Hi, Apensa. Whole foods (like egg and yogurt) are better, but if it’s something you like, then it’s a good idea for ensuring lots of protein in the morning.
Hi can any one tell me how to eat when you work shifts and have to have pack up instead of cooked meals
Hi I have just started and was wondering what is the best bread to buy from woolworths as I am cofused?
Hi, Carol. I suggest you use the personal version of the Menu Planner (the right-most option in the application area (http://www.trimdownclub.com/menu-planner) so that you can select the specific foods that meet your needs. The following is a list of ideas:
•Fresh and dried fruit
•Cut raw vegetables
•Oven-baked vegetable chips
•Nuts and seeds
•Trail mix combinations of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit
•Sandwiches – good breads with nut butters, hummus and similar spreads, tahini, canned or smoked fish, cheese, homemade “cold cuts” from fresh meats, egg salad, etc.
•Whole grain or Paleo crackers plus any of the above
•Hard-boiled eggs
•Sliced or string cheese
•Cottage cheese
•Yogurt
•Milk (dairy or vegetal), plain or flavored with cocoa powder and a recommended sweetener
•Hearty soup in a thermos (2-3 food groups, i.e. meat or legume, vegetable, whole grain)
•Hearty smoothie/shake in a thermos (2-3 food groups, i.e. fruit/vegetable, dairy/vegan, seeds)
•Edamame or other legume/pulse snacks
•Whole grain or Paleo cereal or granola (cold in small sealable bag, cooked in thermos)
•Canned beans
•Prepared healthy foods in containers – from leftovers or prepared the night or weekend before.
•Homemade whole-food muffins or bars
•Popped grains, i.e. organic popcorn, sorghum, quinoaHi, Joann. Bill’s Certified Organic 100% Wholemeal or Ancient Grain Wholemeal are best, followed by Helga’s Traditional Wholemeal, then Abbott’s Village Farmhouse Wholemeal.
I am new just started today my question is the free vegetables can you eat them at any time or just when your menu says 1 serving of vegetables of your choice?
Hi there – I have just joined the trim down club and reviewing the daily menu planners. I am really struggling with the amount of carbohydrates – bread/ryvitas etc… Do I just need to accept that I have not been eating enough of the right type of foods…I am afraid I will put on more weight with all this food!
Hi, Fiona, and welcome! The menus are actually fairly low in carbohydrates, about 45% of energy (compared to about 60% in regular diets). You can improve on this by selecting wholemeal versions.
If you run into trouble, please repost here, and I would be happy to work with you.thanks I have been finding myself hungry so was wondering if I could fill up on the free veggies good to know
Hi
HiI have made up a few menu’s and they all look great, do we eat everything that is listed in each section or is it a selection of the items listed. My menu for breakfast today was, 1/2 cup porridge, 14g walnuts, 1 banana and 170g of fat free greek yoghurt.
thanks
