new to program

Hi, NatashaAnn. Don’t worry about foods you don’t know. Just ease into the program with foods you recognize, and eventually upgrade to whole, natural versions if you can. You can read about some of the newer foods in our articles, and if you wish, try some out (our recipe collection may be a good starting place).
With regard to balancing foods, we recommending getting at least three main food groups into a main meal, ideally combining a protein with a high-fiber carbohydrate and adding produce. So in your example of Weetabix and milk, fruit would be ideal to add. Other meal examples would be a cheese sandwich and a salad.

Hi Donners,

Please note, there is no time limit with regards to how long you spend on each week. You can take your time, and go at your own pace. Once you complete a week it will automatically unlock the next week, but you can remain in the week you are on, and also return to previous weeks should you wish.

Best 😉

I am new to this. There are a lot of foods on here that I have never heard of or I just don’t eat. I have two children that would not eat what is on the menu. Is there a way that I could learn what foods balance out certain foods? An example is if I were to have a weetbix and 1/2 cup milk for breakfast, what should I have with that?

How do I get to my menue from my home page? I am new and trying to access from work

Hi – I too am new to this. Can someone tell me how much a cup is please? Just want to get the measurements right and looking at the 60 day challenge I see lots of items are measured in cups. Thanks

Hi, Tamara, and welcome. I would be happy to analyze them for you. Just scan them and send them to support@trimdownclub.com with a note that they are intended for me. As for the rest, just take your time and ease into it. The most important thing is to get used to the types of foods we recommended, as well as the portions, combinations, and schedules. You can download the program guide in My Downloads above – this may give you a general idea. You can also enter the Menu Planner application (in “Apps” above) and start experimenting with selecting foods to have a menu generated based on your needs.

Hello;
I am new to the program. I am having a hard time navigating the site. Not sure how to get everything started. I printed off Diet Journal sheets, I will fill these 3 days in Monday and then can it be analyzed by a nutritionist?

Hi, Lucie61, and welcome. I’m happy to help. Where do you live?
