MemberAgreed on the difficult side…I have shopped, sparringly mind you, at a local organic grocery store and it is a checkbook killer!!, SWG, Vegan, organic don’t work for me… Is this program even possible for me?.

MemberHi to all. Tech development is working on the odd combinations issue, and hopefully you already see an improvement. Bonnie, you can find information about food combining in our Program Guide, which is available in “My Downloads” above. It is done automatically in the menus, and is really quite simple – carbohydrates should be accompanied by proteins or fats, an herbs and spices can enhance your efforts.

MemberHi, Jdtn1882. Don’t worry about anything that doesn’t suit you. We encourage the ideal, but it isn’t necessary for you to succeed – just do better than you did before, and try to use minimally processed foods as much as possible, and you will already be benefiting.

MemberSo far I’m pleased as the menus are made of of only food I SELECTED at the start. This is unheard of for us picky eaters. I do substitute a lot and have decreased some veg portions . I don’t pay attention to the pasteurized and cured as I want to succeed using the same foods my family eat but learn what’s cobinations I need . I asked at the butchers counter what non cured meat they had an was looked at like I had 3 heads. I’m using reg lean meat in lesser portions…… The big thing is I am exercising or walking 10 min 3 times a day to start and feel so much better. I Have 40 lbs to lose and have lost abt 5 after one week. Oddly my initiative is now coming from how good I feel mentally and physically and I know the weight loss will follow. A special note..using the sesame oil has improved my bowel sluggishness a lot. Thank you for that. I’d never have known had I not tried this plan. Good luck all. Let’s get er’ done , lol. At 65 I’m feeling 50 this week.

MemberI just joined and I find this confusing. My meal plan has salmon on it, I know I can change it, but isn’t there somewhere you can input your likes and dislikes? How about allergies? I’m allergic to shellfish. I’d like to be able to click on a dish in my plan and have it go to the recipe if there is one. I have so many windows open while trying to do things.

MemberHi, LaurieBeth, and welcome. It looks like you are using the Ready-to-Go menus, which are not very personalized. I encourage you to use the full Menu Planner application (in “Apps” above, comes with a tutorial) so that you can select the foods you want and avoid those that don’t work for you. You can get a someone filtered food list by indicating in your profile (bottom right corner) what major category of special diet you would like.
