Hi Zoe, thanks for writing this book. I have been struggling with my weight now for about five years almost 50 and I have done many different diets. I was a personal trainer for curves fitness here in Ontario Canada but have since retired due to health problems. I have just finished phase 1 great start I must say moving on to the second phase, my question are… In your book you don’t say anything about sour cream or any kind of salad dressings other than oil and lemon juice, which is very tasty but if you go out to eat what do you suggest as an alternative ? And can I now have vinegar? Mustard would be great also it has no sugar in it. Can I put sour cream on my baked potato? Also in yor books (recipe). You don’t mention anything about soya sauces or similar. I am an avid label reader on just about everything I buy and there is a soya sauce here no name brand that has no sugar in it can I use this especially for stir fry’s? Also have you ever heard of walden farms products? They have so many fat free calorie free carb free products as they are made purely from triple distille d water no added or processed ingredients. One last question about carbs in phase 2. Now that we can have whole wheat bread, of course with no fat, can I have porridge with toast plain, or is this to much starch in one meal?? And what do you recommend having say a sandwich with other than meat or fat? Thank you for this diet as I will continue to spread it around to others like me who have long struggled. I will wait for your response.
Thank you
Carmen

Hi Zoe, I am on day 4 of the first 5. Did I make a mistake having boiled brown rice and peas with a tin of tuna in salt water?
Also are green beans / french beans low carb? If I cannot combine fat meals with carbs, what can I eat with my meat / fish / eggs?

Hi Linda – many thanks for your support. The books should be in Barnes & Nobel – best bet is probably amazon.com
Best wishes – Zoe

Hi Danielle – yes! “Stop Counting Calories & Start Losing Weight” has a daily plan for what we call “planners” – people who want it spelled out. There is also a table of foods to select from for people we call “flexis” – who want to plan their own meals
Hope this helps
Best wishes – Zoe

hi zoe i no this might be a stupid question but in the book do you do up a rough guide to a daily or weekly planner of wat to eat and what to put in each meal?

Hi Tracy – a couple of clarifications may help: 1) this is a Phase 3 recipe – so it’s for when you move on to ‘cheating’ but we still want people as close to real ingredients as possible when they cheat. 2) You will need a table spoon of sugar to stiffen the egg whites but you don’t need to add any sugar to the egg yolks (I also only put 85% cocoa chocolate bars in when I make it). I am very anti-sugar, but Phase 3 is trying to show people that you can have a seriously impressive dinner party dessert with each person ending up with little more than a pinch of sugar .
Hope this helps!
Best wishes – Zoe
