apensa 9 years ago	Ossie-Sharon………Question. One of our members has been trying to get back to this group but can’t find it listed. Her handle is CHIA and is still a member (I was able to pull her up and send her a message) but can’t find this group. I did a search for the group and I can’t find it listed either. Not sure what is going on or what we are doing wrong. I have no problem getting notified when someone posts but can’t get here via the “Groups” link at the top of the page. I messaged her the link to this page but don’t know if that will work for her. Anything you can do for her?

lawnorma 9 years ago	Thank you for your quick reply. I have been doing my homework and am finding it a lot easier to navigate 🙂 This site is amazing! So full of good information. One other question…or you can lead me to the answer on the site…How do i delineate between cured and uncured meat? I am ready to do my shopping and am excited to get started !!!
Ossie-Sharon 9 years ago	Hi, lawnorma. I see you have eggs for one of the days. In general, you can get more by swapping other protein foods – for example, cottage cheese or ham.
Ossie-Sharon 9 years ago	Hi, Maxine. Don’t stress too much – the amounts go down as you lose weight, to help prevent a plateau. If it is uncomfortable for you now, then just do what your satiety signals tell you. Try to focus on protein and produce if you can, though.
lawnorma 9 years ago	Hi all…having a hard time navigating site but I will get there. On my menu, there are pancakes for most breakfasts but i only occasionally eat pancakes. How do I get eggs into my breakfast choices?
maxine1964 9 years ago	Wow there is a lot of food on the menu plans! Are you really expected to cook and eat that much? obviously the American diet and recipes are far in excess of the standard British diet… I am amazed that you can lose weight!! Think I will look at parts to get some ideas only.
Ossie-Sharon 9 years ago	Hi, FunChick. Thanks for the background. Interval training is a great match for walking. Can you do it more than once per week? Do you have to leave the house to do it? I’m attaching links to additional exercises (video clips) that you can do at home without taking up a lot of time.

FunChick 9 years ago	Hello Ossie-Sharon Thanks for your reply (below). I tend to be fairly active. Walk every day. I started doing meta fit (interval training) and body pump once a week. Have slipped out of the routine because of holidays. Would appreciate some specific guidance please. Hi, FunChick, and congratulations! The key to tightening and toning is targeted and general exercise. Are you currently physically active? If you would like specific guidance here, please do write back.
Amandagasman 9 years ago	Hi, I have just subscribed and have my menu. I don’t know if I am being particularly thick but I don’t understand some of it. For breakfast it says 2/3 cup polenta. Ok. I know of polenta cornmeal, like flour, and I know made polenta like a block of marzipan. Which am I supposed to use and how do I use it? When I put polenta in the recipes I got ‘no posts for this’ I really want to do this. I am coeliac and cannot even have oats, I have steadily been gaining weight, particularly round the middle. All my dietician says is ‘it shows you are healing and absorbing nutrients’. Fine, but when do you draw the line and say no, I am getting fat. We eat very healthily, my husband is losing weight where I have been trying, but I no longer fit any of my trousers. I am sincerely hoping that your way will help. Once I understand what you want me to do
Ossie-Sharon 9 years ago	Hi, Catanie. “SWG” stands for “sprouted whole grain.” You can read more about it here: https://www.trimdownclub.com/what-is-SWG-bread.
Catanie 9 years ago	Can anyone tell me what SWG means?
Ossie-Sharon 9 years ago	Hi, Sal. I highly recommend that you switch over to the personal version of the Menu Planner application (the right-most option in the apps area here – https://www.trimdownclub.com/menu-planner). There you can select the specific foods to go into your menu. I also encourage you to take advantage of our shopping guide here – https://www.trimdownclub.com/where-to-buy-uk.
Slimline Sal 9 years ago	I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE MENU CHOICES AS THEY ARE NOT FOODS EASILY FOUND IN THE UK SO I FEEL I HAVE BEEN MISLEAD AS THE PERSON GIVING THE LECTURE ON THIS TDC HAD A BRITISH ACCENT – I EAT HEALTHILY ALREADY AND WAS HOPING I WOULD LEARN HOW SOME PROTEINS AND COMPLEX CARBS INTERACT AS I HAVE AREADY GIVEN UP CARBS YEARS AGO. ALSO THE CHOICES OF PREFERRED FOODS ARE VERY LIMITED AND DO NOT INCUDE A LOT OF HEALTHY FRUIT AND VEGETABLES. I DO NOT BUY READY COOKED FOOD AND WISH TO COOK ALL MY FOOD FROM SCRATCH AND DO NOT WANT RECIPES FOR 6 PEOPLE AS IT IS ONY ME THAT WISHES TO DO THIS REGIME.
Ossie-Sharon 9 years ago	Hi, Valdenny. We give you complete freedom to select the vegetables you want, so that you can minimize vitamin K and not worry about interactions with warfarin. Wherever you see “Vegetables of Your Choice” in your menu, it’s 100% up to you. Having written that, note that as long as you are being followed by a healthcare provider who checks your INR etc., you don’t necessarily have to completely give up those vegetables – just be sure to eat a similar amount each day (preferably not a huge amount) so that your medication can be dosed accordingly. If you have additional questions, please do repost here, and I will get back to you.
