Hi All,
I'm new to JC and I am wondering about these limited foods. My consultant said to eat limited foods if I"m hungry, but I look at the list and condiments or a quarter-cup of fruit aren't going to help my hunger. Can I use a laughing cow light wedge that is 35 calories as a limited food? What else can we use? Thanks in advance!!

i'm kind of new too, but I've read that laughing cow is a limited food that you can use. When you get the knack of volumizing your meals and really eating your unlimited veggies you won't get so hungry between meals. I make a big pot of soup at the beginning of the week using all unlimited ingredients, it's last thru the week and I can enjoy it with lunch, dinner or both. I will also have more veggies on my plate with my JC meal. All the fibre really is quite filling.

By no means an expert - but you can definitely use Laughing Cow as a limited free.
I know the lists of limited frees don't seem like much but when you're hungry in the afternoon and you want to grab a piece of fruit on the limited free list, it does help you push through until dinner!
The hunger disappears really quickly for some people once you adjust to the portion size and menu.

good luck ladies!!

Limited foods are considered items between 25-30 calories per serving so the laughing cow should be fine in this instance.

I'm new as well. I'm confused with the (3) Limited Free items. I'm on the 1200 plan and can have 2 fruits a day. Are the (3) Limited Free items an addition? I noticed you can have 1/4 C of fruit which is up to 3 servings a day. So does that mean I can have 5 fruits?

Not sure if these Limited free are additional items I can have.

I thought 3/4 cup of berries is 1 serving and 1 cup of fruit is 1 serving.

Your two fruits a day is considered a part of your menu. The additional fruit is limited free. So yes you can have five free. But remember that salad ressing is also a limited free so that reduces the amount of fuit you can have. For example if you have salad dressing with lunch then you can only have two additional fuit per day.

Jerry, My Jcc has told me that anything under 40 calories can be considered a limited free.
