MemberShezzabell, if you have made a menu planner, every time you are given a fruit potion, hit the refresh button at the side, it give you a list of what other fruit option you can change for, i,e 1 apple or 2 plums or 2 tangerines or 1\2 banana. This list would probably be a good list to stick too I think, GOOD LUCK

MemberCongratulations to all those who have lost weight. Did not weigh myself for the last couple of days. Went to Goolwa (about an hour away) stayed overnight with friends, drank some more wine and had the most amazing walk along the beach and paddled in the waves. First exercise I have done cause I think I have broken my small toe and waiting for it to heal.
Seaborn and Jackiee, lovely to read your huge long updates. I don’t have time to write too much. Has anyone been watching the tennis in Melbourne?
Welcome to the newbies. It takes a few days before you can get sorted but you feel great so keep trying.
And the support here is tremendous!January 21, 2013 at 1:59 pm #6923awayagain4
MemberGood day fellow cruisers. It snowed all day yesterday in the Midlands and it’s snowing again today. Temperatures zero. Pranged the car on the way to visit Sainsbury’s for our weekly shop. Not a good start to the week. When I was looking at bread flour in the store I came across Stevia. That was useful. I intend making my own bread with wholemeal flour but the recipe asks for vitamin c powder. Anyone know where I can get that from?
I’ve just assembled a chicken casserole with lemon and tarragon sauce. I love casserole’s when the weather is freezing outside.
Jackiee – I’ve visited Italy a number of times in my travels – Tuscany, Naples, Sorrento, The Blue Lagoon, and the Italian lakes to name a few places. Our son was stationed near Naples with the Nato forces in the 1970s. We visited him a few times. It’s a beautiful country and one of my favourite holiday destinations.

MemberHi My husband and I are very new, only joined yesterday. We keep seeing SWG bread on the menus, have researched this online but where can you buy this in the UK,or is there an alternative. Any help would be much appreciated.

MemberHi, Yvonne. You can definitely find it at Whole Foods Market. Other sources include http://www.realfoods.co.uk/shop?Search=sprouted and http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-local/frameset/script/search.html?query=sprouted&snar=

MemberOSSIE — when we get off this diet (or while we are on it), are there any smoothies that would be healthy and within our energy, carb, fat and protein specifications? If so, can you post a few recipes, ingredients, etc, and tell us how many carb,s proteins, fats, to have in each one so we don’t get too much or not enough?

MemberHi Yvonnebaker here’s a link that helpful http://www.trimdownclub.com/where-to-buy-uk but in general have heard on here that whole grain, organic whole grain and ryecrispbread are a few good alternatives good luck.
Awayagain4 I can understand your love of italy, there hasn’t been a place I’ve been to here that I don’t love….i’m a lucky lady…ecpecially since we get a lot less snow here than the uk. Enjoy your casserole 😀

MemberOSSIE & JACKIEE:
Thank you Jackiee for your reply. I did just what you said but it didn’t stay in my history. As a matter of fact, my history says Jan 13th and I think I made out my first menu on Jan 6th, because I went to the store to get the groceries for it and started eating it on Jan 7th. What happened?January 21, 2013 at 3:16 pm #6930Ossie-Sharon
MemberHi, Chia. When you go into the Recipes area above, enter “shake” into the search box, and it will pull up all of the program’s shake recipes.
To count carbs, note that an exchange is an average piece of fruit or cup of fruit. A cup of non-fat milk is a protein. 4 tsps. of coconut milk is a fat.January 21, 2013 at 9:56 pm #6962montana63
MemberOssie – can I use Tyson chicken breast, pork chops, Costco pre made (fresh not frozen) big hamberger patties?

MemberWhen they give you a portion of cereal for breakfast or snack and don’t list milk…can you put milk on it??
January 22, 2013 at 12:14 am #6971CHIA
MemberOSSIE – there are no shakes.
Do you know why my new entries for a new menu won’t take? Also, my Jan 7th menu says it’s Jan 13. I did the correct step in saving and clicking on FINISH. Nothing happens.January 22, 2013 at 1:05 am #6975Carolinejk
MemberI think morrison’s do a spelt uncut loaf.

MemberGood morning all 😀 or evening or afternoon, Hope you are all well?
Chia- on the recipes page, have you checks the drinks before doing a search for shake – I tried and got 4 pages of recipes for them. I think you would need to contact technical support regarding your menu planner problem because I just check if mines would generate a new one. I can only think that you need to mae sure each section has a tick before hitting the finish, for previous menu’s maybe the technical support can help you.
Montana 63, sorry cereal is a grey areas for me, but if you had a yogurt portion you could you that or change it for milk, I always have porridge which always includes milk, Ossie should be able to clarify this soon.
weighed in today, only lost 1\2 kilo but it all counts, fingers crossed next week I can shift 1 kilo
Well all, busy day today and got to fit in a walk so keeping it short!!!! 😀 give you all less reading. Thinking of you all in UK with the snow, hope it get better soon. Happy healthy eating all 😀January 22, 2013 at 9:34 am #7001lisafab
MemberHi i joined the diet at the end of last week, went shopping yesterday but strugled to find swg bread and brown rice noodles.
i have ordered them on line now fom healthy supplies .co.uk.
Feeling excited as the diet is not the normal way i am used to.
Have starved myself in the past, and yes piled more weight back on every time.
This diet makes sence, so looking forward to the end of the week at the loss.
