 Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, linniedh13. First, don’t worry about seasoning you don’t like – add whatever you want there. Herbs and spices are very healthy, and you can choose whatever suits the two of you.
In the near future, there will be a feature added to the recipes for automatic downsizing of portions. In the meantime, try a simple downsize like 1/2, and freeze the extra. This can come in handy for meals where you want to prepare something quickly. Further, all new non-holiday recipes published will be for no more than 4 servings, some for only 2.
Don’t fret about food items that you know you won’t like – start gradually. First get used to the portion sizes and schedule with the foods you already have at home, then try gradually working in healthier versions of them, then once in a while try a new healthy food you didn’t know about and see if you like any of them. With some it takes practice and seasoning, but it is worth it in the end. |
 linniedh13 12 years ago | I am very discouaged with the menu choices so far. Most of the “healthiest choices” I haven’t heard of & reading the ingredients I know my husband will not eat them. There are only the 2 of us here (in our 60’s), and I all the dinner dishes are for 8/12 servings. I need a menu plan for 2. Is there a way to do this besides trying to figure out the % of each ingredient to cut it down?. I feel like I have failed before even getting started. My husband hates garlic, and so many recipes call for it. I sure don’t have the money or time to fix a huge dish & have to throw it out. Discouraged & thinking refund. |

| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Rodi. Something does seem odd there. I responded to you on another thread asking if all days seem strange and requesting a sample whole day from your menu (copy-paste), along with your height and weight, to do some checking. Thanks. |
| Rodi 12 years ago | please advice. I just sigh up today and I tried to get a week menu planner. I find it hard to understand, Am I doing it right? my dinner is one slice of bread and cheese and one cup of cabbage, breakfast is omelet, the recipe calls for one egg and it said is 2 serving. should I make a half egg omelet? also the scrumptious potatoes calls for one lb. of potato and is 8 servings, I am supposed to have 1 serving. 1/8 of a lb. is no way a decent side dish, this will for sure put my body in starvation mode and store fat. please advice. |
