The first block of weight to be lost typically consists of body fat, water weight, or both combined.

- What if I have high cholesterol?
-
Cholesterol has been put down throughout the years as being especially evil. The truth is that cholesterol is only damaging when the soft waxy substance becomes thick and builds a hard coating on the arterial walls causing heart complications and disease. The Fresh Diet creates balanced meals that steer clear of cholesterol-hardening carbohydrates thereby helping you lose weight and decrease unhealthy cholesterol levels.
- Can The Fresh Diet help diabetes?
-
The Fresh Diet Program is not only a weight maintenance program, but an overall health and wellness program. It is an excellent solution for people who suffer from Type II diabetes. The number of Americans suffering from Type II diabetes and other conditions such as hypertension, high triglycerides and low HDL's is sky-rocketing. The Fresh Diet is the only program that targets the correction of insulin levels. People that suffer from Type I diabetes also find The Fresh Diet program beneficial. We encourage you to consult with your doctor to see if this program is suitable for you.
- What if I am pregnant or nursing?
-
Doctors usually recommend that nursing mothers and pregnant women maintain a well balanced diet and that they eat approximately 25%-30% more than usual. The Fresh Diet will make any adjustments to eliminate gassy or difficult to digest foods from your program while you are nursing or pregnant. Speak to your Personal Concierge about making the necessary arrangements.
- Can I drink alcohol?
-
This is your diet decision. Alcohol is derived from grains that are full of high-sugared carbohydrates and can therefore increase your insulin levels and deflate your weight-loss efforts. A 4 oz. glass of wine or a 1.5 oz shot of liquor represents one block of carbohydrates. If you consume 4 blocks (36-40 grams) of carbohydrates at a meal, you would need to eat one block less for each drink. Research results regarding alcohol and diet vary. Some studies show that alcohol can cause aging, breast cancer, and can be toxic to our cells. Other tests show alcohol to be beneficial to the heart and general health. We recommend that you always drink in moderation and treat your body right
- What attitude should I have towards food?
-
Think of food as your prescription for feeling healthy. It is important to take medicine at the right time each day. Set a date with your food and plan accordingly. A nutritious Fresh Diet meal should keep you energized for 4-5 hours before hunger cravings return. A snack will be able to hold your cravings off for about 2 hours. When you don't feel hungry, your body is beginning to lose body F.A.T. - frustration, anxiety and tension! Keep at it!
- Should I eat three meals and two snacks even if I am not hungry?
-
Yes! Because of the adjustments to your eating habits, missing meals or snacks may confuse your body and cause you to crave food at odd times. Having a suppressed appetite is a good sign as it shows that you are losing body fat and moving into "The Zone."
- Should I eat before working out?
-
Definitely! If you eat a Fresh Diet snack 30 minutes before heading to the gym, you are guaranteeing increased energy and the hormonal benefits of being in The Zone. Cardio and aerobic exercise will reduce your body's insulin levels resulting in a thinner and trimmer you! Muscles work harder than fat. If the number on the scale isn't moving, do not fret! The Fresh Diet recommends some form of exercise while on the program to increase weight loss results. Avoid any injuries by starting slow and easy and gradually building up the workout regimen.
- Isn’t having 30% fat in my diet too much?
-
One of the biggest medical myths of our time is that all fatty foods are destructive to our health. The fact is that hydrogenated and saturated fats are considered "bad fats," while monounsaturated fats are considered "good fats" and are beneficial to our overall health. Good fat can slow down the entry of carbohydrates entering the blood stream and maintain your hormones so you know when to stop eating. The Fresh Diet provides you with the right amount of good fat in each meal. A fat-free diet is not the solution to weight loss and fat-free products tend to have high amounts of sugar.
- Is it okay to eat rice, bagels, or pasta?
-
Of course it is! The Fresh Diet does not believe in deprivation so we do not exclude any type of food from your program. We do recommend choosing carbohydrates such as fruits and vegetables over crackers, chips, and breads as they are full of energy-increasing minerals, nutrients, and vitamins. Carbohydrates such as pasta, rice, and bagels have more sugar in them than fruits and vegetables so when choosing grain based foods try to eat only small portions.
- What can I drink?
-
Water! Agua! H2O! The Fresh Diet believes in water hydration as the very best choice for thirst-quenching. When you begin to burn fat on this diet you may at times become dehydrated. Sometimes people suffer constipation if they do not drink enough water. Avoid drinking sodas, juices, and other sugar-filled liquids. You can wean yourself off juices by drinking sparkling or flavored water. You can retrain your taste buds to crave water the same way you reprogram the way you view food.
- Should I drink milk for beneficial calcium?
-
What is good for a 300 lb calf may not be as good for humans! A large portion of the population is lactose-intolerant making it extremely difficult to digest milk and milk-based products. Milk is therefore an impractical source of calcium for regular heartbeat maintenance, nerve impulse transmission, and strong teeth and bones. You can find calcium in leafy green vegetables, and The Fresh Diet will make sure you are provided with this helpful mineral in your meals.
- What if I am on medication?
-
Consult with your doctor before making any drastic changes to your diet. You may be advised to lower dosages of medications to aid in your weight-loss programs. Some medicines can increase your body's insulin levels and void your weight-loss program entirely. We recommend that you never make any changes in your diet or medicines without speaking to your doctor beforehand.
- Will I gain weight back once I complete the program?
-
The Fresh Diet recognizes that the majority of yo-yo diets on the market cause people to gain even more than they lost once they stop dieting. The Fresh Diet is a complete lifestyle program that can help you reprogram the way you eat and transform the way you look at food. Food will become your friend instead of your enemy. We encourage Fresh Diet clients to notice the meal portions and food groups that are delivered each day. Once you are off the program, use the "eyeball method" to choose your food wisely.
- What if I am going out of town & want the delivery to a different address
-
Please call us for all address changes. If we deliver to the area you are traveling to we can deliver to you while you are on the road.
