foods
 | Hi, Kathy, and welcome. And congratulations on your great beginning! You can definitely swap out the foods you don’t like – for example, an ounce of fish = an ounce of any fish, meat, poultry, or cheese. The following is a list of exchanges you can use: https://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists. If you find you have to do this for a lot of foods, you may wish to jump to the Menu Planner application (in “Apps” above, to which you would have been introduced in a few weeks) and have your own menus built based on foods you like. |
 | Hi all. I’M STARTING WEEK TWO AND FEEL LIKE I’M HAVING A H ARC TIME WITH SOME OF THE FOODS. FOR EXAMPLE I DO NOT LIKE SARDINES OR LOX. WHAT’S A GOOD SUBSTITUTION FOR THIS? I am feeling overwhelmed with his to make exchanges. I did lose 3.5 pounds my first week. |
| | By the way, Susan. Are you using the Menu Planner application, or the 21-Day Express Meal Plans? |
| | Hi, Susan. I will forward your query to tech support. In the meantime, Nicole has some good advice (thanks!). Congratulations on your weight loss 🙂 |
 | Honestly, after the first 2 weeks (I am on week 3), i strayed from the menu it selected for me, and started looking up recipes that are made from whole foods, unprocessed and minimal to no sugar (Sugar has been my addiction). I have learned to be aware of portion sizes as well as balancing out food groups. For example,some recipes i have been finding that are totally healthy are Lemon Dill Chicken Skewers, baked cumin carrots, Chicken Marsala, Banana Cookies, Sweet Potato Chips, Butternut squash cakes….etc |
 | I understand that but why are they putting things on my menu that I did not pick, they shouldn’t. I have been substituting many things. I have lost 3 pounds in 2 days though. |
| | You can create your own menu, using items you prefer. Also, i prefer almonds over peanuts, so I’m sure another nut would substitute fine in my opinion. I’m also not a fan of goat cheese (don’t know many people who are!) so i substitute it with ricotta, or cottage cheese. I am not a nutritionist, but I’m sure as long as you are replacing an item with something similar or equally healthy, i think it’s ok. |
| | I can not eat peanuts and it is in my meal plan. Hate goat cheese too and is in my meal plan. Can I get a different meal plan because I will never eat some of these foods in my plan. I also work full time in a hospital and can not eat 6 times a day, absolutely impossible with my career I have skipped one snack to try to make this possible. My second week is absolutely not going to work for me. Don’t know where you get that I picked peanuts on my menue items because they actually make me ill. |
