MemberI AM NEW TO THIS PROGRAM AND WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION AS WELL!FROM MANY YEARS OF DIETING, I DO KNOW THAT PEACHES ARE ONE OF THE BEST AS WELL AS STRAWBERRIES. A SMALL APPLE IS ON THE FIRST WEEK’S PLAN FOR SNACKS.I BELIEVE FRESH PINEAPPLE IS ALSO NOT HIGH IN SUGAR. FRESH FRUIT, NOT CANNED AS THAT OFTEN HAS ADDED SUGAR.

MemberThanks for that Ossie-Sharon. Sorry to be a pain but your exchange wording of say breads 15g carb plus 1.5-3 g protein, does that mean say I can exchange a carb with part carb part protein or say part protein and carb for dairy ? don’t quite understand the exchange menu on your meal planner. Thanks

MemberHi, Goodlordknows. You can, but I would suggest to keep it simple if you don’t have organ failure – just focus on the carbs, as the rest is just an extra benefit.

MemberI have no explanation of “Exchanges!” Seems very complicated! Is there a link to how to use it?

MemberHi, Aimee. No worries – the system does it for you, even when you use the personal version of the Menu Planner (in which you select the foods you like). If you would like to hand-build your own menus with exchanges, the exchange system groups together foods that have roughly the same amounts of carbohydrate, fat and protein into “Exchange” groups, so that one may be exchanged for another and used as building blocks for meals (see our list here – http://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists).
You can see your allotted exchanges in your menu pattern, calculated according to your personal information, by clicking on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your finished menu.May 4, 2016 at 9:19 pm #35498Goodlordknows

MemberHi, seaguy. Watermelon is wonderful. Each cup (240 ml) is a fruit exchange.
