Skinnycarein53MemberI’m not sure how to get started.

Ossie-SharonMemberHi, Skinnycarein53. It looks like you’re off to a great start! You have generated some menus – have you tried them out? If not, I would be happy to help with any barriers as best I can.
Other than that, you can read up on healthy habits through our “Tips and Tricks” searchable article collection, and get healthy food preparation ideas from our searchable recipe collection. You can also see some exercise videos in the “8-Week” program (link on the home page), at the bottoms of the pages for Weeks 1, 3, and 5 – Week 7 has yoga for relaxation.
If you have any questions, you can post in these forums, and I will get back to you.February 19, 2020 at 5:11 pm #45203
diannclarkMemberWhen a breakfast says pancakes or waffles, what you you put on them? Butter, syrup, etc… I can’t find any information on that.

Ossie-SharonMemberHi, diannclark. Yes – up to 2 teaspoons of syrup or jam is “free,” and after that, you can substitute a tablespoon of syrup or jam OR 1/2 tablespoon of butter for each 1/4-ounce of nuts.

mona09ParticipantHi Sharon
I started my diet plan today. For breakfast and for one snack I haven whole wheat bread. What kind of spread or butter can I use? Thank you.February 24, 2020 at 8:39 pm #45255
Ossie-SharonMemberHi, Mona09. You can have up to one teaspoon of any spread.

mona09ParticipantThanks. What about drinks, any juices allowed?
February 25, 2020 at 6:53 pm #45270
Ossie-SharonMemberHi, Mona09. 1/2 cup of freshly-squeezed juice = 1 fruit exchange. We don’t encourage preserved juices. Plain coffee or tea, or sweetened with a natural no-calorie sweetener like Stevia and/or erythritol, are free. If you add milk, up to 1/4 cup is free.

Dawn200MemberI signed up for this program and then got sick the next day. I have been in bed for the last 2 1/2 days and haven’t been able to get to the store or do anything with this. Is there a way to start this when I am feeling like a human again?

mona09ParticipantThanks Sharon.

Dawn200MemberShould I even start this until I am at 100% or can I start at anytime?

Dawn200MemberIs anyone reading my posts?
February 26, 2020 at 6:54 am #45281
Ossie-SharonMemberHi, Dawn. You can start anytime. If you can’t jump in 100%, just make small improvements as best you can.
