    I am new but so far am very impressed with the whole site. I would like to know though if and when I can have tomatoes and is there a fruit juice that is recommended. Also is canola oil okay to cook with?

    Hi, gtaul. “SWG” stands for “sprouted whole grain”. You can read more about it here – http://www.trimdownclub.com/what-is-swg-bread/. You can find these products online and at the Whole Foods Market in Wichita.

    Hi, Marshhills. Absolutely – but do try to avoid cutting out fruits, vegetables, and dairy.

    Hi, little_j1998. The Menu Planner application absolutely will ensure all your nutritional needs will be met. No worries! 🙂

    Hi, phroberts17, and welcome! Canola oil is fine as long as it is organic – health-oriented stores like Whole Foods Market carry this. As for tomatoes, you can have them whenever a vegetable is noted (“Vegetables of Your Choice” appears several times in your menu).
    The best fruit juice is something you make at home from fresh fruit, and without added sugar – each 1/2 cup is a fruit serving.

    Question- On the menu planner can I start day one on the Thursday slot, or are the menus meant to be started on Monday? Because I want to start tomorrow?

    Hi, Marshhills. If you have been on restrictive diets in the past, it may take a few weeks for your body to get used to normal amounts of food again. Physical activity is the best way to give your metabolism a boost, and you can find guidance for this in “My Downloads”. If you feel you are getting too much food, you can cut back on your carbs by 50%, or on your carbs and meats by 25%.

    Hi, dfriedell. You can start with whichever day you like, repeat days or even whole weeks, whatever you like :).

    Hi, Marshhills. “MI” is usually an abbreviation for “myocardial infarction,” also known as a heart attack. In what context did you see it?

    Am new. 2nd week starting. I chose items I eat. But the menu planner keeps putting in things I won’t eat – like: mushrooms, sweet potatoes, brown rice, ricotta cheese and yogurt. Doing my best substituting. I can’t seem to eat all the times required. I used to eat 2 meals a day so am having trouble adjusting to 6. Any suggestions?
