I’ve just enrolled and am looking at my first menu. There seem to be a lot of strange ingredients that I have never come across, and some seem very American. I live in a South Cambridgeshire village. We have a well-stocked village shop and a farm shop nearby where I do most of my shopping. I’m worried that I won’t find some of the items in either of them. For example, I never eat pizza but the options are things I’d never heard of. There is a FAQ about where to buy things but it appears to be a US website, not one that would deliver here. Anyone got any advice as to where to buy things in the UK please?
Hi, Sailaway, and welcome. The foods in our lists are actually collected from around the world (and available in the UK), but lesser known to many. They were selected because they are less mass-produced and therefore relatively unmanipulated and more nutritious and supportive of health and healthy weight management. I encourage you to take advantage of our shopping guide http://www.trimdownclub.com/where-to-buy-UK; one of the sites, http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk, offers nice explanations of their foods. Regular supermarkets such as Tesco, Asda, and Waitrose are increasingly carrying these items as health-conscious consumers are increasingly requesting them; Holland and Barrett carries even more, of course, and Whole Foods Market even more.
I recommend that you use the personal version of the Menu Planner application so that you can select the foods you like, and not worry about the ones that don’t work for you. You can get to it by clicking on “My Food Choices” in the toolbar above your current menu.Hi, Sailaway, and welcome.
