Hi, Mellissab1. The easiest way to master it is to understand the exchange system, which is much like that used by diabetes and dietetics associations. To see the exchanges allotted to you, just click on the “Exchange View” button above your menu. Then you can just substitute another recipe in our collection that has exchanges similar to those in the dish you don’t want (it doesn’t have to be a perfect match), or substitute for something else – see the exchange lists here: http://www.trimdownclub.comm/exchange-lists. For example, you can just have two pieces of toast with a little butter plus an egg instead of the quiche or pizza.
There are certain foods that I just don’t ever purchase i.e., mussels. Can I remove these types of foods from my menu? If so, I would need to know how to do this. Thank you
Hi, Mariegrahamacracker. Of course! I would recommend to replace them with something from the same food group (e.g., fatty fish here, such as salmon).

Is there a special keto diet for type 2 diabetes. My sugarckevels tend to drop after two hours of taking my medication and I wat sugary things to bring it up
Hi, Oreo13. The keto diet is fundamentally very, very low in carbohydrates. It is often used by diabetics for that reason, but if your sugar levels tend to drop, you may do better with our regular low-carbohydrate route, which is a more flexible and balanced plan for diabetics.
Hello, I love switching my meats, one day fish, one day chicken, one day hamburger, and even steak on the menu I see a lot of eggs and fish can I switch them out?
Hello!
I’m starting the diet tomorrow. I’m the menu for the 8 week plan it’s only providing and option for the 3rd snack. Do I just select from option for that snack to determine the other two? Also, is there a time recommended to start eating, how long in between meals and when to stop?

• ¼ cup nuts or seeds of choice, + 1 cup fresh fruitAs far as time between meals, it depends on your comfort, though we do recommend finishing eating at least an hour before retiring for the night. If possible, it is also best to eat your meals at similar times each day.

So just following the menu options for the 8 week plan and eating the 3 snacks as listed is all I need to worry about to stay on plan? Along with water consumption of course and exercise.
