 dsengstacken 7 years ago | hello i just signed up for this diet plan and i am a bit confused. I will just start by saying i am not used to dieting and i love to eat but turning fifty has caught up with me. Everything i eat has ketchup and gravy is this ok? What is the difference in eating 3 oz of meat compared to five or six? Is there really a big difference? I have to be honest i hate being hungry and supper is my biggest meal of the day |
| gottadiet 7 years ago | hi. so far really good. was wondering about chicken soup, vegetable soup etc.. made with fresh veg & no creamer or sugars. can I eat those & when ? |
 Ossie-Sharon 7 years ago | Hi, eastlover. You can choose whatever non-starchy vegetables you wish whenever the menu calls for “Vegetables of Your Choice.” A list of those relatively low in vitamin K is below:
Tomatoes
Peppers
Carrots
Cauliflower
Cucumbers
Iceberg lettuce
Cooked onions
Summer squash (e.g., zucchini/courgette) |
| Ossie-Sharon 7 years ago | Hi, MSCarpen. Yes. You can compare the exchanges at the end of the recipe with those allotted to you – the latter are visible when you click on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your menu. If the recipe you like does not have exchanges assigned, please let me know here, and I will calculate them for you. |
 MSCarpen 7 years ago | I’m sorry if this has been answered before, but there is no search option to find out. I’m looking at the first week of menus and I see “pizza” as a dinner choice. I looked in the recipes section and there are several there for pizza. Do I just pick the one I like, or is there a special “beginner’s” pizza I should be using? Thanks for any help. |
 eastlover 7 years ago | what if you are on warfarin and a lot of green vegetables I can not eat much what do you suggest |
| Ossie-Sharon 7 years ago | Hi, Milena. The timing of meals is rather important for the most part, but much of that reason is because of what you described (getting too hungry later in the day). Your solution sounds great. |
 cayada1224 7 years ago | Never mind, I found the shopping list. Right in front of me!! |
| cayada1224 7 years ago | Where do I find the shopping list> |
 milena.izmirlieva 7 years ago | Hi,
I’m new to the group and was wondering if the timing of meals is important. For example, if I’m not hungry in the morning it is OK to move the 1st snack to the afternoon and have two snacks between lunch and dinner? I find I have a very long time between lunch and dinner (so by dinner time I’m starving) and a very short time between breakfast and lunch and I can’t move lunch to later in the day due to work schedule. Assuming I eat exactly the same things for the first snack as in my personalized menu but instead have them as an afternoon snack (in addition to my second snack) would that work? |
 1drwoman 7 years ago | I am on day 2 and have some questions about the menu items. I know you have heard them all before, so I apologize. I am not sure what some of the foods are, I can make some educated guess but I would rather just ask and get it right3 Crackers, Graham does that mean a regular Graham cracker? Yogurt, is it meant to be plain yogurt. What is an omega 3 egg? (That doesn’t sound natural) Their maybe more answers on the site so I will keep looking. I just want to meal prep and use the shopping list. Which is by the way so super cool…It made shopping so easy and I was able to stay focus on the items instead of junk food that calls my name. 🙂 last question for today, is there a certain amount of time between meals I should be following. |
| Ossie-Sharon 7 years ago | Hi, Masimon, and welcome! Coffee is absolutely fine on this plan, though we do recommend to not go over 4 cups per day. Regarding Carnation creamer, we prefer more natural options such as cream, half-and-half, milk, or non-dairy “milks.”
The best breads are 100% whole grain, and preferably sprouted (such as “Ezekiel”). |
