Just can’t seem to find SWG bread, people look at me like I am from outer space when I ask them for it ??????????
Hi, kydano. Try health-oriented stores, such as Whole Foods Market and Trader Joes. If all else fails, 100% whole grain bread is just fine.
Good news! I found ezekial bread. Found it in Krogers in the health food section. FYI, I really like it toasted. Hope it helps but seems like things are coming together so I can get this started.
hi SHARON. i have just joined the TRIMDOWN PROG and am lost as i cannot seen to find vegan / gluterfree recipes or plan to follow!
Hi, Arvinda. When you first enter the Menu Planner, you’ll see an introductory letter. When you click on the button to continue, you will see a list of dietary paths – there you can select both gluten-free and vegetarian (egg and dairy products will show up, but you can ignore these; you menu pattern will be adjusted to reflect vegan nutrition).
Our recipes are not labeled as to which dietary path they fit. Most of the recipes are gluten-free, and there are many, many vegan recipes. The easiest way to find these is to enter a search term, such as “vegan” or “lentils,” depending on what you are seeking – side dishes tend to be more reliably vegan, and many of the recipes that appear to be non-vegan have vegan options tucked inside (see example here http://www.trimdownclub.com/recipe/homemade-graham-crackers/).I am just starting into this program and I am confused as to the calorie content of the days menu’s It doesn’t really give you what you should eat at a meal and it doesn’t go by your height and weight. Considering this I am sure a 5’6″ woman who weighs 150 lbs could loose weight with this program but what about a 5’1″ female who weighs 105 and wants to loose a few lbs and learn how to eat healthy and stay at 102.
Hi, Kinsey, and welcome. The program does not use calories, but rather is set up to meet your nutritional needs based on your BMI (which takes into account your height and weight) and weight goal (loss vs. maintenance).
Have you started using your menus?hello,
just a question, if in the menu there is fish and I would like to change it for lentils or pulses, how much quantity of lentils I will need? For example the following lunch:
90 grams of Squid•2/3 cup of Rice, Basmati, Brown (Cooked)•1 serving of Vegetables of Your Choice•1 tsp of Olive Oil
Hi, sanaydelgada. To match the protein in 90 grams of squid would take about 3/4 cup cooked lentils. Note however, that this amount comes with 10 grams more of available carbohydrates (if you are a diabetic and have challenges with control, I would suggest to reduce the rice amount to 1/2 cup for the same meal – otherwise, don’t worry).
Question: I would like to bake the Quinoa Carrot patties rather than frying them. Does anyone have experience with this?
Hi, backerman. Try this: Bake at 400F, turning once, until the patties are lightly browned on both sides (about 22-26 minutes).
I am confused about wheat. I have been eating Ezekiel bread, english muffins, etc. and just realized they have wheat in them. It says Organic Sprouted Wheat on the ingredients list. Also, I made the mistake of buying Bulgur forgetting that it was wheat too. Are any of these ok to eat? I don’t want refined/process grains. Thanks!
