    I cant find alot of whole grain or vegan foods as i live in a very very small military town. We have one grocery store so i dont have alot of options. Will it change my diet drasticlly if i can only buy white pizza dough?

      Hi, Handsomesuny. Of course. In addition to fresh and canned fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds are a great choice for snacks that don’t require much effort. For “hot” entrees, there are healthy shelf-stable items available at health-oriented stores like Whole Foods Market or online through companies like ThriveLife (https://canada.thrivelife.com/) that you can just add hot water to or heat in the microwave. Try to avoid major brands, if you can, as those tend to have someone lower nutritional value. The advantage to the good ones is that you have portion control built in.

    I was hungry for a breakfast without so much sweetness. This was most satisfying! I used “Angelic” Super Shrink-ified SWG pizza/flatbread (from my local health food store), which simplified this recipe, and it was delicious! I didn’t have mushrooms, so I used saute’d zucchini slices, red bell pepper, and red onion, then added grape tomatoes sliced in half, black olives, grated grass-fed mozzarella, one scrambled egg, with salt, pepper, and dried basil and oregano for seasoning. This will be one of my “go-to” breakfast recipes.

    Can you tell me how many of each exchange I can have for each meal? If for example, I could have 2 carb, 1 protein and 1 fat exchange for breakfast,could i then just pick any combination of those exchanges and still be ok? Or do the amounts of exchanges change daily? Thanks

    I made this the other day and now I wonder why I waited so long. So easy to prepare. I did substitute the SWG crust with an 8″ SWG tortilla wrap. Problem is, with substituing, I wasn’t sure how much a single serving would be. I’m clueless trying to figure all this out. Was so darned good, I ate one half!

    Hi, Tkraft. Try using the full Menu Planner application (in “Apps” above) to build your menus, so that you can select the foods that work for you and avoid the ones that don’t. If you are interested in some recipes, try using the search function with words like “simple,” “basic,” “quick,” “classic,” “homemade,” etc.

    Hi I would like a less complicated breakfast. all I seem to be able to have is the breakfast pizza or the health veg quiche. I cant seem to be able to change. I’m finding this very complicated

  32. Ossie-Sharon

    Hi, Joan. You can make a smaller amount (click on “Fewer Servings” to see the adjusted ingredients). You can also repeat breakfasts or use the pizza for snacks.
    Another option is to substitute for the recipe with more flexible items, such as two slices of bread with a spread, or a bowl of cereal plus milk, with an egg or piece of cheese.

  34. Ossie-Sharon

    Hi, kk1424. You definitely don’t need to make this recipe or anything similarly complex. If you are using the Ready-to-Go menus, I suggest you switch to the full Menu Planner application (in “Apps” above) so that you can select the foods that go into your menus. The application comes with a tutorial, and if you need tech support, you can reach them through the “Contact Us” link below.

    Hi, LeoniaLloyd. You may prefer to have your menu built for you based on foods you select for each meal – the Menu Planner application is in “Apps” above, and there is a tutorial there if you want.
    If you are happy with the rest of the Ready-to-Go menu you received, then you can just follow the breakfast “pattern” appropriate for you (below) and put in foods that fit your lifestyle:
    2 carb exchanges (i.e. a bowl of cereal or 2 slices of bread)
    1 protein exchange (i.e. a glass of milk, ounce of cheese, or egg)
    1 fat exchange (i.e. teaspoon of butter)
    1 breakfast sweet exchange (i.e. 2 teaspoons of jam)
    You can see the full exchange list here – http://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists.

    Hi, MS. Yes, of course. Just be sure there are only whole natural ingredients in there. Example: Egg Whites, Whole Eggs, Less than 1%: Salt, Xanthan Gum, Artificial Color (Including Beta Carotene), Mixed Tocopherols (Antioxidant), Citric Acid, Sodium Hexametaphosphate. Vitamins and Minerals: Calcium Sulfate, Iron (Ferric Phosphate), Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol Acetate), Zinc Sulfate, Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B1 (Thiamine Mononitrate), Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride), Folic Acid, Biotin, Vitamin D3.

    Hi, bonniesrace. In the recipes section, you can type words in the search box that can lead you to the types of recipes you’re seeking. Words like “simple,” “basic,” “classic,” and “homemade” may help. Note that you don’t have to use the specific forms of the ingredients, but rather whatever you can find in that category. For example, if it calls for “quinoa flour,” you can use regular whole wheat flour, too (if you’re not gluten intolerant, of course); here, it calls for the healthiest eggs possible, but use whatever you can find, etc.

