I’m planning to start this program in the next few days. I am a type 2 diabetic and just found out I have a higher reading on the microalbumin in my urine. Will this program help me get that under control? Is the recommended daily menu one that I will lose weight on and lower my blood sugar?
Hi! I am going to start my new life style tomorrow. Can I swap a fruit for a vegetable at lunch? I am trying to add more vegetables, but I didn’t buy a lot at the store today as I got overwhelmed by trying to stick to the grocery list. I realized the fruit will have more natural sugars than the veggies.
Hi, MrsBarros. Until someone else jumps in, I suggest checking out the Menu Planner application and reading the materials available through the “My Guides” link at the top right of the page.
Hi, jlaurini, and welcome. This program is indeed designed for people like you in mind. As you get used to how the menu-building Menu Planner application works, you are encouraged to use the fully personal version, where you can make the healthiest choices possible.
Hi, pastormary. If you are seeking the list of “free” seasonings, click on the “Free Foods” button in the Menu Planner foods lists (you can reach that area by clicking in the “My Food Choices” icon (an apple) in the toolbar above your menu.

Hi, Always had a healthy lifestyle and no real weight problems until Menopause. So now it’s a struggle and have 20 or more to lose. I followed the plan easily with preferred food choices first week lost 2 lbs. Yay! and found it satisfying and easy. Second week, same plan with minor changes, like shrimp instead of salmon, etc. and weighed myself at end of week, and no loss, not even 1/2 lb. Why? and what can I expect and what can change to keep it coming off. p.s. I even added 2 extra walks 2nd week since weather cooperated nicely here in New England…
Hi, Joyce. Healthy weight loss can be uneven – not to worry. If you have always had a healthy lifestyle, you may benefit from making fairly frequent changes to your fitness regime (perhaps every 3 weeks), including adding strength-training (weights, push-ups, etc.) and even some intermittent high-intensity bursts (jogging for 30 seconds for every 5 minutes of your walk).
I actually am in my second week although the website thinks I’m on my first. Not sure what difference it makes. I’m coming along. One thing that is a little crazy making is giving amounts in ounces. I personally do not have a way to evaluate how much is 1 oz. Why not tablespoon? I can measure tablespoons. At first I thought this was too much food but I seem to have adjusted. What happened is that I decided it was too much food and then tried to get a sense of the thinking behind the menus and go with that. Now I see that I’m doing just about what it says.The largest meal should be at noon with largest protein serving. I’m better off with cooked vegetables so that definitely keeps me in the kitchen. If I keep losing weight, it’s all good.
