I get a lot of questions inside Beyond Diet from people who are following one of our fat-burning meal plans or looking at a recipe and wondering... What do I do if I don't like or can't eat something in a recipe?
There are a lot of reasons you may not be able to eat a certain food - allergies, taste preferences, accessibility - but that doesn't have to stop you from losing weight.
And making substitutions doesn't have to be hard, especially on Beyond Diet. Just be wary that if you're substituting in a food that is NOT Beyond Diet approved, it may slow or stall your weight loss.
For a handy guide to choosing fat-burning substitutes, check out the graphics below.

Joanne- This smoothie is really good! Or you can browse through the breakfast recipes to find a replacement. Finding another muffin recipe would be a good idea because you will notice the muffins are sprinkled in your meal plans through the week to use up the whole batch.
You can purchase SWG Bread at most grocery stores (freezer section). Or try looking up some of our bread recipes in our site that use other flours like coconut flour.
Jennifer - That's because the Gut Renewal Program has a specific way to make substitutions which is outlined in the Gut Renewal Manual.
Any other protein is fine Victoria. Check out the first graphic for more information or FAQ 2 which explains it as well.
Lonna - Since cilantro is an herb it's best to sub them for a different herb. Parsley would be a good substitute.
Any type of steak cut you prefer is fine to use.
Hi Lisa - Check out the fat options in the Food Choices Tool. It will show you other options.
