 | Sometimes I just love to enjoy a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I usually buy the omega 3 peanut butter. What about jelly? What is a good healthier option of jelly I can buy? |

I don’t get this program at all & I have only been on it for less than a week & have already gined 4 lbs. |
 | I don’t eat bread, are there crackers you can eat instead? There seems to be too many choices and too much cooking especially for 1 person. Is there a easy version to follow? |
 | Hi, Melanie. How your clothes are fitting is absolutely the bottom line! Scale weights can be misleading at this early stage. |
 | I am starting Week #3 and I am gaining weight. It’s only about 2 lbs. but this is not the direction I am counting on. I am very full and rarely looking forward to the next snack or meal. My choices for menu planner are healthy (89-90%). I seem to be trimming inches, however, as my clothes seem to fit better and others who don’t see me regularly have asked if I’m losing weight. When can I expect the scale to reflect my diligence? |
| | Hi, Nancy. If it specifies “cooked,” then measure it after cooking. |
 | I am not sure I’m doing certain portions correctly. When it says “1/3 cup rice (cooked)” or “3/4 cup oatmeal (cooked)” does it mean I measure it before or after cooking it? I measured my rice after cooking and my oatmeal before cooking and they can’t both be right! |

 | Can anyone help me figure out how to upload a picture for my profile. I have chosen a picture from my computer, selected it and it will show up on my home screen but says on the bottom left “crop picture”. When I click on that to crop it, it disappears. What am I doing wrong? I have uploaded pictures to programs or files before but can’t seem to get this one to work. I would appreciate some help or I will just have to leave my profile empty. Thank you. |
| | Hi, Gary, and welcome! You can read about those issues in our main “Program Guide,” available in “My Downloads” (in the upper right corner of each site page). In a nutshell, avoid overly processed/refined foods and artificial ingredients, and favor whole fresh foods. |
| | I have found using the 8 week plan allows me to adapt menus so that I can eliminate foods I really don’t like – but plain greek yogurts mixed with fruit taste better than some of the others… |
 | hello everyone, can anyone tell me about alcohol how much we can have and what to avoid and what is good? |
 | New member. Can you help me with regards to organic foods vs. Regular store bought foods? Living in a small town, not much choice, plus, to order online is very costly. Can I just use regular foods when organic is called for. Same with eggs, omega vs regular? |
