 SkinnyLynn0427 6 years ago | Hello! I’m on Day 1 and not sure where to begin. Of course I’ll look at recipes, but should I measure specific parts as well as weigh in? |
 Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago | Hi, Readymom. You will find a link to a food diary log on the home page, as well as through the “Tools” link in the toolbar at the top of each siste page. |
 Readymom 6 years ago | I am looking for a place to put in my food diary of what I ate and cant find it. I gave up first time I started this because I didn’t understand how to navigate the program but I am a caregiver for my husband with P D and really need to be healthy so here I am. Please help me! |
| Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago | Hi, Alphatia. We of course recommend water, still or carbonated, plain or flavored with cut up fruit peels (just steep like tea). We also recommend teas and coffee – just be wise about what you add to it, avoiding artificial creamers and sweeteners. If you like soda, we recommend you make your own rather than relying on readymade products with excessive sugar or artificial sweeteners that can work against your goals here; just dress up plain soda water with natural flavor extracts (yes, “cola” is available!) or citrus peels and a natural no-carb sweetener (such as Stevia, monk fruit, and/or erythritol). Other beverages, such as fresh-squeezed juices and milks, are considered foods. |

| Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago | Hi, JAJAHOPES99. That’s wonderful! We’re happy to help however we can. |
 JAJAHOPES99 6 years ago | I love this site 🙂 I am on day 2 and I already feel better…I like that you can substitute foods because I don’t always have the right foods in the pantry until I go shopping…this gives me freedom…I can’t wait to share my journey with you all and show you my progress….part of it will be with my photos lol |
| Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago | Hi, georgeanna01. Absolutely! Click on the circular arrow icon in the header of the meal you want to change, then add foods/ingredients freely. |
 georgeanna001 6 years ago | I joined up a month ago and was so overwhelmed at setting up my menu I gave up. I had chosen the full menu, but the one where I can change things. I would like to go back to full menu and put in some recipes instead of just ingredients…like oatmeal or a fritata. Just hoping you can share |
| Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago | Hi, Donna (bella). If the skim milk is bluish in color or organic, you can use skim. |
| bellabmx66 6 years ago | I was put on a low fat diet due to my having high triglycerides (very high) and you state to drink whole milk. I like skim milk and my doctor recommends this so what do I do? I really want this plan to work but it seems I am not doing this right. |
