Im struggling with the terms used in this eating plan. Has anyone any advice regarding this plan in the UK? Thank you
I’m from UK too. I joined on Saturday. I think the jist is little and often, no processed foods. Have you downloaded all the read ups? Jen
I’m from uk…and just getting started…..can someone tell me what measurement is a cup….referred to in the menus? I’m also having trouble with some foods, not in our usual diet here.
I have read in the topics that 240 ml which is nearly our 1/2 pint is the cup size. I’m going to measure 240 ml in one of my cups/mugs and use that as a guide Jean.
Welcome 🙂
I understand your concern about some of the foods we recommend being hard to find.Listening to our customers is the best way to improve what we’re doing. So, we would like to know exactly which foods you would like to see added to the Menu Planner and which foods are causing confusion. Your thought definitely counts!
Please keep in mind that the foods in our lists are actually collected from around the world (and available in the UK), but lesser known to many. They were selected because they are less mass-produced and therefore relatively unmanipulated and more nutritious and supportive of health and healthy weight management. I do encourage you to take advantage of our shopping guide http://www.trimdownclub.com/where-to-buy-UK; one of the sites, http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk, offers nice explanations of their foods. Regular supermarkets such as Tesco, Asda, and Waitrose are increasingly carrying these items as health-conscious consumers are increasingly requesting the; Holland and Barretts carries even more, of course, and Whole Foods Market even more.
I hope this information helps. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
To your success!
Hi Uk Friends
I am also from the Uk and have just joined. I was also wondering what a cup size was, thank Jen for the answer.
I am also from the UK and have been using a set of measuring cups that I happened to have which come in 1,1/2, 1/3, 1/4 cup sizes, which have been perfect. If you are near an Aldi (and who isn’t these days?!)they were selling ceramic cup sets on their sales shelf as recently as Friday 15th April. Mine originated from Boots.
Hope that helps any ‘cup’ issues!How is everyone getting on with the plan? i am still struggling with working full time and not getting back until late 🙁
