Hi, Montanan. Soy milk is fine if it is organic and fortified, and made from whole soy beans.
Almond and coconut milk area also fine, but again, they should be fortified and made from whole ingredients.Hello I am very new to this website as well as eating healthy. I really need some help with understanding this website and this new lifestyle better. Please anyone who has advice and stories and recipes please add me as a friend. I need a lot of support working with this. Thank you so much.
Hi, Bobbie, and welcome! In this forum category, the first 2-3 topics are full of what you are seeking. In addition, I encourage you to join one or more of the groups (link above). The most popular is “Successful Beginnings”.
Okay so I have a few questions. The other day I went to whole foods to try and see if they have all the food I would need here. I really enjoy sweets but I am gonna try very hard to stay away from them and only have them once in a while. Ice cream is definately one of my favorite late night snacks. I was wondering if I replace ice cream with frozen yogurt what brand would be the best to buy. I saw some at whole foods but they were all pretty full of sugar. Is that okay or should I just skip that all together?
Hi, Bobbie. The trick to making a good choice is to check out the ingredients label and Nutrition Facts panel. In the ingredients list, the best ones are made of whole foods, without refined or genetically modified ingredients (including corn syrup) or artificial preservative, flavoring, coloring, or texturizing additives. In the nutrition panel, the best choices will have the lowest amount of “sugars”. Your best bet will generally be to choose “organic” products.
Example of recommended ingredients list: PASTEURIZED ORGANIC CREAM AND ORGANIC NONFAT MILK, ORGANIC CANE SUGAR, ORGANIC DARK BROWN SUGAR, ORGANIC CREAM [ORGANIC CREAM], ORGANIC EGG YOLKS, WATER, SEA SALT, ORGANIC SOY LECITHIN (NON-GMO, ADDED AS AN EMULSIFIER).
Example of ingredients list to avoid: MILK, SUGAR, CORN SYRUP, BUTTER PECANS [PECANS, COTTONSEED OIL, BUTTER (CREAM, SALT), SALT], CREAM, WHEY, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, SALT, CAROB BEAN GUM, GUAR GUM, NATURAL FLAVORS, CARRAGEENAN, LACTASE ENZYME, ANNATTO (FOR COLOR), VITAMIN A PALMITATE, TARA GUM.Hi I am new have just now setting some goals and wish to lose a lot I will be trying to work on my new life ahead in weight lost.

Hi all. I am new to program and just curious…
1) What about sushi? My family loves chinese, so I am wondering if I could get away with a little sushi…
2) What about brussel sprouts?
Hi, Yohe.Judy, and welcome! I’m happy to answer your questions.
1) Definitely – just keep track of the amounts of rice, fish/eggs, and avocado – the rest is “free”. We do recommend that you consider making or ordering it with brown rice and using low-sodium soy sauce.
2) Brussels sprouts and other cruciferous vegetables are encouraged.
