Hello Everyone, Welcome to the Bon Appétit Diet! My name is Laarni, your on-line dietitian and community manager as well. This forum thread is for everyone starting the program this coming Monday, 05/11/2012. In this forum I would like to hear from each of you as you first introduce yourself to the group and tell us more about your goals. This is also a really good way for you to meet new friends and to support one another when you feel like you’re moving slightly off course. Now in order for you to succeed, I would like you to do three (3) simple things. This should only take 5 minutes of your day. To make a lifetime commitment to your well-being, please: 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 all of you! | ||

@othelie: Yes :) Make sure that you are meeting the recommended food portions and the right calorie level, based on the personalization questionnaire you answered upon setting up your account!

Is it common to lose 2 pounds right away for the first two days?

@ tinAmidala: If you failed to follow the forst few days of the diet, I encourage you to write your food intake in your Weight Loss Journal so we can check. Of course, it will always be best to aim high on your first week, because it also affects your motivation level for the rest of the program. If you cannot follow your meals to the letter, make your own using the Structure for Custom Meals :)
@janey_bei: Good job! I'm glad that you are also having fun with the program. Bon Appetit!

I didn't have a good start on nov 12, coz I was out of town in the weekend and i haven't had the chance to go shopping for ingredients. i tried however , to make do of whatever there is and just try to limit it although some are not really healthy. :( hopefully I can go grocery already tom. If I'm not going to be successful in the first week, will it affect my goals of eating right and losing weight? Thanks!

@izzywizzyfizzie: You can take snacks in between meals! Just set aside some food items from your main meals as snacks, like fruits or a cup if yogurt :)
