Vegetable swap

[bigbumnannaParticipant]

I don’t like some of the vegetables in your recipes,could I swap them for a low starch alternative in the same list .Ie instead of spinach could I use cabbage or cauliflower without it compromising the weight loss.

I am vegetarian, no eggs but dairy is fine. I cannot see much options for my dinner

Hi there,

As far as our example recipes go there are a few suitable options:
Basil infused tofu bake
Baked Mediterranean vegetables with cottage cheese
Pepper mushrooms with chickpeas on rye
Vegetable and tofu curry
Red lentil & chickpea stew
Vegetarian cauliflower & chickpea curry
Baked stuffed eggplant
Indian lentil stew
Black bean soup
Lentil patties with mustard & vinegar dressing

Because you are vegetarian and do not eat eggs your choices for protein would be limited to:
Milk
Greek yoghurt
Soft cheeses i.e. Ricotta or cottage cheese
Hard cheeses
Legumes and beans (includes hummus)
Tofu
You could also try adding in a protein powder (whey or plant derived)

Kind Regards,

BT Nutritionist.

can I add fruit or vegetables to my shakes

Hi there,

You could add some non- starchy vegetables such as spinach if you wish.

Can you turn the meals around so you can have the main meal a lunch time and the shakes at breakfast dinner and super time

[BT NutritionistKeymaster]

Hi there,

We’re assuming you are in the first phase of the program (3 shakes and 1 meal a day)?

You could choose to have your meal at lunch time if you wish. You might be better off having your final shake of the day at dinner time though rather than having another one for supper.

So for example your day would look as follows:
Breakfast: Shake
Morning Tea: Shake (alternatively you could have this as an afternoon tea option)
Lunch: Protein meal
Dinner: Shake

Kind Regards,

BT Nutritionist 🙂
