Would you please let me know which "Ora Ida" or other brands that are o.k on this plan and how to prepare them without wasting the food?

According to these guidelines, grazing is encouraged. But I am sure there are many people on here who eat 3 meals a day and do completely fine.
Would love to hear your responses.

Thanks for this thread. I have some questions though :
1) What about home juiced carrots and beetroots ? Does this contravene the MWL ? What would be the daily restrictions ?
2) What dressing recepies are you using for your salad ?
Cheers
I have a lot of these same questions and feel best when I incorporate a lot of raw vegis, so things like carrots and beets get chipped up to be enjoyed in my large salad I have most evenings. Good time to chew a lot. Creates a lot of digestive enzymes. Beet is magic for the heart and blood system, From what I have learned. Love them cooked too. Raw I leave the covering on, cooked, I remove them if I cook them. I like to enjoy them every day. One of the dressings I enjoy is a squeezed 1/2 orange and a little squeezed lemon over my great salad. I like to put some cooked beans, sweet onions, a little avocado, and a few soaked nuts/seeds on it too. This is where I get some healthy fat. I have lost about 60 lbs from my top weight and about 40 in the last year, raw and now adding starches. My Dr. is a Mcdougall-er, so I am trying to be a good student. The main thing is to get enough fiber and probiotics to keep the insides working well. I am older and have a history of intestinal problems. This is why I am still having a large smoothie in the morning with 2 T chia seeds soaked and added to the smoothie, an apple, 1/2 lemon, lots of greens, and a big chunk of ginger.
I realize this is not a confessional, but my body is having a hard time going back to cooked starches. I am glad to have the starches to fill in from letting go of a lot of fruit that didn't agree with me either. Some things take time. Nice to have this forum to get ideas. Still losing weight, so I am trying to make it all work as I make the transition. I think I tried to go to fast and got pretty sick, so now I feel better, but had to go back to getting more fiber.
Someone's probably going to say I'm posting in the wrong thread, but this is about a healthy weight loss plan, so looking over that list, I see that I am well on my way. Anyone who is having trouble transitioning while trying to get on the MWL plan, let me know how it's going with you. Thanks, Lynn
