Hi, tdsmnyc. Free spreads refer either to free foods that are spreads, or not-free spreads that up to a certain amount can be free – free meaning not counted in your menu.
Thanks for the ideas. I printed up the list of food categories-proteins, carbs etc. How would I find out how many of each I should eat per day, and what time of day? I did add them up, but some are only half carb and half fat etc. If I know that, I can fit the diet to my lifestyle easier.
Hi, dianna. To find out how many of the main food groups (plus fruits and vegetables) to eat each day, click on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your finished menu in the Menu Planner. This can give you a snaphot of what to shoot for, and it can become second nature without spending too much time and energy calculating.
I am having a problem with my menus. They are getting a little boring. Each day is just a repeat of the day before. I filled out my preferences, but very few of them are coming up on my menus. I am creating my own by fitting in the food groups, but I need more variety. What can I do to make the menus more interesting. For instance I never see any cheese on these menus. I went out and purchased some creme cheese because it was on my first weeks menu and now it does not fit anywhere.
I am new to this site and I am not quite sure where to ask questions so forgive me if this is not the right forum. My questions is as follows: I am not a curry nor stevia fan, are there any subsitutes I can use for either of these products?
Hi, ralvarez723, and welcome. You have definitely come to the right place to ask questions! For more on recommended sweeteners (including alternatives to Stevia), you can read this article here: http://www.trimdownclub.com/the-best-way-to-sweeten-your-tea-2/. With regard to curry, herbs and spices in general are wonderful for your health (especially if fresh), so you really can’t go wrong – whatever tastes good. Assuming curry is being used in a southeast Asian dish, favorite alternatives include chili, basil, and garlic.
I have 50 lbs to lose, when I finish an 8 week plan what happens to continue as I will need more time than 2 months.
Hi Zitting,
You will be able to continue with the program. Remember, we don’t charge monthly fees 🙂
Hi, DDP22, and welcome! Just easy into it – it doesn’t have to happen all at once, just fine your way at your pace. Try joining one of the Groups (link above) – the most popular one is “Successful Beginnings,” but there are many others that may help. If you need technical assistance, you can reach tech support through the “Contact Us” link below.
