I actually took time to read absolutely all of the information provided for this plan, the cookbook, beginners guide, the 89 page trim down club plan & I realized there would not be so many of the same questions if ppl would just read the information provided. It’s VERY good & helpful in understanding how all this works!!!
On a side note I’ve made the coco pumpkin cookies, the cashew chicken wrap, & a few other breakfast things!! VERY GOOD!! My family is loving the food & I’m BLOWN away these are foods I can eat freely. So yummy & satisfying too 🙂 good luck everyone!!! This is the best plan I’ve ever found & I’ve done it all including weight lose surgery which didn’t work either. Glad I found something that makes sense!!
I have a qustion Do you have to eat all 6 plans I get to dinner and I am full can not seam to get the last snak in
I have a question: no where is pineapple mentioned. I know it contains a lot of sugar, but that is a natural sweet. It is also good for arthritis, I believe.
I really think the premise of this plan is so good and I’ve purchased many more veggies and fruits and am eliminating processed foods. I feel good. Have not weighed in yet. Here is my criticism: your recipes are questionable and should be more carefully thought out. Tried the healthy veggie quiche and it did not turn out. No where can I find SWG puff pastry – not even the health food store. Also, the combination of foods you suggest for meals is not always compatible: sardines and coconut? This program needs to be tweaked in order for it to be successful.
I’ve just joined your plan and while the foods recommended and the information provided makes sense for weight lose I’m having problems with the menu. Some of the daily menus don’t make sence to me. For instance, dinner on Monday has me preparing butterfly fish bake, cashew chicken wrap and white bean lemon kale soup. These all sound delicious but time consuming I normally would have the soup and one of the meat dishes. This is the case for several daily meals. I would feel better about this plan if the preparing of the meals meant not spending so much time in the kitchen. IE. I would not cook both fish and chicken for the one meal
I would suggest making either one of the fish or chicken dishes, but double the fish/chicken amount so you get all the protein the plan has alotted. As for the soup, you can just throw all the ingredients (even leaving out the oil) into the 4 cups of water, cover, and let cook until the vegetables are tender – no need to work too hard.
I have just purchased and admittedly havent read everything just yet. . All the information seems clear and makes sense (I’ve actually read a lot of it before in other weight loss books/plans), but here is my biggest concern: the foods seem to require a lot of specialty ingredients and time in the kitchen. I’m a working mom of two little ones who doesn’t enjoy cooking. The planning, shopping, prepping, cooking is always what gets me in these programs. Has any one found a SIMPLE way to follow these guidelines?
Hi, Joy. A couple of suggestions:
1. When you build your weekly menus through the Menu Planner application, don’t select any of the recipes (the hyperlinked foods) – this way, you can keep things simple. Many of the basic foods require minimum preparation – they can either be served raw or with simple cooking.
2. Similarly, each week try to select the minimum number of foods in each group, and go for some overlap to minimize your shipping list.
3. Try to select foods with which you are familiar, but we do encourage you to try a few new ones along the way. These are available at health-oriented stores, including large chains such as Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, New Leaf Market, etc.
4. When sticking with the familiar, just remember to choose the freshest and most unprocessed items.
Best of luck!I have just started this diet, and can honestly say I have not eaten so much. It does take a bit of working out as I seem at the moment to be eating fish got lunch and dinner, but I guess it takes time to get used to I. One thing I am not sure of is how much fruit you can eat as this is one thing I really do like.
