baby. That is why we always recommend that pregnant/nursing mothers consult
with their doctor and follow his/her nutritional advice. Q. Will heating the Meal Replacement Protein Shake destroy any of its nutrients? A. Heating the Meal Replacement Protein Shake will destroy some of the nutrients, especially vitamin C, if heated to a high temperature.

Doctors Diet also has almost twice the amount of calories per serving as GR2 Control Meal Replacement Shake. Q. Ive never heard of Acesulfame-K, is it safe? A. Absolutely! Acesulfame-K (Acesulfame-Potassium or Ace-K) is an inert,

more than two decades worth of safety testing and clinical trials in laboratories
around the world. Q. What if I suffer from hypoglycemia - can I use the program? A.

If you are on medication for hypoglycemia, you should consult with your doctor before using the GR2 Control Weight Loss Program. Q. What if I have Type I or Type II diabetes? A. The GR2 Control Weight Loss Program was formulated using knowledge gained
from diabetic diets. For those who are non-insulin dependent (Type II
diabetes), GR2 Control is an excellent program to help keep blood sugar
in control. Q. Can I use the program if I have thyroid problems? A. Yes, you can! Although many people with hypo/hyperthyroid conditions do not need to lose weight, those who do can use GR2 Control and enjoy all the benefits our program has to offer. Q.

Besides
tofu, vegetarians can make stews prepared with low glycemic index grains,

such as lentils, beans (pinto, red, black, kidney, white), peas (split,
black-eyed), and chickpeas not only have a low glycemic index, but also
add lots of protein to the diet. Tempeh and milk products are also excellent
sources of protein and calcium. Plus, ovo- vegetarians can consume eggs
as part of their meals. Q. Some of us are losing weight very slowly, counter to the claims and testimonies. Would a loss of six pounds and 1-2 inches in 2 weeks be normal? A. Actually thats very good! Keep in mind that weight loss rates will vary, as they are dependent on many different factors. For example, people who dont have as much weight to lose may take off the pounds slower than someone with more to lose may. And, some people may be sticking with the plan, while others might be altering it to suit their own preferences. Those that stick to the plan as outlined in the Success Guide will experience results faster than those who dont. However, we can assure you that someone who has lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks is definitely on the road to success! Q. Is it true that the Enjoy/Avoid guide is only for dinner? Can any substitutions be made for the mini-meals, or will more suggestions be added later? A. The Enjoy/Avoid booklet is designed to help the user in several ways.
Primarily, the booklet helps GR2 Control participants pick items for their
main meal. Additionally, the Enjoy/Avoid booklet provides guidelines for
meal choices when a GR2 Control shake is not available, like at a party
or when dining out. And lastly, the booklet helps the user to make wise
food choices when at the supermarket. By using the guide in these circumstances,
the participant can choose foods that are both nutritious and are part
of the program. Finally, the booklet gives food choices for those that
have met their weight loss goals and are now in a maintenance phase. Q. Should breads be checked for sugar content? Is there an allowable range, since most have some sweetener in them? What about oils? A. If a GR2 Control participant is choosing breads based on the Enjoy list, the minor differences in oils or sugars will not make a difference in the overall program. However, if a participant has narrowed the choices down to two different breads, then go with the one that has fewer sugars or more fiber. Q. Are we to be watching the total grams of sugar in various products? Are sugar-free flavored yogurts allowed? A. Yes, sugar-free flavored yogurts are allowed, and are listed in the Enjoy/Avoid booklet under the Enjoy, Dairy, Other heading. Keep in mind that if one is choosing food choices based on the Enjoy list, then minor variations between brands will not negatively impact the program. GR2 Control is not a low carbohydrate program, thus the participants need carbohydrates for energy. Q. It would be helpful to have the serving sizes listed on the pages of the Enjoy/Avoid booklet. A. The
Enjoy/Avoid booklet was designed to be a pocket guide that could be taken
anywhere, easily. Because we do not have enough room on the pages of the
Enjoy/Avoid booklet to list serving size, we have given some examples
of serving sizes in the Success Guide, both on pages 17-19 (mini-meals)
and on page 22 (serving sizes in general). Additionally, serving size
is normally listed on the label for foods like cheeses, nuts, and legumes.
For fruits and vegetables, a 1/2 cup to 1 cup is usually recommended.
Fruits like apples and pears that can be eaten whole would be counted
as one serving. Q. When would one eat the sweets and treats listed in the Enjoy/Avoid booklet? A. Sweets and treats would be best eaten after the main meal, as a dessert.
