this one is good. Ive been on this program 6 weeks now and Ive lost 18 pounds.

Hi, MrsDude. That’s wonderful news! We wish you continued success, and are happy to help however we can.
Hi. Can I use chicken breast in place of the tuna and sub the water chestnuts with carrots? I couldn’t find a recipe for chicken salad.
Hi, Merisak. Absolutely! Those are great ideas.
This is my first day reviewing the program and I am excited to embark on this new journey. the menus seem easy to do. I exercise about 15 minutes five days a week and I try to eat healthy. So this program should simplify and enhance what I am already doing.

Hi, be4realok, and welcome! We with you tons of success here, and are happy to help in whatever way we can.
where is the list of proteins, fats etc…..?
Hi, Leslie. For each recipe, that information is at the bottom, just above the comments section. For foods in general, that information is here: http://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists.
Can we use pickles?
Hi, mcknights. Absolutely! Pickles are a “free” food here, meaning you don’t have to count them toward any of your food exchanges. If you are sensitive to salt/sodium, though, be sure to not to overdo.
Are we allowed a glass of red wine?
Hi, Eddytonie. Absolutely. In the personal version of the Menu Planner, you can select it from among the beverages in the “Carbohydrates” section.
what is the exchange for this recipe? It wasn’t listed.
Sounds good. I haven’t tried it yet.
Hi, Sherry. The exchanges have been added. You can, of course, have more than one serving.
Ahem this came up as vegan when I searched foe vegan recipes. Tuna or any kind of fish is NOT vegan. Neither is honey which also keeps cropping up in recipes coming up as vegan. Please amend how vegan search criteria work so the recipes are actually vegan.
Hi, Heni1. Sorry about the tuna – it came up because vegan yogurt is an alternative to mayonnaise. I have removed it.
As for the other issues, note that we make a distinction between “vegan” (100% vegan) and “vegan-friendly,” the latter meaning that we offer a vegan option in the recipe (for example, our “Rainbow Shish-Kebabs” were initially posted as a meat-based recipe, but inside are instructions for tempeh and tofu.
This one is okay.
I am not really fond this receipt… I had to modify the receipt to eat it..
This I would love
