Hi, krakenmama. There is definitely a period of adjustment – as you may have seen some others felt as you do now. It does get easier. A sandwich won’t make you gain weight if the rest of your meals are in balance, and if you take easy, portable snacks (nuts, fruit, vegetables, crackers and cheese, or even shakes or soups in thermoses), it can work. Just make small changes gradually. Again, if you would like help finding the foods, just let me know where you live, and I will send you some links.
Hi, Sharon Thanks for offer of finding source of foods which I find difficult also some foods do not have the English names but the American ones so I don’t know what they are so any help would be great. I live in Darlington, Co Durham England
Hi, Carol50. Whole Foods Market is an excellent source of these foods, and you can find them online at http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk, where you can also read a little about them.
The following is a link to some UK shopping resources http://www.trimdownclub.com/where-to-buy-UK/.I’m a simple kind of person and am having trouble with finding things things to eat. I live in a mid-west, rural area, where there are no gourmet grocery stores to shop at and have only a small section of produce labeled as “organic”. I would like to see more recipes that only have 3 ingredients (that I’ve heard of) and as few of steps to prepare them. Thanks for any suggestions.
Hi, watkinslj. Try the recipes with “Classic,” “Simple,” “Homemade,” or “Basic” in the title.
Beyond that, try your nearest WalMart or Costco for some of the ingredients.Hello All, I too am having trouble with the meal planners, I work from 6am to 5.45pm, and am not home to cook all these small meals, I cook once a day in the evenings… I have a quick breakfast of cereal in the mornings, then when I am in the office between 9 & 2 it’s something easy that i can eat at my desk… Then I have to wait until i arrive home at 6pm to cook some dinner…
Hi, jlawrence4436. You don’t have to cook all the meals. Note that there are foods in the lists that can be eating largely as is, and don’t take much time. Examples include fruits, vegetables, yogurt, breads with spreads, cheese, or cold cuts, etc. If you are on-the-go, you can put shakes or soups into thermoses – see our recipes for ideas.
If you will read “getting started ” in the SBS forum under the little palm tree… it will really help you with the menu planner!!! 😛
I can’t seem to find my Menu History! Every time I go to the Menu Planner I have to generate a new week’s worth of menus! I don’t have to pick the foods again as my choices are all saved, but in the info it says I should have a way to see my past menus and I don’t see a way to get to them. I don’t want to have to print it out. Can someone help?
