The good news…
What you can have!
Dried herbs & spices
Experiment in creating a taste sensation with Cayenne, pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, garlic powder or granules, ginger, black pepper, chilli powder, cumin, basil, curry powder, coriander, mixed herbs, onion granules, chives, paprika, rosemary, oregano, parsley, sage, tarragon, thyme, or peppermint mint leaves.
Fresh herbs & spices
If you fancy packing a punch with some fresh flavours then you can try coriander, parsley, dill, chilli, rosemary, chives, thyme, tarragon, basil, oregano, sage, or mint.
Oils
Fizzy drinks
Water
Breath freshener
Milk
We know a cuppa might not hit the spot without some milk! So you’ll be happy to know that you can have 250mls of either skimmed milk, coconut milk, almond milk, hemp milk or soya milk per day.
Tea & coffee
Most of us start the day with a hot drink, so be comforted to know that you can still have:
- Tea – from a leaf
- Green teas – only from a leaf and root
- Black coffee
- Beanies Coffee – any flavour
Sweeteners
Tablet form sweeteners are ok by us.
Medicines & vitamins
Feeling ill sucks, but we’re sure it will make you feel better just to know there are some relief medicines that you can dose up on.
- Cold relief tablets – please contact Support to check the brand is ok to take with the plan
- Multivitamins – tablet form only and not flavoured
- Fibre gel – unflavoured
- Senokot/Dulcolax tablets, Benefibre or Psyllium Husk
- Painkillers in tablet form only
- Sugar-free Rennies
Savoury hot drinks
If you don’t fancy something hot and sweet to drink then you can always indulge in:
- Swiss Marigold Vegetable Boullion – up to 2 mugs per day
- Swiss Marigold Vegan REDUCED SALT Vegetable Boullion
Gelatine
Ideal for making your own New You jellies! Powdered or leaf is the best.
Chewing gum
If it’s something you like to have then we recommend you choose:
- Xylitol All Natural Xylitol Gum – Spearmint
- Peppersmith Spearmint Dental Chewing Gum
We hope that has given you some ideas moving forward. We appreciate that a total food replacement plan can be restrictive, but it has to be, to get you the results you want. But with all the delicious products available on the New You Plan, there is very little chance that you will feel like your missing out on your favourite foods.
