalulu. Keto recipes appear first in the “all recipes” area because they were added most recently. We actually have many, many non-keto recipes – you can search for something specific, if you wish. |
 | hello I am new here. Is this a fasting diet? I keep seeing Keto. |
| | Hi, Masks44. He needs about one-eighth more than you (12.5% more) – more if he’s more physically active, of course. |
 | 53, 5’10, 180 |
| | Hi, Masks44. The meat, fish, poultry, etc. amounts in the menus are raw, while the grain and legume products are cooked/baked. |
| | Hi newbie here when it says protein in 3 oz beef chicken turkey excetera is that cooked or raw. And how do you figure out cooking for your husband at the same time is there a way to I don’t know double the recipes I guess or triplet it, some days I can’t figure out what to feed him. Lucky when I started this already made a big pot of turkey chili so I kind of cheated for my first three days for my dinner but I only had a cup and a half of chili for dinner and either the vegetable or fruit that was in the menu for that day I guess I’ll have to make him some big pots of food he could lose a few pounds to LOL at least I only have to worry about him for dinner time |
| | Hi, LindaSue1313. You can do any of our routes in that time window, if you wish. If you would like help with adjusting your menu, just let us know. |
 | Now all of this is based on 16 hour fasting and 8 hours eating window, right? |
| | Hi, Squirrel17, and congratulations on your accomplishments! If you’re not hungry, don’t push it. Just be sure to tuck any produce or calcium-rich foods into the next meal. |
 | HI there. I am a new Trimmer. A little over 5 years ago I worked really hard and was able to get to my goal weight. Shortly after, there was some major life stressors that gradually had me adding the weight back on and some. Now I am in the Very Obese category. The true “ah ha” moments in the last 6 months is being put on blood pressure and cholesterol medications. It was a true eye opener. Plus I became engaged in December. So I have a wedding dress to fit into by July 2021. I have been sticking to my meal plan religiously, drinking a gallon of water and doing strengthing exercises daily. I feel so much better about myself already. Much more energy and no desire to drink diet soda. My only question is…I finding at times that when it comes to snack time, I’m not hungry for it. So you have any advise on how to handle that? Also what time would you recommend the evening snack be eaten? I have been doing 7:30 as I eat dinner at 5:30. Trying to do meals/snacks every 2 hours. |
| | Hi, Bunni50. You can try any of these – https://www.womenshealthmag.com/weight-loss/g25671596/keto-meal-delivery/. Also, you can change over to the more flexible regular low-carbohydrate route for the personal version of the Menu Planner, then just tweak it to be keto. You can do this by deselecting “keto” in the “Dietary Needs” section of your profile (lower right area), then generating a new menu. Once you have the template, click on the edit tool at the upper right of each meal, then make your food selections – you will be guided by the meal pattern, which you can make keto through the following substitutions: If you prefer fewer meals per day as in the keto plan, you can add exchanges from the unwanted snacks to your other meals. Note that since the system wants something at every meal, you can just add a random item like “Vegetables of Your Choice.” |
 | Hello, I am on the go quite often and dont have much time to cook. Are there any pre made keto meals that I can purchase |
| | Hi, Srb22. We recommend at least three meals per day, so you can fold the snack into an earlier meal like lunch or dinner. No problem. |
