Hi, I am new to this program. Haven’t actually started yet, but I need help with the menu. When it says “Snacks 1” and “Snacks 2” do you eat ALL the items in that category or just 1?

Hello, I am new and would love some support.

Hi Yianoola, you eat everything in the snacks section.

I’m getting repetitions of one food in one meal, i.e., 1/2 potato plus home fries. Also have 2 carbs in one meal, i.e., rice plus potato. This does not seem wise? I can understand 2 veggies, but 2 carbs??

Hi, louannasbury. I am forwarding your query to tech support.

Hello, I am doing the 14 day diet. However I have just had surgery and I am not permitted to eat fatty food for one month. What should I take out of the diet and what can I replace it with?

Thanks

Is there a difference between a low cholesterol diet and a low fat diet?

[Ossie-Sharon]

Hi, Elefebvre. Yes – a low-cholesterol diet is low in saturated fat, but it is not necessarily low in all fat. With regard to your need for a low-fat diet, what you exchange for fat it with (proteins or carbohydrates) depends on other areas of your health. For what was the surgery? Are you a diabetic or pre-diabetic? Are you on medication? Kidney or liver problems? Other
In the meantime, a few suggestion:
1. Select low-fat and fat-free versions of dairy, and extra-lean meats or low-fat plant-based proteins.
2. In place of the fat and dessert exchanges that come up on your menu, swap in vegetables or fruits, depending on what you can tolerate. For spreads, choose jams, bean spreads, and low-fat/fat-free dairy.
3. For seasonings, choose herbs and spices instead of sauces, and vinegar and lemon instead of salad dressing.

Hi Ossie,
I just had my gal bladder removed but do not have any other health issues. I am supposed to avoid fat for 1 month. I presume I have to replace all the nut snacks with something. Thanks for your reply.

[Ossie-Sharon]

Hi, Elefebvre. Thanks for that information. Replacing the nut snacks is quite easy – crackers and low-fat cheese such as skim ricotta and pureed legumes can give you what you need there.

[Elefebvre]

Thank you.

I just joined and I don’t know where to start

[Ossie-Sharon]

Hi, Maaregurl. How are you doing? The easiest way is to read over the main Program Guide and Quick Start Guide (both in “My Downloads” above), and then get going with the Menu Planner (in “Apps”) above. Just ease into positive changes gradually, and the same with a physical fitness program. If you have any specific questions, please do repost here.

Does anyone know how to make SWG breads taste better? It is so dry! I kind of like the chewy texture, but there has to be a way to make it more enjoyable.

If you are making your own in the bread maker add a Tblsof molasses.(natural sugar.)
