I’m a little confused about using the forums. I get an email when someone posts to one that I have subscribed to but when I click on the link given me, I don’t see the post that was sent to me so I can respond to it.
Welcome Apensa…just click on the 1 and it will take you to the last posting in the forum….you will get used to it…lol.
Hi have only been on the trimdownclub for a few days and gained a lb more, it seem like a lot of food to eat . What am I doing wrong?
Hi, Janet. Have you been on diets before? Since many of these are based on too few calories, it could be that your metabolism has slowed. You can jump-start it with exercise, even 20 minutes/day.
In the meantime, if you wish to post your height, weight, age, and a sample day from your menu here, I can do a quick evaluation.Hi, R2B2. The program will be doing something like this in the near future. In the meantime, I can tell you the general percents of energy are 25-30% from fat, 45-50% from carbs, 20-30% from protein.
Hi, Lynn. “Quick cooking” oats are cut, rolled, and sometimes steamed – not the type of chemical-induced or depleting processing that is concerning. No worries!
Hi, Monz. Alcohol does add up, so it is recommended to make it a once-in-a-while thing. Dry red wine is a healthy options, and just a few fluid ounces at a time (half a regular wine glass). It is important that you enjoy life, so we don’t say “never”! See the program’s Quick Start Guide (in My Downloads above) section on beverages for a thorough explanation and some tips.
Regarding coffee, by itself it is considered a free beverage – though moderation is recommended for other reasons, and of course, organic is always best (nasty pesticides are used in most coffees). If you add sweetener, recommended options include natural Stevia, monk fruit, or xylitol. For a whitener, try to go as skim as possible.
Week two nearly completed, have not lost any weight so far this this week, but I feel good. My clothes are not tight, and I have energy. I am enjoying my half hour walk on the treadmill each night and have decided that this is my way forward because I can still be around the children, usually when they are in their rooms doing work, but they know I am in the house.
I think I may be eating too many carbs, but aim following the my plan. I must admit this is a generated plan where I do not have to cook anything too major as this is not my skill in life. My husband tends to cook, whilst I complete any school work and chat to to the kids.
Well, must head of to school and set the classroom up.
Enjoy your day folks, and those just joining, if it makes you feel this good changing what you eat, the weight lose is important, but the feeling gives you the motivation to get up and want to go. XxSorry LynM and Ossie….I am obviously wrong about the oats!!! My husband is a diabetic and we have been given the information from various sources that tradional oats (Uncle Toby’s) are better than the quick variety for low GI…I thought I knew!!! Will have to check why we have been told that! I don’t normally answer questions like that on here so I will continue to leave it to the experts…LOL!
For diabetics, yes whole oats are better – the less cut down, the better. Diabetics do indeed have additional considerations.
Good evening all.
I am a happy girl right now. I just did my fruit and vegetable order which I do online and the place I order from also does bread. And they have Sprouted Grain Bread. Yes its more expensive but hey healthy eating is the key and I am willing to pay a little more.
