This question was posted from Pat:

Hi everyone, I am new here and am scheduled to start Julie's program on January 15th. I'm excited and am hoping she can help me lose my weight. Can you eat popcorn on her diet. Or peanut butter for protein.

Thanks. Pat

Congratulations Pat on your decision to change your life, which this program will help you do! You'll learn what foods you can and cannot eat during the weigh loss phase in your classes.

One of the things you'll learn early on is that you are going to change the way you eat. You won't want to return to the way you used to eat, because the way we used to eat is what made us overweight. If we go back to eating the way we used to, the weight is going to come back.

Most of us feel so good after a few weeks of being on program and feeling that good helps us stay away from foods we used to indulge or overeat. Julie empowers us with knowledge about foods and the tools to stay on program.

In answer to your questions... popcorn is not part of the program, although you will be able to eat popcorn when you are at your goal size in small amounts. Peanut butter is not on program; we don't eat nuts. Protein options are in the form of meats.

Best of luck to you with this journey!

You made the right decision. Don't look back. It is the first time on this healthy eating path that I know what to do and how to keep the loss of weight off. I feel in control,not deprived and very happy.I brought my big lady clothes to Goodwill and it was a great feeling.I only look ahead now and know it is a healthy journey.Good luck!

Dinner was filet mignon and green beans with garlic. I drank some kefir since he said we could have milk. I did eat 2 altoids out if habit. Hope I don't mess this up.

Congratulations Paula on your new journey! This is a learning process and you'll have lots of questions along the way.

I have a couple concerns about some of the items you ate that are not on program...

Coconut creamer - real milk is allowed (any percent), but soy is not on program.

I'm familiar with kefir, but I don't know if it's allowed. If Julie mentioned it in your group, then go for it.

Altoids are definitely not on program in any shape or form (with or without sugar.

Let go of what you may have done that is off program yesterday and today keep moving forward towards your goal size.

Thanks for sharing and asking questions. I look forward to hearing more from you along your journey.

Thanks for the encouragement Theresa. I've done well these part few days. There is no fat in the coconut creamer so I thought it would b better than milk. It is still tough with the urge for sugar. Do I blow my progress if I eat one lil chocolate. Will I stop losing ? I had beef and cabbage today. Pork meatball soup. Eggs. Kefir is loaded with probiotics it's like liquid yogurt. Keeping it to a minimum. Lots of water and lemon water so far.thanks again
