![]() | Hi, Grandmimi. Your body burn calories at rest, too, not just through physical activity. Have you been on restrictive diets in the past? |
![]() | Also, there is no way I can work off over 1,010 calories off a day. Am I confused in thinking that I should be working off more calories than I eat? Thanks for the help. |
![]() | I’m so confused. I have followed the menu and have been exercising but I am not able to exercise more than 1059 calories days off and have gained two pounds in the past week. I don’t think I should be eating so many carbs or calories in a day. What am I doing wrong? I am so frustrated because I believe I followed the menu. Have done core work, arm work with weights and jump rope for about 10 minutes or 15 minutes 3X a week. I didn’t expect to see immediate results but also didn’t expect to gain more weight. Please help. |
![]() | Hi, Grandmimi. At your current weight, you are allotted about 2100-2200 calories each day. As you lose significant amounts of weight, this amount goes down to keep pace with your goals. |
![]() | Can you tell me how many calories I am alloted on this menu? Just seems like a lot and would just like confirmation that my menu is correct. Thanks so much for the help. |
![]() | Hi, Grandmimi. Don’t worry about the dates on the menus – just follow whichever is the most updated. Overall, the plan is actually low in carbs – about 40-45% of calories, compared to up to 70% in a regular diet. |
![]() | Hello — I just started TDC this week and have a few questions. First, I purchased last week but had to purchase food and get prepared before starting. How do I change the start date on my menus? Second, I’ve completed day 1 of menu but was surprised at the high carbs. Did I do something wrong when selecting menu options? I am a Diabetic (T1) and carbs will raise my sugars very high. Although, I was again, surprised that they maintained pretty good thru out the day. Lastly, is there an exercise option for this program? Thanks so much for your assistance. |
