I am going on my third week of this diet/way of eating. I was eating fairly healthy before this although I did have the sweet and carb cravings which I don’t have right now. I have lost about 1 pound in 2 weeks. Very discouraging. I know it is suppose to be slow but still discouraging. Has anyone else had the same experience?
Hi, ktnzmom2000. For people who are very close to their ideal body weight – as you are – healthy weight loss does indeed tend to be slow. It is great to read that you sugar cravings are decreasing, and this can pay off in general health as well as healthy weight. Are you physically active?
I am not physically active right now (tore the ligaments in my toe). Is there a place to change my activity level to zero and that would change my meal plan? How is this plan specific to each individual person? Thanks you.
Hi, ktnzmom2000. We actually try to work with you to find a type of physical activity that can work for you, because weight loss without it means more loss of muscle than fat – which is very unhealof thy. There are plenty of things you can do “without” a toe – working your arms, and belly, for example, as well as working your legs without bearing weight on them. Take a look at the videos at the bottom of Weeks 1, 3, 5, and 7 in our “8-Week Program” (link on the home page), as well as the following videos:

I’m just getting started and am confused about some of the protein choices. What do uncured ham and “poultry, ham, uncured” mean? Where can I find these types of meat?
Hi, kswanson. “Uncured” means that they haven’t been processed with artificial nitrates or nitrites (chemicals that are consideered carcinogenic). You can find uncured meats in health-oriented stores such as Whole Foods Market and Trader Joes, as well as warehouse-type stores like CostCo and Target.
Hi guys. Need some advice. How important is it to ear ALL the food in the daily menu? Can I skip the snacks?
Hi, OliviaGibson. The intention is for you to eat all the items, in order to meat your nutritional needs and prevent hunger. If it is too much, you can cut back a little, preferably from the starchy carbohydrate foods and minimally from protein foods. By the end of the day, it is important to get a total of 5 fruit/vegetable and 3 calcium-rich food/beverage servings.
This is my very first day as a member. I just had the broccoli and cheese broiled thingys for breakfast. They are excellent! Reading through the comments, It was really encouraging to see that I am not the only one in the club cooking for one. It was also VERY encouraging to see the various substitutes that are allowed. It will take me awhile to transition my pantry over to all these “exotic” foods but I intend to follow the recipes with what I have on hand so at least I get used to that part of it. “Grass fed butter?” never heard of it. How in the hades are you supposed to know if your beef is “grass fed” or “pastured”? It was really encouraging to see that I already have 4 of your forbidden foods on my “never eat” list. The only thing I have to let go of is my 100% cranberry juice that I really like. I think I’m going to like this lifestyle. 🙂
Hi, Kathleen. Those products are clearly labeled – no worries. You can find them in health-oriented stores such as Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe’s (you are right in between Lincoln and Omaha stores), online including at http://www.eatwild.com/products/nebraska.html, as well warehouse-type stores such as CostCo (you are between the Lincoln and La Vista stores).
Thanks for answering my question about uncured meats- I’m seeing a lot of them, now that I know to look! I’m still confused about the meal suggestion “poultry, ham”. Is this saying you can choose between poultry and ham?
Can I eat Johnsonville Brats – the original flavor? I don’t see any nitrates in them unless I am mis-reading the label. I nuke them for breakfast, giving the grease to my dogs on their kibble.
