Nourish & Glow: The 10-day Plan FAQs
I don’t eat nuts / coconut / seeds / pulses / grains – what are the alternatives?
One of the things I hope that this book does, is to empower you to find your own solutions to these dietary challenges. I know that there are many people, for various reason, that are unable to consume certain ingredients. So try to be creative, and don’t worry about not following the plan ‘to the letter’ – it is absolutely fine if you need to adapt the plan to suit your body. You never know, your adaptations might even improve the recipes!
Here are a few swap ideas to help get you started:
Can’t eat… | Try instead… |
Certain nuts | Other nuts or seeds (or don’t use them at all) |
Chickpeas | Other pulses / beans |
Grains | More starchy vegetables / peas |
Coconut oil | Olive oil |
Specific vegetables | Substitute with other vegetables |
Eggs | Try the vegan recipes |
How do I make this work for a family?
Many of the recipes in the 10-day plan are suitable for family cooking. However, if you are cooking for children, they will need a few adaptations over the course of the whole plan (such as continuing to consume dairy or calcium-fortified milks, and getting plenty of starchy carbohydrates for energy). There is more detailed information about this in Chapter 5 of the book.
Is the shopping list for one person?
Yes it is.
Are all the ingredients available in a supermarket?
Yes, most of the chains have all the ingredients although not all stock gluten-free oats, chia seeds, coconut yoghurt, almond butter, raw cacao powder, coconut oil or aminos. These ingredients are readily available in health food shops or online stores (or feel free to substitute them for ingredients you are able to get, according to your tolerances – i.e., plain natural yoghurt instead of coconut, normal oats instead of GF, cocoa powder instead of raw cacao etc.).
Is the shopping list complete?
No, unfortunately there are a few items missing from both lists, so please double check the recipes before you shop. It is more of a general guide.
How much is the total cost of the food shopping for 1 person for 10 days?
Approximately £100 (calculated 2017), although it might be slightly more or slightly less depending on where you are shopping and according to price rises. If you can find a local greengrocer, this can help considerably with the costs, as you can buy exactly what you need without any leftovers.
Can I follow the plan if I am vegetarian or vegan?
Yes, many of the recipes on the plan are already vegetarian and there are vegan alternatives for every recipe.
Can I drink coffee, tea and/or alcohol during the plan?
Ideally, I would suggest that you try to limit coffee to 1-2 cups per day and tea to 3-4 cups each day (without sugar or dairy milk), and try not to drink alcohol at all during those 10 days. However, this is your plan, so do what feels right.
