    Hi, I just joined and did the looked at the quick express 14 day and there is absolutely nothing there I would normally eat, nothing! Think I have made a mistake. It is all American foods and not like our Uk diet at all,Bit disappointed really

    Hi yes I have just joined as well from the UK and I felt just like you at first, but then today went through the lists again and with a bit of tweaking you can use the English alternatives, and just put in what you really like, you surely can’t be fussier than me, so don’t give up try again.

    I feel let down, I have been on other sites all turned out to be US sites, they spoke with a english accent on this site I feel conned, I did not choose a US site as we either don’t have a lot of the products they have or they call them by a different name which is no good to me

    awe, dont be discouraged! I am from USA and many of the items on the list were new to me as well. I even went to a health food shop & asked about items. It does take a bit to get going, but once you find your way around the menu items, I believe you will be happier – sure hope so! best wishes & hugs to you all, Tweety425

    I felt a little bit like the earlier posts but doing a little bit of research re: some of the ingredients I had never heard of I found that lots of them are sold in quite a few of our ‘mainstream’ supermarkets like Asda etc so don’t feel too disheartened – it will just take a little extra time to source stuff in the beginning 🙂

    Hi, If you have found some of the US products in UK shops can you please list them. We could then build a little UK based library and make it easier for all newbies. Thanks

    Hi, Keith. Note that most of the lesser known ingredients have the same names. A good place too look them up is http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk.
