    Hi, I’m new to this and I’ve spent the last few days tgrying to understand it all. I want to make a lasagne, i have butternut squash sheets instead of pasta, lean turkey mince, tomatoes, garlic and herbs. I need a sauce, i usually prepare my own cheese sauce but using white flour, which is a no on this diet. Can i use Quark with some xtra cheese on top such as mozarella, paramsan, mild chedder, goats cheese?

    Hi, Rachel. Your cheese blend sounds great – go for it!

    Hi Im new to this (day 1 tomorrow) and it has taken me an hour to organise my menu for next week in order to do my weekly shop tomorrow. Is it always going to take this long

    Hi, Daphne. Definitely NOT! Once you have the basic selections made, you can keep using them, or make minor adjustments whenever you want. The items in your cabinet will also gradually match the tone of your new menus, and you’ll just be replacing items when you shop.

    I need to be on a keto friendly diet for my diabetes. How can this work for me. I’m supposed to limit my carbs to 22 per day.

    Hi, gramsdale. To make your menu keto-compliant, access the subapplication of the Menu Planner by clicking on the circular arrow icon on the right side of each meal header. Once in that area, select foods of your choice to match the food group exchanges listed, but making the following substitutions:
    1. Two fats for each carbohydrate exchange
    2. Non-starchy vegetables instead of fruits, one exchange for one exchange
    3. No sweet exchange
    4. Talk to your health care provider about multivitamin/mineral and calcium supplements.
    You may find our sample menu helpful (http://www.trimdownclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/14-Day-Keto-Express-Meal-Plans.pdf). Note, however, that the portion sizes may differ from those needed to meet your nutritional needs – it is still best to refer to your menu pattern (visible by clicking on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your menu) and list of exchanges (http://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists).

    Hi – I just signed up and hit the “fast” option on the menu generator to see a sample. I have LS and Keto both checked in my settings, and it is def not a Keto diet. I wanted to switch to the more time intensive version of the 3 choices for the planner, but I can’t get back to that. When I click on the menu planner, it just keeps taking me to the already created one. I tried “new menu” and it just made another for me. I am def not going to adjust each item on each meal forever more, lol. Please tell me how to get back to the first 3 options for the meal planner.
    Thank you!!

    Hi I just joined, I clicked on the link for my favorite foods,nothing there for step 3 in getting started. I want to go shopping and get some things I’ll need for the week. I want to make this keto diet effective. I was hoping to see a list of foods I’d need to purchase

    Hi, I have completed my first 2 weeks of meal plan given to me. For wk 3 do I get a meal plan or have to make my own?

    Hi, Zydnia. Week 3 in the “8-Week Plan” has a link to your new menu, toward the middle of the page.

    I am a new member & I cannot find low fat milk OR eggs anywhere on the list. When I change cottage cheese it comes up with an egg. I like cereal for breakfast but without milk? Bread but no egg? IF either is on the list please tell me where.
