Hi Folks,
I picked up the bodytrim DVDs from a garage sale and they didn't come with all the extra info which may have answered this question!
I know the BT program doesn't advocate dairy but 'tolerates' it... This is one stumbling block that won't really work for me! I would like to know how much dairy I'm allowed and whether there are substitutes... Namely, I have a coffee each morning but it's from a machine, so it's 1/3 coffee to 2/3rds milk... I make it myself so I know exactly what goes into it! So, if I use skim milk can I still have my morning coffee?? Or should I switch to soy will that be any better?
How about cheese? I picked up a block in the supermarket and was surprised to see it was mostly protein with almost a nil carb content... But I realise the fat content is much higher... So can we include cheese in our 'protein only' snacks if it's sparingly?
Finally, I'm not a massive fan of the chemically produced sugar substitutes. I would normally have a teaspoon of sugar in my coffee and apart from the occasional diet soft drink, really tried to avoid products with aspartame in them due to the whole carcinogen thing... My husband's Mum died as a result of cancer a few years ago, so it's a bit of a sticking point around here :-/
Are there any non-chemical sugar substitutes which would be acceptable under a low carb diet regime?
