---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Questions
Q. Exactly what do I eat?
You must eat one breakfast, one lunch and one main meal.
Q. How do I choose what breakfast, lunch or main meal I should have?
Each day you are given the following:

A choice of 2 breakfasts - one quick cook- one convenience


A choice of 3 lunches - one fast food - one take to work - one quick-cook
A choice of 3 dinners - one fast food/microwave - one 10-minutes-or-less quick-cook one cook-for-2-days.

You may choose whichever combination of meals that suits you best. For example, you may
choose the quick cook breakfast, the fast-food lunch and the cook-for-2-days dinner, or any
other combination of meals.
Q. How many calories do these meals contain?
Breakfast contains about 300 calories, lunch 400 and dinner about 400 calories each. Some
meals will be slightly less (a few slightly more) than the above figures. If your meal is less than
the above number of calories you may add the extra calories in snacks. If it's a little more, don't
worry: the small number of extra calories won't make any difference to your weight loss.
Q. What about snacks?
It depends on you. There is a wide variety of calorie-controlled snacks. Depending on how much
you want to lose, or how fast you want to lose it, you may increase your calorie intake
accordingly. This diet gives you the information (i.e. power) to make an informed choice. For
recommendations, click Snacks

Q. May I mix and match meals?


Yes. You may mix any breakfast with any lunch or any main meal. For example, if you wish you
can choose a breakfast from Day 1, a lunch from Day 5 and a dinner from Day 10 or any other
combination.
Q. Can I repeat a meal or a day?
Yes. No problem, you can repeat a meal or a full day as often as you like.
Q. Can I have the same breakfast every day?
Yes, if you wish, although we don't recommend it - you might easily get bored.
Q. What about fast food?
Frankly, no dietitian recommends fast food. However, the diet provides a range of fast food
options from a variety of fast food restaurants for you to choose from. For details, see Fast
Food Options
Q. What about serving sizes?
All menus include serving-sizes. For fruit, salad and vegetables, see the final section in the
Substitutes section.
Q. What about free foods?
For details, click Free Foods
Q. What if I want to substitute one food for another?
No problem. See the list of equivalent foods by clicking Substitutes
Q. What about Take-to-Work meals?
No problem. Choose one of the options from Take-to-Work Meals
Q. I'm a diabetic. Can I follow this diet?
Yes. As long as you follow your doctor's advice and choose low sugar brands.

Q. I can't drink milk. What do you suggest?


Choose an alternative from the dairy foods group in Substitutes
Q. I don't like yogurt, what can I have instead?
Choose an alternative from the dairy foods group in Substitutes

Q. I don't like fish, what can I have instead?


Choose an alternative from the meat/meat-substitutes group in Substitutes
Q. I'm a vegetarian. Can I follow this diet?
Yes - it's easy to adapt if you eat milk and eggs. You can choose vegetarian alternatives from
the meat/meat-substitutes group in Substitutes
Q. I don't eat breakfast, what should I do?
Change your habits! Eating breakfast is one of the common habits of successful weight-losers. If
you can't, try to eat it as soon as possible after getting up.
Q. I don't really like vegetables, what can I have instead?
More salad or try making your own vegetable soup and add a little chicken broth for flavor.
Vegetables don't have a big direct effect on weight loss, but their indirect effect is significant.
They are VERY important for keeping your body working efficiently - and the more efficient your
body, the faster your weight loss.
Q. I adore cream in my coffee. Can I at least use half & half?
Yes. A tsp of half & half contains 0.7g fat and about 7 calories. So it's fine. The same goes for 1
tsp of any 'Lite' coffee lightener, e.g. Carnation Lite Coffee Mate or any other brand that has 10
calories or less per tsp.
Q. Can I eat popcorn as a snack?
Yes. 1 cup, air-popped popcorn contains 30 calories and makes a great snack.
Q. Can I eat honey?
Yes. If you wish, you may add a tsp of honey to your cereal or use it on your bread instead of
jelly/jam. 1 tsp honey contains 21 calories; 1 tbsp contains 64 calories.
Q. Can I eat fat-free mayo?
Yes, if you are careful. Not all fat-free mayonnaise is low calorie. Look for a brand that has no
more than 15 calories per tablespoon, like Kraft free or Miracle Whip.
Q. Can I drink buttermilk?
Low-fat buttermilk contains between 2-4g fat and 120 calories per cup compared with regular
fat-free milk which contains 0g fat and 90 calories per cup. Switching to fat-free milk is an easy
way to both reduce your fat and your calorie intake without reducing the quantity of milk you
use.
Q. Does dried fruit count as fruit?
Yes and No. For details, see the fruit section in Substitutes
Q. I adore avocados. Do they count as vegetables?
No. Even though the fat in avocados is mostly 'good' monounsaturated fat it is too high in
calories (160 calories and 15g fat per half) to include as a vegetable in your diet. But you may
eat avocados as a protein substitute. See Meat/Protein in Substitutes
Q. I do 12-hour shifts. How can I adapt your diet to my situation?
If you can't break up your meals and take them with you, use the Take-to-Work Options or
make up your calories by using options from Snacks

Q. Can I use Cool Whip on my fruit?


Yes, Cool Whip is fine. Use 1 tbsp of the 'Light' version which has 8 calories per tbsp or any
whipped topping with 10 calories or less, per tbsp.
Q. What about sugar and salt?
Our main source of sugar and salt is processed food, so choose fresh and unprocessed foods
whenever possible. When buying processed food, choose reduced-sugar and reduced-sodium
brands whenever you can. In addition, be careful when adding sugar and salt to your food and
drink. We consume far too much of both, so use sparingly.
Note: If you suffer from diabetes, you should take a few extra precautions regarding sugar and
processed foods:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Choose sugar-free jelly/jam


Choose sugar-free or reduced-sugar canned food (e.g. baked beans)
Choose bran-based or whole-wheat cereal.
Choose wholemeal bread, brown rice and whole-wheat pasta, not white varieties.
Ideally, drink water or sugar-free soft drinks only.
