Success stories? Anyone care to share?
 | Hi, ARKnowles. The forums are where I get my contacts, but if you are interested in private dietitian consultations, the Club offers the Dietitian Online service. |
 | While I am not locked strictly into the menus yet, I am following the 3 meals and 3 snacks routine, eating things that are recommended as much as possible. Not getting hungry! Down only 1 lb. so far, in 4 days. Today was my 6 month appointment for my diabetes. With mostly vegan eating, I am 7.1 with my A1C, 171 cholesterol, 45 HDL cholesterol, 213 triglycerides, calculated LDL cholesterol 83. My doctor says all looks pretty good except the triglycerides and the weight. Lose 20 lbs by Christmas he says and I can get rid of some of my medications. He tells me to watch anything that ends in -ose, including fructose. So here goes — a goal of 3 1/2 lbs per month will get me there. I’m hoping Trim Down Club will help me accomplish that. |
 | Thanks Ossie Sharon. How do I email you? |
 | Hi I lost 4 lbs! I think it was from decreasing and changing the carbs. I have found Greek Yogourt to be the best for me |
| | Hi, ARKnowles. Congratulations! More to come, I’m sure. |
| | I started at the weekend, having just about decided that all my excess weight is here to stay! I’m pleased to report that I’ve not felt hungry once and have already lost five pounds! I made my first loaf of swg bread yesterday (I live in the UK so it’s not possible to get hold of the ready-made thing) – the bread was delicious and as easy to make as any other -using a bread machine. Going to make tortilla wraps next. The only criticism that I have is that the evening meal is a little sparse. I would prefer to eat less during the morning and have more at night. I know the theory but is there any room for manoeuvre on this? |
 | I just started a few days ago, I have lost around 2.5 lbs. I have cheated a few times, I’m trying to completely cut out my cheats….. I think this program is about teaching us All how to properly eat and what kinds of foods are best. I’m feeling great, my waist line has gotten much smaller, my clothing is getting looser, I have about 50lbs to go to reach my goal weight, I’m hoping to make that happen by November. Best of luck to you all. |
 | New to the program hope it work. |
 | I have been trying to follow the the plan for 7 days now and have lost 4 pounds!! I have made changes to my carb choices and increased my activity. This next week I plan on following the meal plan even closer to see better results. Feeling pumped for health!!! |
 | Hi all. My husband and i started this program nearly 3 weeks ago and i have lost 6lbs and my husband has lost 7lbs! We haven’t felt hungry on it either.Keep going is my advice. I am really enjoying it. |
 | I have not been keeping a record of my weight nor checking in for recipe ideas. No weight loss, no surprise! As they say in school reports ” must try harder “! |
| | Hi, Jude. These types of items are found in health-oriented shops and online. I would encourage you to pay a visit to such a shop near you (http://www.organicexplorer.co.nz/shop/New+Directory/Browse+By+Type/EAT/Retail+Store.html). |
 | Thank you Ossie. that info will help me a lot. Also, I am interested in Amaranth, Edamame and Spelt Bread. What are these? and where do I get them from? I am asking these questions to find out this info quickly as I don’t have the time/energy to look around too much out there. I am coping with fibromyalgia and diabetes 2 (no drugs for both)… can be tiring. I am grateful for any help and guidance:) |
| | Hi, Jude. Until other kiwis chime in here, I just want to note that some of the foods in the Menu Planner lists are considered unfamiliar because they are not widely marketed – part of the reason they are good choices. These foods were chosen for their higher health level that many mainstream foods (partly because they are less manipulated for sales), and have been found to make a good contribution to healthy metabolism and weight loss. |
| | Hello I have just joined and I am from New Zealand. Any Kiwis out there? there are foods on the list I have never heard of! What are Jerusalem Artichokes? What is Natto, Seutan and tempeh? Also, what is spelt bread? I am very interested in Hickory nuts as well… what are they? I would be very grateful if someone would enlighten me as I don’t want to miss out on any potentially ‘exciting’ food lol! I am about to take the ‘plunge’ and have read the material given. It all sounds awesome to me and I am excited about the whole program. I am wishing everyone all the very best and please wish the same for yours truly… thank you:) |