    It takes forever to read all the questions marks like next to fish. I have spent the past few days reading & now the recipes are made for 4-6 people. I am trying to find simple recipes that the ingredients can be found.

    Hi, Chris, and welcome. The best solution would be for you to use the full Menu Planner application so that you can choose which foods go into your menu. You can find it in “Apps” above – there is a video tutorial if you need it.

    I’m not much of a cook so is there a pre-made crust that will work for this recipe? Since it makes up to 8 servings and my plan calls for 1 serving per meal, will this keep in the refrigerator so I can reheat as needed?

  58. Ossie-Sharon

    Hi, Diana. You can make the dough in advance to speed things along. You can also have your own personal menu generated for you based on your food choices, and select items that are quicker to prepare. Just enter “Apps” above and click on “Menu Planner” – there is a video tutorial there, if you need it.

    Disappointed in that I live in a small town with no close health food stores. I am not able to purchase (price/distance) to where they can be purchased. Didn’t even find easily obtained foods on main list. These things would prevent me from following the plan.

  78. wendytrm

    What if it is only giving me the choice of this or the quiche and I would really rather not have a pizza for breakfast and don’t care for a quiche. Isn’t there anything else I could substitute this for.

  87. Ossie-Sharon

    Hi, Betty. First, as long as you use whole, unrefined, minimally processed foods, you don’t need to buy anything fancy. In this recipe, for example, you can just use regular whole grain flour. Second, you can find these items in the Medford area in health-oriented markets such as this http://www.healthfoodmartinc.com/, as well as online (you can refer to our shopping guide at http://www.trimdownclub.com/shopping-links-for-healthy-foods). Third, if you buy in bulk, you may find ways to limit your shopping bill. It is unfortunate that healthy foods can sometimes seem more expensive than processed, but it is an investment in your health, and you may very well end up saving money in medical expenses, etc.

    Hi, Carol. Yes, a replacement would be a whole grain muffin, but unless you make it yourself (generally best), be sure to read the ingredients label carefully to avoid excessive sugar and any trans-fats (hydrogenated oils, mono- or diglycerides – also known as E-471 and E-472).
    Regarding olives, they are a fat, so you can replace 10 with a similar amount of artichokes or sun-dried tomatoes in oil – or you can add lighter vegetables and have the fat (i.e. 1 teaspoon of oil or butter) somewhere else.
    The best cheese for you has less to do with the total fat content, and more to do with how the milk was “raised” – pastured is the very best for you, unless you try nut-based cheeses (vegan), which are the very, very best for both of your conditions. Naturally low-fat dairy cheeses tend to be those that are softer, like goat cheese and feta, or something like part-skim mozzarella. Try to avoid low-fat cheeses that are not naturally so – like Swiss and cheddar – because the additives may neutralize the benefits of the fat-removal.

    Hi, hfarm. When doctors say to lay off carbs, they generally mean to cut down, but not necessarily to give them up altogether; and the cutting down generally refers to refined “white” carbs and not high-fiber ones. This program is actually quite low in carbs, about 40-45% of energy, and discourages all refined foods. If you find a good-quality bread – such as 100% whole grain, sprouted grain, or Paleo – the toast will be fine, and if you don’t eat excessive amounts, you will still be “laying off” carbs.

  101. Ossie-Sharon

    Hi, Carol. Try toasting whole grain muffins, spreading pasta sauce on them, and topping with egg scrambled with mushrooms and finally some cheese – place in the microwave or under the broiler to let the cheese melt, and enjoy. That should take all of 15 minutes.

  104. Ossie-Sharon

    Hi, fatmiddlesister. If you prefer more traditional recipes, try doing a search here for “Basic,” Homemade,” “Simple,” and similar words. The point of the program is to upgrade the versions of foods you like rather than giving them up. In this particular recipe, several options are given. However, you don’t have to worry about getting the expensive staples – you will already benefit if you can eat whole, relatively unprocessed foods and employ portion control and a regular eating schedule.

    sprouted whole grain is SWG .. I believe there’s some recipes on here to make it yourself, if you can’t find it. The only SWG I found in my area was at a health store and it was called Ezekiel 4:9 bread. 🙂
