| Ossie11 8 years ago | Hi ossie-Sharon
Thanks for suggestions,
My name is Osborn , no connection either , but massive fan of him & Sabbath ! |
 Ossie-Sharon 8 years ago | Hi, Ossie11. No connection to Ozzy Osbourne here other than being a fan. Your name?
Regarding your question, antipasti vegetables are great with yogurt. Just put some herbs and spices in the plain yogurt, and dip carrot and celery sticks, cherry tomatoes, broccoli and cauliflower florets, mini-cucumbers, etc. |
| Ossie11 8 years ago | Hi ossie-Sharon
In my plan midday snack often says yoghurt & 1veg of your choice , what veg would you eat with yogurt ?
Accuse me for asking your profile name is ossie-Sharon , anything to do with the great Ozzy Osbourne ? |
 dlowe75 8 years ago | I’ve been on the plan now for just over a week and have been sticking to the menu. My husband has been doing it with me, obviously the menu is planned for my weight and height so I just give him larger amounts. He seems to be loosing the weight as was I initially but I’ve noticed mine has now gone back up by 3 lbs. I’ve also exercised 3 times in one week which he hasn’t but I am hormonal too. Would this effect my weight? As I feel like I’m fighting a loosing battle and feel like giving up. I know it’s early days! Please help as I need the motivation to continue. Thank you |
 Jodieeee 8 years ago | I joined up today! I have struggled with my weight following a RTA back in 2010 leaving me with a life long illness. I went from being an active gum member, dancer, walking, hiking, horse riding, loving life kind of a woman to nothing overnight, literally. Obviously the pounds went on.
I was hoping that TDC would be able to help, however, after looking at my menu planner, it’s mainly vegan cheese, lentils, nuts and vegetables! so boring. Yes I know being vegan with other restrictions, i.e. no peppers, no tomatoes, no hot spices, no white potato, is a challenge, but just lentils, veg, nuts and cheese, really? I did try to swap some of the items, however it is only like for like.
Have I done the right thing? I was assured by Justin that there would be plenty for me. I’m not seeing this so far. any ideas? |
| Ossie-Sharon 8 years ago | Hi, Ossie. Yogurt is the best option, especially if you get the plain type and add your own fruit and natural sweetener. Homemade pudding is also an option (with a side of fruit), as well as cottage cheese with banana. |
| Ossie11 8 years ago | Hi I’m New too plan, so far I’m losing wait! So pleased
Having problems with the last snack , my menu says frozen yoghurt or ice cream , don’t want either!

Been subing it with Greek or natural yoghurt
Any thing else I can sub with |
| Ossie-Sharon 8 years ago | Hi Tasia, and welcome 🙂 The intention is for you to eat all the items in your menu. |
 TasiaWeimer123 8 years ago | Hi,
I’m new to this and I just did my meal plan…and I’m a little confused….for meals and snacks they list several items of food, am I suppose to choose one or two of those foods to eat…or am I suppose to eat them all? |
 meemsdeherrera 8 years ago | Hello Everyone,
I am new to this program and really hope it is what I have been missing. I have been on a yo yo course for the last 10 years . I was a gym rat for several years, didn’t work just worked on keeping my body in shape. I had some health issues, had to stop, ended up with a full hysterectomy and proceeded to wallow in my self pity and gained 75 pounds. Too embarrased to go back to the gym (obviously) so I joined Curves. Ended up getting a job there after losing about 60 pounds and loved being around like minded women. Eventually, I needed a bit more so I joined a bigger gym, started getting my feet wet with running and lost another 25 pounds. I ran several races over 2 years and then became injured. I haven’t been able to run for about 2 years and have succeeded in gaining a lot of belly fat (and lots of other weight too) I have not stopped going to the gym and have included yoga in my routine. My biggest problem without a doubt is eating!!! I don’t eat much during the day, toast and coffee for breakfast, sandwich and veggies for lunch and then HOLY CRAP… I am a crazy person all night long!! I need support in a BAD way. I love my hubby to pieces but he is not a great supporter of my weight loss/healthy life style journey. He is not my excuse, I know I am ultimately in control but he knows my favorite treats and indulges me always. I know I gave probably WAY TOO much info but I’m hoping I can find several people who share my struggle and I hope that I can become a more healthy eater. I have my sons graduation in May in Annapolis and would love to look healthy and thinner when I go.

| Ossie-Sharon 8 years ago | Hi, Vered. Two ounces of avocado is 1/4 cup (60 ml). Two ounces of cheese pizza (any cheese pizza, but without extras) is about 1/8 of a regular-thickness crust 12-inch pie, or 1/12 of a thick-crust 12-inch pie.
As for the foods to avoid, the video discussed artificial or overprocessed versions of popular foods that should be healthy, but have been manipulated into being particularly harmful to your goals. Rather than giving up on them altogether, we encourage better versions in their original, natural forms. Note that the foods discussed in the video are only examples, and many other popular foods have been similarly affected—so it’s good to read labels, be aware of how a food is made, and choose whole foods as much as possible.
1. Regular “whole wheat” bread—this often also contains refined flours, so it is preferred to select “100% whole” grain products (wheat or other). Even with these products, be sure to read the label and avoid hydrogenated fats or similar ingredients such as mono- and diglycerides.
2. Regular margarine—this is often made from chemically altered fats that create health risks similar to those people are trying to avoid by eating a plant-based product. If you must use a hardened oil, t is better to choose those based on coconut oil, and otherwise to use healthy liquid oils, such as olive, as much as possible.
3. Artificial sweeteners—you can read more about this here: https://www.trimdownclub.com/the-best-way-to-sweeten-your-tea-2.
4. Regular orange juice—If it is in a store, it is likely to have been stripped of what makes it healthy. Even if vitamins etc. have been added back in, it really is not the same. Fresh-squeezed is the way to go.
5. Conventional and overly processed soy—organic is fine, and minimally processed items such as tofu, yogurt, and milk, as well as fermented items such as tempeh and natto are fine. However, most pre-packaged mock meats tend to be a problem. |
| Ossie-Sharon 8 years ago | Hi, dlowe. In our recipes collection, we have an extensive array of sweets that are healthy enough to serve as snacks. I suggest that you get rid of all unhealthy temptations, and portion your own creations into single servings, with the rest out of sight. For extra cravings that go beyond your allotment, try sipping on beverages that are sweetened with something natural and low-carbohydrate, such as Stevia and/or erythritol (widely available in supermarkets and online). |
 VeredS 8 years ago | How much Avocado is 2 ounces? And is 2 ounces of pizza a slice? Can it be any kind of cheese pizza!? |
