j9moorequilterMemberThere sure seems to be a lot of carbohydrates in the menu plan.

cmroyMemberHi, I am having trouble eating a lot that is on my menu. I find that there is too much food at snack times. Especially the meat portion at each snack time. What can I do to reduce this or eliminate it from snack time.

Ossie-SharonMemberHi, j9moorequilter. This is actually a fairly low-carbohydrate program, with only about 45% of energy from carbohydrates (compared to about 60-70% in average modern western habits).

TobybethMemberHi ~
How long until I see some result? Today is day 9 for me and I adjust my daily menu choices so that the day is between 89% – 92% and I have added exercise to my daily routine. I used to be a junk food junkie, all sugar all the time and I have gone “cold turkey” on all of it! I also used to only eat one meal (dinner) a day and snack on what ever.
Just want to know when I can expect to see results 🙁March 9, 2017 at 1:59 pm #38028
Ossie-SharonMemberHi, cmroy. If you change your weight in the system to 165 lbs, you will start getting a little less food.

Ossie-SharonMemberHi, Tobybeth. That varies widely for people, depending on past dieting experiences. The average is about three weeks.

Ossie-SharonMemberHi, gumbogaga. I just need to know his age, height, weight, and general physical activity level, and I will get back to you with that information.

dmelodyMemberHello. I’m trying to fill out the menu part and it requires more carbs. I have a crazy diet. I’m a vegetarian who eats some fish, not very much. I am also completely grain free do to allergies. How can I complete the menu planning to get some recipe ideas? I hope TDC will be able to help me?

Ossie-SharonMemberHi, dmelody. Do you eat legumes? These are in the carb category.

redwinggirlMemberI’m a newbie and have a couple questions. I went on Pinterest and found some Trimclub recipes and wanted to know how to add them into my menu? Also is peanut butter a food we can eat, if so, where can I put that into my menu?

asimpson330MemberI’m also a newly joined person with lots of food problems so found it hard to get a decent menu that didn’t just consist of yoghurt. Don’t eat fish or meat. Have problems with cheese, eggs and other such. Don’t eat fruit. Love nuts but I know they don’t always like me. Can’t eat bread. Love pasta but cannot have pesto or garlic or mushrooms or onions. I’m on medication for stomach problems but really need to get some help to make up recipes I can eat.

Ossie-SharonMemberHi, redwinggirl. If you use the personal version of the Menu Planner application (the right-most option here: http://www.trimdownclub.com/menu-planner), you will see some of our recipes in the “Recipes” subcategory of each major food group. For newer recipes that have not yet been added into the system, you can match up the exchanges visible at the end of each recipe to those allotted to you. Your exchanges are visible when you click on “Exchange Mode” in the toolbar above your menu. Peanut butter is definitely allowed (preferably the type with no added sugar or hardened fats) – it is referred to as “Nut Butter” in the Menu Planner food lists.

Ossie-SharonMemberHi, asimpson330, and welcome 🙂 It looks like you would benefit most by using the fully personal version of the Menu Planner (the right-most option here – http://www.trimdownclub.com/menu-planner). There you can select the specific foods that work for you, and avoid the troublesome items entirely.
