Hi folks I am here to offer encouragemnet not knowledge! I started this life changing process Sat Feb 26th and I feel awesome! No one here has mentioned anything about excercise! I have been trying to walk 1/2 hr per day briskly and as I’m walking take note of all the beauty around me.
My biggest advice is to always have fresh vegetables/fruits/nuts in a tupperware resealble container and always be snacking. I have lost 2 pounds but more importantly have changed my mindset to know that this is not a diet but a lifestyle change that I will continue for my whole life!

Hi, PattyPool. Can you post a sample day, along with your stats (height, weight, age)? I will do some calculations.

pattypool 12 years ago

hi thanks for your reply. i just feel that i am choosing lots of foods but its still being repetative it seems strange that i have been eating this diet for 4 weeks with little change where am i goin pattypoolg wrong please help

Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago

Hi, PattyPool. Were your menus EXACTLY the same for 4 days? Did you select more than the minimum number of items in each category in the Menu Planner? Did you select lower fat foods?
I am asking to try to figure out how to ask tech support what the solution might be.

Hi patty pool I was feeling very negative myself with all these meals as well as my live is also very busy not always at home but I must say I have been on this diet for 6 weeks now and I have managed to loose 12lbs all my friends said you will never loose weight eating all that well I have proved them wrong. But somedays I have had to loose one of the meals usually the lunch or the dinner but I do try and eat the 6 so don’t give up yet. Best of luck

hi i have the same problem with the menus being the same 4 days per week its so repetative plus this is my 4th week and i have not yet lost any weight i hope this will change but i feel that the menus are difficult to maintain 6 meals per day as i spend a lot time out each day so its hard to either fit in my lunch and or the snacks so any help will be great

Sue, my suggestion, along with the breadown sandrae gave you, is to not choose any meals in the recipes until you have the time to do so. I would just pick single whole food items and canned items. It’s as quick as opening a can and maybe heating something up. I usually throw most of the whole food/can items together in the pan and it’s a nice warming meal, especially if it’s cold outside like here in New Hampshire, USA. Good luck; KD

Sorry tmeade my I pad changed what I wrote to treadle sorry

Hi treadle
Yes I did know about it but most of the time the alternatives are something that I do not like. That is why I would like to generate my own menus but need ratios of proteins fats & carbs. At the moment I am trying to use the Friday to cover the Tuesday then that will leave me with Wednesday ,Thursday & Friday I am not sure if I can use Saturday and Sunday again as that would work for me then it would not be so repetitive but do not know if that would change the health percentage as the generated menu came to 78% I just wonder if that would lesson if I use my other 2 days.

Hi Sue
My name is Tracey and I am a 45 year old mother of twins here in the US.
I just started in the program this week, so no progress to report at this point. I have noticed that there are 2 arrows that forma sort of circle just to the right of the menu item for each meal. If you click on this little icon a small pop up window appears with replacement food for the item selected. This may help you when the menu app generates the same items over and over.
Please let me know if this is helpful, or if you don’t understand my description.
