Hi, ChrisWood. The menus are already quite low-carb – about 40-45% of energy, compared to 50-65% in “regular” diets.

Well done Dianna. This is my 3rd day, getting hunger pains. First time in years. I really need to plan a bit more and havn’t yet read all the info. I wish they had a 30 day low carb diet but I guess I will have to work that out for myself from the menu.
Will keep you all informed when I weigh in on Friday.

Just wanted to let you know Ossie-Sharon I have managed to loose 3.8 lbs this week. My first loss for months. Thanks for your support.

Hi Ossie-Sharon thanks for that.

I’ve just hit my 2ndweek button and it’s taken me to the 21day menu plan. I would rather continue to follow the 7 day menu planner with an option to swap. Is that ok? I already make healthy choices!

As ever thank you for your prompt answers Ossie-Sharon I will make a note of them

Hi, Dianna. Koko is fine, just note that it contains carageenan, which is inflammatory for some (not everyone reacts negatively to it) – just remember that it is low in protein. Black strap molasses is excellent Each tablespoon is equal to a “carb” exchange, which means you can also swap it in for a “sweet”.
Ribena is more of an issue, because it contains artificial sweeteners that may work against your efforts here. You may be better off getting something like Radnor Heartsease http://www.radnorhills.co.uk/en/heartsease-farm-sparkling-juice-drink-6377.html, or making your own fruit-infused water and adding a natural sweetener such as Stevia/rebiana or monk fruit (lo han guo).

A very nice lady AnnaH has redirected me as I posted in wrong place. How lovely anyway Ossie-Sharon a couple if points 1. Can I incorporate koko dairy free coconut milk daily into my menu planner? 2. I have organic black strap molasses daily too what do I need to cut out to allow this. Lastly AnnaH answered my last request which was ribena plus no added sugar squash. She thought no because of sweeteners. Thank you so much Dianna

No – same thing. It is under Protein – Miscellaneous.

Thanks Ossie- Sharon I must have missed it. is it the same name in America or called something different?

Hi, Dianna. Absolutely! Quorn is actually an item in the Menu Planner.

Diannasmith 10 years ago

So sorry if this has been answered before. I’m newbie and have been looking through forum. Thanks for all the lovely tips and support . My question is may I substitute Quorn protein, for meat, in my chilli? Thank you Dianna
