New to Trim Down Club and have many questions

I have been wondering how to set up a gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar-free diet. When I look at the food choices and the recipes there are too many ingredients that I am unable to use.
I signed onto this site because I was hoping to get help setting up menu plans and recipes that would work with my allergies and sensitivies. Can you help?

To the Brits, who like me are floundering a bit – we can get raw milk from some Farmers Markets. As am in London have found the nearest to me & the link is: http://www.lfm.org.uk/what-can-i-buy/ There are not a lot of providers but its a start,otherwise its organic which somesupermarkets & milkmen will offer.
Generally I will be starting slow & using up what I have in the fridge/cupboards before I do a large shop, introducing the plan slowly. As to the menu planner – putting in substitutes where needed. My main issue is portion control and the small & frequent approach I hope will work with me – just have to get organised on work days so have what I need with me! The other issue is night time cravings – that may take a little time. I am hoping these forums are going to be places for support and advice & sharing of solutions & recipes (especially Brit friendly ones).

SWG means “sprouted whole grain” – see the article explaining its value https://www.trimdownclub.com/what-is-swg-bread

hi joyce what have you not downloaded? you did something right your in here asking question

I just went to my closest health food store here in Wichita and they told me it is illegal in Kansas to sell raw milk. I know organic is the next best but is it really much different from regular dairy milk? I read that it is the pasteurization process that kills the good stuff in raw milk so it is also killed in organic milk. What do I do about all these raw milk products in the menu planner program?

Half-and-half is a fat, and it is recommended to limit each daily amount to 3 tablespoons per day. Having said that, perhaps you can gradually work in a healthier alternative, i.e. higher-fat almond milk (brands: Pacific, Blue Diamond, Almond Dream) – these have the best textures, don’t need to be counted in the menu planner if the amount used is a cup or less, and most importantly, almond fat is much better for you than saturated dairy fat.
