MelissaParticipantI would like to know how alcohol fits into the program. I normally have 2 drinks a day. Sometimes chardoney and sometimes “rusty nail” (Scotch and drambui, which is a scotch lequer)

Ossie-SharonMemberAlcohol is processed in the body like fat, and a sugary drink is also counted as a sweet (carb).
For a rusty nail, assuming 1 jigger each of scotch and Drambuie (total 3 fl oz), that would come to 2 carbs and 4-5 fat exchanges.
The chardonnay is much lower in carbs and alcohol, and so the average 4 fl oz glass would be counted as 2 fats.October 13, 2012 at 4:49 am #2396

RobParticipantHello all, Very wet on Vancouver Island today, I have not posted so here I am. I am loosing weight for my children and grandson. My Doctor says my Colestrol is through the roof and my tri gliceroids sp? are as well. This was 1 mth ago. I have been on this diet and lost 25 lbs so far. It’s a education and I still have a lot to learn, Mostly eating Chicken and Fish, lots of salad and more salad.
No Bread, as little sugar as possible, NO Juices. Lots more water.
No more Diet Coke 🙁 Is anyone eating cottage cheese?
Now I am starting to exercise and the combination with the lifestyle change will take off another 30 lbs I hope 🙂
Good luck out there.October 25, 2012 at 1:15 am #2513

kwboundParticipantPlease tell me what SWG bread is. Thanks

Ossie-SharonMemberSWG stands for “sprouted whole grain”. In SWG products, the grain seeds have been allowed to sprout before milling, with makes them more digestible and the nutrients more available to the body.

younismoParticipantAlso, for the free vegetables list on this link: http://www.trimdownclub.com/free-vegetables; is it allowed to eat from them as much as you want for the entire day any time in the day? because I read this written at the bottom of the menu:
“Click Here for a list of fresh vegetables that are loaded with nutrients and can be eaten as much as you like.”Thank you.
