I have a question concerning the “free” veggies. I was trying to explain the diet to my significant other, and he keeps telling me that I should keep the portions conservative, even if I’m eating celery or cucumbers, which happen to be my favorite snack veggies. Would you please explain to me, so I can explain to my stubborn man, that if I want to crunch on cut of celery, I don’t have to limit myself to 1 rib or stalk. I can eat a whole bunch of celery in 3 servings. I don’t think that’s so unreasonable if it satisfies my need for crunch, and if I add my grains and a dairy choice, shouldn’t that be a good snack? or is it too much? On the menu samples, there is a serving of Vegetable of your choice and an ounce of walnuts. I am so confused…

Hi, Ms. Carr. Have you been on restrictive diets in the past? If so, your body may need some time to readjust to regular amounts of food. Sometimes making changes to your exercise routine can help jumpstart things – either swap different exercises to work new muscles and/or add little bursts of higher intensity exercise here and there in your regular workout (for example, if you walk or use a treadmill, insert a half-minute run every 5-10 minutes, or add an incline, etc.).
Aa for the food itself, you don’t have to get stuck with anything you don’t like or are sick of. Attached is the list of exchanges (https://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists), and you can swap these freely, without worrying about filling out the menu choices (just be sure to follow the pattern in the Exchange View (to see this, click on the third toolbar icon from the left).

Don’t know what I am doing wrong. I am measuring and eating what the plan says to do for last 2 weeks and still haven’t lost. I hope this is the right place to ask a dietian. I am tired of popcorn and don’t care for so much fish. Chile is O:K once a month but not every day.I really don’t like that either. I admit I did put some things on my list I don’t really care for because it said I had to fill up the blue area before going any further. Is there anyone to talk to that can give me some advice.
