Can anyone help me – is english beef, grass fed beef?
Can I substitute fish I have never heard of for English sold fish and if so how can I found out what types can be swapped.
In general there are a lot of ingredients I have never heard of and checking with sainsburys today nor have they, is there an English menu alternative or shopping list? I have wanted to start this for a week now but cannot even get started as I don’t know what anything is?lisastarkey: Beef is beef .The main thing there is to get lean beef.
The same with fish.A variety is good. Try to stay away from fish that are farm fed and go more for the wild fish. The main thing with this plan is the variety of foods, the portions, and the 6 times a day to eat. My wife and I have both lost the pounds we were trying to lose and are now holding that weight. Don’t be afraid to get going on this plan.You will be delighted with the results.Hi,
I live in the UK like you and I can’t find the ingredients that we are supposed to use in the recipes. I live in a small rural area and trying to find ingredients is impossible. Have been online but things are so expensive (that is when you can find them) that I am struggling too, also i don’t understand the american terminology for some of these items. There is no way I can buy raw milk in this country.If you find any of these items please let me knowHi, Channybobo. Don’t worry to much – just buy fresh, whole, unprocessed foods, and you will be benefiting from a major principle of the program.
yes i to have the same problem with these menus can anyone tell me what brown rice pasta is please and is there an english menu to pick from i am beging to think that i have made a mastake to join this diet plan
What is Quinoa, please? I, too, am having difficulty with American foods – unobtainable in my area. What is a cup measurement?
In reply to Maureen – I take it you are in the UK. You can get quinoa in Waitrose/Tescos/Asda/Morrisions or in a health food store. It will only be in the larger stores I suspect though.
Channybobo – I had never heard of raw milk either but it is milk that it is unpasteurised. It is actually illegal in Scotland but it is ok in England. I wouldn’t bother about the label “raw milk”. Normal milk is ok as long as you do not have the full fat milk if you are trying to lose weight.
I also have had a bit of trouble accessing a lot of the ingrediants .I found waitrose supermarket have a lot of whole meal products and the only supermarket to stock rice milk . I also buy organic meat & vegetables where possible . I do struggle with the menus not really to my taste so ijust adapt ingrediants & portions sizes to my recipes lost 5 pounds on my 1st week . so will stick at . also our health food shops do stock a lot of products sometimes a bit pricey.
Hi all, I live in London so you would think I would be able to get the ingredients more easily than those of you who are in other areas of UK, but I’m still having trouble. Most things I have found are in health food shops for exaple I have been eating quinoa for years, but things like SWG bread are hard to find. I think we just have to ytake what we can from the plan, and find suitable alternatives where we can’t.
SharonI have had to goggle things quite often to find out what they are eg cilantro is coriander. I made oat flour by putting oats through the food processor. I use a milk from Sainsbury’s which is pasteurised but not homogenised and is so creamy and gorgeous! I also got hard cheese from Sainsbury’s which is made with unpasteurized milk (grated Parmigiano Reggiano D.O.P. I use Tate & Lyle Light at Heart which is a mix of white sugar and Stevia. I have not found Stevia syrup but I assume it is very sweet so I had some honey in the cupboard and used it instead. I have been getting most of my stuff from Tesco, though and get it delivered which means I am not tempted to buy anything that I don’t really need. It took me a while to get the hang of the menu planning but I can now get it to produce a reasonable combination of foods for me most days. I live alone and make stuff in batches and freeze it. I just tweak the recipes a bit if I don’t have the exact ingredients.
Regarding the grass fed beef, this might be of interest
