Is this program breastfeeding friendly? Yes! Many breastfeeding Mom's have participated in the slim down and all have been able to lose weight without losing milk supply. Nancy recommends waiting 4-6 weeks post delivery for milk to come in and be well established before starting any diet program. Once milk has been established, the slim down is safe and very effective for breastfeeding Mom's. On page 9 of your digital download, you will find customization tips for breastfeeding Mom's.
I'm picky! Will I like these foods? This plan gives you the option to swap ingredients out with other options from the master menu if you don't like/can't eat something. There are no "weird" foods. It's all things you'd find in your local grocery store.
Can I do this plan if I am trying to get pregnant? You can! This plan is all real whole foods and is no risk to those trying to conceive. If any concerns, feel free to speak with your doctor.
Does the program include workouts?! The plan does not include a workout program, but it does have activity guidelines to let you know how much exercise you should be aiming for while on the Slim Down. Nancy will add a weekly workout for those who want more guidance on exactly what to do for activity to the private Facebook community throughout the 30 day challenge.
Is this plan vegan friendly? No. This is not a plan that can be easily tweaked for strict vegans.
Is this plan vegetarian friendly? Yes, totally! The plan does includes a bunch of non-meat protein choices such as organic tofu, eggs, vegan protein powder, and fish. Most meat substitutes are not allowed, but I do approve “Beyond Meat” to also use as a protein option on the plan. I have had many vegetarians do the plan and they easily sub out meat that is scheduled in meals for other protein approved options. They find that it’s an easy sub and still have lots of success on the plan.
Does this plan require a lot of prep and complex recipes? This plan includes simple recipes that can be made in 30 minutes or less. We provide meal prep sheets to help your prep be easy and straightforward. The recipes are quick and easy to follow and made with simple ingredients that you probably already own in your kitchen (with maybe a few new additions).
