Thank you. Could you just clarify how I measure 1 and a half cups of weetabix with milk pls. I have gone and brought the measuring cups and spoons but am unsure how many weetabix to use?

Hi, CGunner. Congratulations on your weight loss so far.
However, 1200 calories is much too little for you, and carries a risk of rebound weight gain (with “interest”). We offer you a little more food, but the amount declines with your weight, so that you can lose weight more slowly but keep it off long-term.
Not×§ also that exercise is a very important asset that can help your metabolism bounce back.

Hi, Kelly. I’m happy to help in any way I can!
1) Bananas are always recommended (they actually aren’t among the 5 foods to avoid). As for the rest, those discussed in the presentation are examples of the most commonly available types of popular foods that have been manipulated into no longer being nutritious. If you like a food, we encourage you to always try to find the best version, which is what we include in our Menu Planner lists – “100%” whole wheat products (that “100%” is a very important distinction), fresh-squeezed orange juice that you make at home, etc.

2) The reason you were not given oil selections instead of tahini is because that food is a combination of protein and fat. If you want to swap it (or any other food) for something else, you can refer to this list here: https://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists. Beyond that, because the rest of your menu has more than enough protein, you can just use whatever spread you want. As for the egg issue, the intention is for you to have two eggs in your omelette, if you wish (many people like that) – if not, you can swap out the extra egg for cheese or another spread for your bread.
It’s all flexible.

Hi I am new to this to and am very confused by it all! I’ve been sticking to 1200 calories a day and have lost a stone and was wondering what a typical days calorie total is pls? Surely if I start eating more I will put on weight?

Bear with me as Im new to this. Questions galore….

1) I listened to the audio about the 5 foods you should NEVER eat. Now I am starting and I find those foods in light blue so they are recommended? Bananas, whole grain bread, orange juice?

2) My breakfast was 1 egg, 4 tsp tahini, 2 slices rye bread and coconut water. I tried to change the tahini but was NOT given oil selections as options to choose. One selection was the classic omelet recipe. So now my breakfast is one egg, one egg omelet and 2 pieces of rye bread. The first egg has nothing to cook it in (oil) so I guess it should be hard boiled or poached? The 2 slices of rye bread should be eaten dry? Why did I not get another oil for the tahini? What would I do with the original selection….put the tahini on the bread (yuk) or fry the egg in it ??

Sorry for the questions but I need to go back to whole unprocessed foods. I didnt lose weight so Im hoping that help with the quantity and combinations will solve my problem. Im on Jenny Craig now and feel the processed food is no good for me.

Thanks in advance!

Kelley
