I am kind of doing this program on my own - I am ordering my food online because I seem to find it waayyy cheaper. So, I can't remember a lot of the things from my old IP coach.
I know we are supposed to start exercising after a certain amount of time but, I can't remember when. Also, I find that Walden Farms products taste too processed. Does anyone know of any other brands of condiments, salad dressings, etc.?
Thanks!
Hello and welcome!
First off, about the exercise, NO. You are not to exercise on the program. I was told I can go for a walk when I want, but nothing strenuous. You do not consume enough calories for your body to handle it.
I agree with you on WF products. I can't stand most of them.
I use Heinz Reduced Sugar ketchup (1 carb, 5 cal per TBLSP) it's not 0/0/0 as it's supposed to be, but I am careful about portion size. I make a bbq sauce using that Ketchup too, so I have that.
And for salad dressing, my favorite is Good Seasons Italian dressing mix. (find it in almost any grocery store near the salad dressings) and what I do is make that up with just vinegar and water (leaving out the oil) and then when I want to mix it up some, I'll add different seasonings to it. Today it was Dijon mustard and a little Splenda for a sweet, honey mustard dressing.
