Hello, Welcome to the Bon Appétit Diet! My name is Gisa, and I am your community manager. This forum thread is for everyone starting the program this coming Monday. It's where you can introduce yourself, meet new friends in the diet, and to support one another in trying times. To succeed and reach your goals, I want you to follow the steps below. It only takes 5 minutes of your day to make a lifetime improvement for your well-being. 1. Read your session for the day and watch the video of the coach 2. Ask a question to the team of dietitians (click on "Tools" in the left column, and then "Personal Questions") 3. Take the time to refer to your shopping list and meal plans. Finally, if you have any questions about the website, you can always call us at (02) 491 7676 Monday-Friday, 9 am-5 pm. Good luck to you all. And so it begins! | ||

@ iamjing: Welcome to the Bon Appetit Diet! I made a forum topic for all February 18 newbies. Please continue the discussion here: http://bon-appetit-diet.belletoday.com.ph/centralized/forum/topic?topicid=124796
You are free to substitute the vegetables in your meal plan with the ones you prefer to eat. For the recommended amounts, refer to the List of Food Equivalences in the Bonus.
I hope that you will also use this opportunity to try other veggies and cook to explore new dishes. I am challenging you to change your eating habits if you really want positive results. You have to step out of your comfort zone.
Better to stick with Dr. Cohen's recommendation of 1200 kcal for you :)

Hi everyone,
I just started today (Feb 11, 2013). I'm really determined to lose my excess weight. My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for quite some time now. I was advised by my OB that losing weight will help increase my chances of conceiving. Aside from wanting to get pregnant, I want to lose weight for my overall health. I did not expect that shopping for the ingredients would be challenging. How did you do it guys? :) My husband and I have thought of ways on how we can make it easier. What I learned from that experience is that I really have to sit down and write down my meal plans and check the recipes. Check for alternatives.
I wish everyone goodluck on our journey to fitness!
