Hi new to the club. Checking out the recipes & replacing food in the house with new plan items. I’m anxious to begin but still need to shop. This recipe I don’t like anchovies, so what should I use?
Hi, MaMaJIM4. You can use any fatty fish here – smoked salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel, tuna…
Hi, Lisavandam. If whole grain, sourdough is an excellent choice. Fermented foods in general are considered helpful in health and weight management.
I was surprised to see sourdough bread works with this trim down plan – ??
Hi, LiteSkin. This program does not work with calories, but rather with macronutrients. I can tell you that each slice of this particular recipe yields about 17-1/2 grams of carbohydrates, 16 grams of protein, and 12-1/2 grams of fat.
How many calories?
