Hi Ossie, Georgia again. I just make the Tomato and Okra dish and it is delicious. I made the full amount and put half of it in mason jars to seal and keep for later. What I would like to know is, if I want to take this in my lunch, what do I swap out? The recipe doesn’t say the nutritional value (unless I just don’t know where to look). Also, I would like to add it to my menu – I’m sure I read somewhere in these posts that this can be done but I can’t remember for sure. Can you help me?
Thanks, geoI have just solved my crunchy addiction with hardly any calories. Just take a rice paper the ones used for spring rolls and stick it in the microwave for about 30 seconds or 40 depends your microwave. It comes out bubbled and crunchy . it’s crunchy and enough for me . Try it
My first four weeks I lost 26 pounds. the next four weeks I lost
3 pounds and I doubled my work out. use menu planer and fallow exactly. getting a little troubled. any ideasHi, Herb. Did you update your profile with your new weight? If not, the system may be giving you too much.
If you did, then instead of just increasing your exercise, try switching the type, in order to work new muscles. Also, if you have any steady, non-intense types in your routine, try to break them up by inserting 30 or so seconds of intense exercise here and there (for example, if you like to take walks or use the treadmill, try adding a brief jog or run, or half a minute with an incline).A question about the amount of fruit I am finding confusing, when we go through the menu it chooses 2 fruits a day, but on the 14 day menu they have fruit 3-4 times, can someone tell me which it is. Still comming to terms with this new eating plan just need to understand it a little more.
thanks DeniseEmmafraud – the peanut butter cookies sound great- how do you incorporate something like that into the menu? what can it take the place of?
Hi, gsjones340. Most peanut butter cookies are about 1 fat + 1 carbohydrate exchange per ounce (30 grams).
Hi, gsjones340. Most peanut butter cookies are about 1 fat + 1 carbohydrate exchange per ounce (30 grams). Each half ounce (15 grams) is about 1 sweet.
Probably shouldn’t even be looking at peanut butter cookies yet as this is my first day, but thank you.
The snacks seem a little weird on my menu planner. This morning it was 1 oz of tuna, popcorn, and blueberries. Lunch was also tuna, so I just put that extra oz in with my lunch. My snack this afternoon was an English muffin and a vegetable of my choice. Should I just eat bread and English muffins plain and vegetables raw or is their some way to make this more interesting without going off plan?
Hi, gsjones. I will forward your note to tech support. The system is indeed designed to be sure you have a spread for your bread. I suggest having it with a source of protein, like an ounce of cheese.
I am also new to the plan, my snacks in my plan were the same as gsjones. Was wondering how to get hummus as a snack while at work
