September 10, 2014 at 7:36 amGreat question, Margaret! If you have not purchased the book yet, you will be so thrilled when you do. They have a LOT of great, legume-free recipes, and there are still plenty available around the web that would also work for a THM meal. I prefer to use legumes and grains to stretch our family meals, because they are inexpensive, but my husband also cannot eat them too much or often because of gut issues. All that to say, there are plenty of options for you too =0)

September 22, 2014 at 6:05 amOk, so remember the basics. Every time you switch from one fuel (fats) to another fuel (carbs…or vice versa), you need to give your body enough time to effectively work through one before starting on another in order to avoid excess fuel supply, which means it gets stored as fat. Generally, 3 hours is a sufficient span of time to allow this to happen. So, if you have an E lunch and want an S snack, you need to wait three hours in between. And then, if you are switching fuels again for dinner, another 3 hours. BUT, if keeping the fuel the same, it doesn’t matter if you have that length of time anymore. Once you are hungry again, eat. Here’s an example: E lunch at 12p, S snack at 3:15p (a few minutes to account for lunch’s ending time), E dinner at 6:30p (just to ensure 3 hrs between the snack’s end and the dinner’s start). But, some other options are: E lunch at 12p, FP snack at 2, Light S snack at 4p, S dinner at 6p (a FP provides a neutral meal without added fuel so if you are hungry, they are a great fall back. You can have the two S meals closer because they are the same fuel, fats); or, S lunch at 12p, S snack at 2p, FP snack at 4p, and E dinner at 6p. Does that help?
