It isn\’t clear to me where to post a question but I\’ll try here…
Just got this diet but after looking it over, it seems like it will be expensive
and I could never eat that much food in one day..does it work if you don\’t eat all
the food that is on the daily diet menu? I don\’t think I will be able to do this. Thanks..JayloHi I checked your Breakfast recipes and did not see any Breakfast smoothies, they are my favorite Breakfast.
Do you have any recipes for smoothies?
tjgreenough (Trudy)Not sure where to post a question, but will start here, as well:
What is the ratio between protein and low carbs and high carbs?
I want to start with my own diet for the first few days rather than
with recipes. Thank you.
SharenIf this diet is geared towards a balance between protein and carbs,
does anyone know the answer to the ratio of protein to carbs per meal?
thank youYou can ask questions here. “SWG” means “sprouted whole grain”. You can find these products in health-oriented supermarkets such as Whole Foods, Trader Joes, New Leaf, etc. You can also find them online.
Ossie: Thank you so much for replying to my question re protein to
carb ratio. I had the opposite in my head, i.e. eating more protein and less carbs.

again.Hi, Sharen. Many qucik weight loss plans emphasize proteins over carbs – that may be OK long-term for some diabetics, but for most, this is not healthy, and fat needs carbs to burn properly. Without enough carbs, the body poisons itself a little and that’s how the weight comes off – but it’s usually temporary weight loss. A proper “physiological” balance will help with healthy, long-term weight balance.
cstroll1230: Yes, you can substitute items on the menu with items in the same food group (protein for protein, etc.), or even switch items around from those in other meals – just be sure to include plenty of protein in the morning and go esay on portions in the evening unless you have late-night workouts or your job is on the night shift.
Hi Ossie: Just one more question; If am I’m understanding the theory of protein/carbs, here are three meal examples that I would prepare:
Breakfast: 2 eggs scrambled w/cheese (protein)
2 SWG slices of toast (fast carbs)
1 orange (slow carbs)
Lunch: 2 sl of SWG bread (fast carbs)
1 oz chicken/turkey (protein)
1 fruit or 1/2 cup veggies (slow carbs)
Dinner: 2 oz protein
medium baked potato
1 fruit or 1/2 cup veggie
So, that is my understanding, I hope I am correct.
Thanks again.
SharenIf that is the pattern your received according to your weight and weight goal, then yes for the most part – though I would suggest to add another ounce of protein to your lunch.
Thank you once again. I will check more into the protein and mix of carbs. It’s still a tad confusing to me, for some reason I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around eating more carbs and less protein.
Thank you.
SharenHi, I would like to know something about the plan in general. Why would i need a place to write all the food i eat a day? Why would i need a place to write my weight every day? Why do I need this website? This question is not “mean“it’s serious. How do YOU use this website to loose weight, beside reading and writing everything down. Thank you, Brigitte
