 gramsdale 6 years ago | I need to be on a keto friendly diet for my diabetes. How can this work for me. I’m supposed to limit my carbs to 22 per day. |
 Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago | Hi, Daphne. Definitely NOT! Once you have the basic selections made, you can keep using them, or make minor adjustments whenever you want. The items in your cabinet will also gradually match the tone of your new menus, and you’ll just be replacing items when you shop. |
 daphneyeomans 6 years ago | Hi Im new to this (day 1 tomorrow) and it has taken me an hour to organise my menu for next week in order to do my weekly shop tomorrow. Is it always going to take this long |
| Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago | Hi, Rachel. Your cheese blend sounds great – go for it! |
 Rachelstenhouse1979 6 years ago | Hi, I’m new to this and I’ve spent the last few days tgrying to understand it all. I want to make a lasagne, i have butternut squash sheets instead of pasta, lean turkey mince, tomatoes, garlic and herbs. I need a sauce, i usually prepare my own cheese sauce but using white flour, which is a no on this diet. Can i use Quark with some xtra cheese on top such as mozarella, paramsan, mild chedder, goats cheese? |
| Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago | Hi, Sarah, and welcome! You can see that list by first clicking on the “My Food Choices” icon in the toolbar above your menu, then on the “Free” button among the colored food group buttons in the Menu Planner area. |
 sarahjpile 6 years ago | Hi. Just joined and looking for a list of ‘free’ foods that can be enjoyed in any quantity. I have Polycystic ovaries so this diet was recommended. |
| Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago | Hi, mps1944. Dairy is located in the Protein section of the Menu Planner food lists. Do make sure that your profile does not include “Non-Dairy” in the lower right corner. For some guidance in using the site, I recommend you read the “Quick Start Guide,” which you can download from “My Guides” (link at the top right of this page). Don’t worry about jumping in headfirst – just get used to things and make gradual changes. I’m happy to answer any nutrition questions. |
 mps1944otis97 6 years ago | I’m not seeing any dairy, iry, I am I don’t see any dairy and I drink organic skim milk everyday. How can I add this to the diet ?
I am brand new and overwhelmed already
I am 74years young and can relate all my conditions, back and knee pain, shortness of breath, poor stamina, etc. to being grossly overweight. More than anything, I want to be active again. |
| Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago | Hi, Linda. You absolutely can switch between lunch and dinner as you wish. You can eliminate the snacks, but do be sure to get in at least 5 total fruit/vegetable servings and at least 3 calcium-rich food/beverage servings each day. |
 linda203 6 years ago | I am new to this program and having a problem with it. It is way too much for me to eat. I would like to eliminate the snacks. Also the menus don’t seem appropriate to me. I would normally eat you lunch menu for my dinner menu and my dinner menu for my lunch menu. Does that work? |
| Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago | Hi, Linda. You can mix and adjust the vegetabkes as tou wish. |
| Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago | Hi, Linda. It is one to be shared between the two, but if you want to double it, just have a little less of something else on your menu. |
 LindaOz 6 years ago | Hi again. I have another question. When my menu recommends 1 serve of vegetables, can I make up the cup with a variety of vegetables eg: 1/2 cup broccoli, 1/2 cup cauliflower or does it have to be one cup of the same veg? |
| LindaOz 6 years ago | Hi. I am very new – on my first day actually. So..for a snack today i have 2 Ryvitas and 1 serve free spread. On the free spread page it gives an amount per slice of bread etc. Is my one serve of free spread per Ryvita, or is it one serve to be shared between the two? Just wondering… |
