Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago	Hi, ktnzmom2000. We actually try to work with you to find a type of physical activity that can work for you, because weight loss without it means more loss of muscle than fat – which is very unhealof thy. There are plenty of things you can do “without” a toe – working your arms, and belly, for example, as well as working your legs without bearing weight on them. Take a look at the videos at the bottom of Weeks 1, 3, 5, and 7 in our “8-Week Program” (link on the home page), as well as the following videos: Deskercise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn8Vpzjoz2I&list=PLcYLl4MTY9oQv–HKsFLgST544prdjBx1&index=3 PiYo Toe Touches https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QD5ZZT7-qA&list=PLWmqdoUmET9ivlQB72ZWE551APDSXARAe&index=2 Lower Body Slim and Toning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6ZWuV2wh4M Abs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6wm2pXpUiY&index=1&list=PLcYLl4MTY9oQv–HKsFLgST544prdjBx1
ktnzmom2000 6 years ago	I am not physically active right now (tore the ligaments in my toe). Is there a place to change my activity level to zero and that would change my meal plan? How is this plan specific to each individual person? Thanks you.
Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago	Hi, ktnzmom2000. For people who are very close to their ideal body weight – as you are – healthy weight loss does indeed tend to be slow. It is great to read that you sugar cravings are decreasing, and this can pay off in general health as well as healthy weight. Are you physically active?
ktnzmom2000 6 years ago	I am going on my third week of this diet/way of eating. I was eating fairly healthy before this although I did have the sweet and carb cravings which I don’t have right now. I have lost about 1 pound in 2 weeks. Very discouraging. I know it is suppose to be slow but still discouraging. Has anyone else had the same experience?
Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago	Hi, marqu72. The best way to tell is by looking at the ingredients list and Nutrition Information. We encourage foods with ingredients that are relatively whole, unprocessed, and low in added sugars, and discourage ingredients that are artificial and/or refined. The product you mentioned would be OK as an occasional treat, but because it contains an artificial sweetener (sucralose) and isolated/refined protein and carbohydrates (whey and polydextrose), using it on a regular basis might work against your goals. If you like bars like that, it would be ideal if you could something similar yourself – we have a few recipes here, to give you an idea: https://www.trimdownclub.com/?s=bars&post_type=recipe.
marqu72 6 years ago	Just started today. There are some things that I actually like that I have no idea if they are acceptable. Example: Atkins Harvest Trail Cherry and Nut bar. It has 8 gr of protein, 150 cal, 9 gr total fat, 16 carbs, 10 grams fiber, and 2 grams sugar. Where can I search to see if this is ok as a snack or part of lunch
Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago	Hi, Bethany. In the “My Guides” section (link at the right end of the toolbar near the top of the page), you can download the main Program Guide and Quick Start Guide, which provide information about menu planning. You may also find lists of food exchanges helpful: https://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists.
bethanyha@hotmail.com 6 years ago	Where can I find an overview of this diet so that I can create my own meal plans?
Ladydi1695 6 years ago	Thx for responding, Ossie. But this is not what I want.I want an easy site that writes meal plans for me. I’ll be unsubscribing.
Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago	Hi, mcc933. Lentil pasta is a combination of carbohydrates and proteins – each ounce uncooked or 1/2 cup cooked = 1 carb + 1 protein exchange. The master list of exchanges is here: https://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists. If you use the personal version of the Menu Planner application (access it by clicking on the “My Food Choices” icon in the toolbar above your current menu), you will see some of our recipes in the “Recipes” subcategory of each major food group. For newer recipes that have not yet been added into the system, you can use them to substitute for the main ingredient in your meal. You can also match up the exchanges visible at the end of each recipe and when you click on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your menu. It doesn’t need to be a perfect match to work.
mcc93 6 years ago	I am trying to manually choose the Blueberry scone for my breakfast today. I made them from the recipe here. It doesnt show up as a choice. Help?
mcc93 6 years ago	Okay, so if I am trying to be mindful of my carb intake, would i consider them a carb, or a protein? Also, can you direct me to the master list w all exchanges that i saw but cant seem to find again?
Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago	Hi, Ladydi1695. The program is intentionally flexible to enable various types of diets. To make your menu keto-compliant, access the subapplication of the Menu Planner by clicking on the circular arrow icon on the right side of each meal header. Once in that area, select foods of your choice to match the food group exchanges listed, but making the following substitutions: 1. Two fats for each carbohydrate exchange 2. Non-starchy vegetables instead of fruits, one exchange for one exchange 3. No sweet exchange 4. In addition, talk to your health care provider about multivitamin/mineral and calcium supplements. You may also find this sample menu helpful: https://www.trimdownclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/14-Day-Keto-Express-Meal-Plans.pdf.
Ossie-Sharon 6 years ago	Hi, mcc93. Lentil pasta would be counted as its legume source – so if it’s “mung bean fettucini,” just select “mung beans” in the Menu Planner food lists. Legumes are in the “Carbohydrates” category, but also count as protein in the automatic calculations.
