 | Hi lgislandgirl, All of your downloads and guides are located in the My Downloads area. You will not be charged by going throughout the Trim Down Club website and looking over the material in the website. Your purchase was a one time payment. We do not charge any other ongoing membership fees. Also, Ossie our chief nutritionist is always around to answer your nutritional questions in these forums. It is also a great place to meet others that are taking part in the program. If you need any technical help, you can check out our FAQ page or contact our support team by clicking on FAQ or Contact Us links at the bottom of the website. Best of luck 😉 |
 | I just joined the program and I am working my way around the site. If I click on My Downloads, am I charged if I download something. Also I saw where you could download the entire program to use on your IPAD audibly. Is there a charge for that? Does it go into your ITUNES account? Or is it just put in your download file. After reading some of the Trim Down Club is a SCAM pages on the internet, I’m nervous to download anything. Plus I can’t remember what I clicked on. I think I just figured out why my portions were soooooo BIG! I had clicked on the larger cup pictured. I had no idea what that icon was!! |
| | Hi, Aliivor. There isn’t a function like that, but I suggest to either stay one week behind on your menus (i.e., repeat week one, then on to week two) so you can always plan ahead for shopping, or start using the Menu Planner application, which has an automatic shopping list function. The application is in “Apps” above, and comes with a video tutorial (available on the first page). |
 | Hello, I have just started on week one and whilst I understand that the program will determine the next weeks menu based upon my personal details, I would like to know if I can view week 2 menus so that I can shop for the necessary foods? |
| | Hi, Susan. Free foods are primarily vegetables, and you can find these by clicking on the “Vegetables” button in the Menu Planner application (link here https://www.trimdownclub.com/menu-planner/?v=1411371373v12 – see the second and third columns); other free foods are primarily seasonings, and you can see these by clicking on the “Free Foods” button (link here https://www.trimdownclub.com/menu-planner/?v=1411371373v12). The three beverages you mentioned are also free, and are all great options. If you don’t like or get tired of plain water, you can flavor it or carbonated/soda water with squeezes of citrus or with fruit infusions (soaking cut-up fruit or whole berries in water for a few hours), as well as natural sweeteners (see our guide on this here https://www.trimdownclub.com/the-best-way-to-sweeten-your-tea-2/). |
 | Are there “FREE” foods that I can eat if I become hungry? |
| | Hi. I just started the plan. What am I supposed to be drinking? Is it water only? Coffee? Tea? |
| | Hi, lbabbitt. True, this is not yet a feature, especially for recipes submitted by other Clubmembers rather than our team – which is the case for the recipe you mentioned (Mushroom and Sausage Quiche) but we are indeed working on this. However, you can just swap in whatever you wish, paying attention to portion sizes. |
| | Hi, ryleekins. I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. How are you doing 3 weeks in? |
 | I am at a loss trying to have my question answered through the tech department. I cannot substitute items in my Menu plan for items in your recipe list. Is this not a feature. The substitution list is very small and I would like to substitute, say your Egg and Sausage Quiche for a single meat portion but can’t access any of the recipes to substitute. Am I doing something wrong or is this not an option. |
 | I am two weeks into the program and I am enjoying eating a variety of foods. I am eating the meals as close to the menu as possible, but I find myself constantly hungry. I see that other people on the blog cannot eat all of the food listed, yet my body seems to burn through the food very fast. Is there something I can do to help with this? I try to stretch out my meal times every 3 hours, but if I go too long I will get a headache. I really want this to work for me. I have fibromyalgia and am on Lyrica which has caused me to gain some weight. I am also limited in what I can do for exercise because of the pain I am in. Do you have any recommendations for me?

| | Hi, Randi. Try nut or cereal milks (hazelnut is divine). If you use just a little bit of the latter, don’t worry about switching anything. |
