Olives ??? I’ve never eaten as many olives in my life as I have over the last three days? What is the rationale behind so many olives? There’s no substitution offered, but I don’t like them enough to have them twice a day.
Hi, Carys. You can have a teaspoon of oil, tablespoon of nuts or seeds, or 2 tablespoons of avocado instead of the olives.
Hi, I’m new this week. I don’t see beans anywhere? I have lots of healthy recipes like one I am doing tonight that has squash, chicken, quinoa, tomato and beans- what exchange is beans? I don’t eat soy and don’t like edamame, thanks!

i am on a limited budgetwhat exercises to do
i walk 30 minutes with 8lbs and do squats dailyHi, jxyzobrien. Yes, you can use canola oil, though we do recommend the cold-pressed type (and organic, if possible). You can repeat meals, days, and even whole weeks, if you wish.
The exercises you’re doing look great. You can get additional ideas in our 8-week series (see the link on our home page) – weeks 1, 3, 5, and 7 provide a video at the bottom of the page.Hi, pamaround. Beans are in the Carbohydrates section of the Menu Planner food lists – each 1/2 cup (120 ml) cooked = 1 carb + 1 protein exchange.

some weightHi All! I’m new to this and completely overwhelmed thinking about picking healthier foods. It sounds easy until I get to the grocery store and am just overwhelmed by the choices. I’m going to start with margarine, I’ve always used a form of it and for the last several years have used I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter light. It doesn’t say margarine and is much lower in the fat category than butter. Can you help me sort this out???
Hi, jxyzobrien. The best way to flavor water is to steep it with citrus peels, cut up fruit, or gently bruised berries.
Hi, rpenni01, and welcome. It’s great that you are starting with one thing at a time – just ease into things! The best way to determine if a product is OK is to check the ingredients list – if it contains overly processed or artificial items, it’s not what we would recommend. Your go-to product is fine, though something like Earth Balance may be better.
I like a glass of red wine with dinner. Should I cut this out and how will it affect my plan if I don’t
