Hello:
I want to do this, I’m going to do this…I want to start things gradually (not per day – but by meal). Is there an easy way to list only the snacks and breakfasts (including shopping lists) from the menu planner. I’d add lunches in a little while then eventually dinners.Hi, Pat. Not at this time. I have forwarded your query to Tech Developoment, though. Thanks for the great idea!
my first hour here as member subscriber. My question is my holistic doctor and nutritionist have recommended 1500 calories. They recommended 50 gm protein, 50 gm fat, which will equal 690 calories. Remaining is 810 calories which will be as far as I presently know be from carbohydrates. This will be 200 gms carbohydrates. Total gms to fulfill this dietary need for 1500 calories will be 310 gms. This calculates to total a weight of 10.93 ounces per day of this nutrition. How can this possibly be correct? What am I missing. I love math and do lots of calculations so i can maintain what I think is correct for my nutrients etc. Thanks
Hi, My name is Sabrina. I have just joined the club, however I don’t see everyday recipes like pizza and chicken. Where are they? Was the sells pitch untrue? I don’t eat these everyday ,but I do eat them.
I’m also new to this program. For the last 2 years I have been drinking my breakfast in a form of a Smoothie with Almond Milk, spinach leaves, 1/2 frozen banana, 1/3 c. frozen blueberries, ground flaxseed and whey protein powder. I have lost a lot of weight, but now have reached menopause which has changed my body again. I don’t see any mention on the site about using protein powder. Should I give it up or is there a natural source I can use in my smoothies.
Hi, skinnybobm. Don’t forget about all the water (there is a lot more than you think – even in relatively dry foods), fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Hi, Elsabrina7. Have you checked out the online recipe section? We have many chicken recipes (just type “chicken” in the search box on the Recipes landing page), and are working now to add more pizza recipes.
Hi, susanj44. You are right – we do indeed recommend getting protein from natural sources. First, I would suggest to swap in kale instead of the spinach, which will already increase the protein. Second, instead of almond milk, try hemp (or organic soy, if you want some additional help with menopausal issues) milk if you wish to stay away from dairy – if not, dairy milk and concentrated sources such as Greek yogurt of course provide the most protein. The rest of your menu through the Menu Planner already provides a lot of fat, so you won’t be missing out.
Hi Trim Down Members-
I too am just starting and am so overwhelmed. Is there a buddy system available? I would so appreciate having a friend to chat with as I navigate this complete overhaul to my daily diet. Just a note; I am not a social media person so this is a stretch for me as I am not sure about the protocol on a forum like this. Thanks for listen. From fatty in Minnesota.Oh and to Sabrina. I agree where is the chicken and pizza and what happened to the sales pitch on avoid these 5 foods (fruit juice concentrate, margarine, non whole grain bread…okay I will and I can do that. Not I problem I get it? But the alternative is 5 olives, a half a cup of almond milk, a cup of coconut water and some chia seed. Really need some additional support. I know it will work and using the “Trim Down” term certainly “sustainable” but very difficult and not to mention expensive. But you can’t put a price on health.
If you join us in successful Beginnings and Support you will have all the support and encouragement you need. Here is something I know you will find useful. Good luck, Debbie
