New with questions

[sharlav5]

Hi all I signed up yesterday and have a couple questions. First, I read the free veggies list and was just wondering, are these I can eat anytime during the day even if they’re not on my menu??? Also, I usually drink iced green tea, an occasional pop, water, and chocolate milk. I also like to mix the propel zero packs with my water. My question is, is it ok to use the propel packs, and can I have chocolate milk with a meal? Thank you!!!!

Hi, Sharlav, and welcome. Yes, you can eat free vegetables any time you want, whether or not they are on your menu.
Propel Zero is not really consistent with the program recommendations because it contains artificial ingredients, including an artificial sweetener that has been shown in research to work against the body in weight management efforts, much like pop. Better to mix lemon juice and a natural non-carbohydrate sweetener with your water and get your vitamins from food, with or without a balanced, unflavored multinutrient supplement.

I am really concerned with the cost of this program. Is there anywhere that takes budget into account? I filled out the diet planner with the foods I know I can afford, but kept getting the message to add more protein. Today I added a bunch more proteins. Yea…a menu. I took the menu to the store. I can afford to eat 3 days. Why is it these programs use such expensive and fancy foods? I need help.

Hi, GrandmaSani. Don’t worry about it. If you just focus on fresh, whole, unprocessed foods and pay attention to portion sizes and food combinations, you will benefit from major principles of the program.
