 Ossie-Sharon 10 years ago | Hi, Eileen. Thanks for the background! Yes, beer is fine. I would suggest you use the Menu Planner application to select the foods you want, including beer (it is in the “Fats” section under “Beverages”), and a menu will be generated based on your selections and nutritional needs.
By the way, when you get down to 132 lbs, you will automatically be given less food. If you want to “trick” the system into giving you less already, go ahead an put 132 or less as your weight now. |
| eileenpixley 10 years ago | Hi Ossie, Thanks for answering. I can work with your suggestion. For some body background..I was a ballerina. Quit at 36- maintained a 100 lb or less figure, then worked the night-shift as a stocker (40hr week)for 15 years. (115-150lbs)Settling at 120 as a running weight. Retired over a year ago. I recently started a physiotherapy routine (back issues) and stationary bike work: 10min.a day. I’m not well self motivated. That’s why I decided I needed your help with a set menu plan. Yes, one meal a day is dramatic. I enjoy the healthy diet you offer…I’m just not used to the volume. I also love a beer in the evening…is there room for this? Thanks, Eileen |
| Ossie-Sharon 10 years ago | Hi, Eileen, and welcome. It may take your body a while to get used to eating normal amounts of food, and certainly a change from one meal a day to this is rather dramatic. If it makes things easier, you can make the change gradually, but just eating the 3 meals per day, taking care to get at least 5 total fruits+vegetable servings and 3 calcium-rich foods per day.
Exercise is also important, of course – what is you current physical activity level? |
| eileenpixley 10 years ago | I’ve never eaten this much in my life! I keep hovering at 140 & no relief in sight. I’ve gone from one good meal a day to too much food. I don’t know if I can do this. It’s been 2 weeks…. |
