Skinny Course FAQ
What is Skinny Course?
Here’s the Skinny on SKINNY COURSE:
Skinny Course is a calorie-controlled weight loss program with a 4-week minimum commitment. All meals are pre-selected. WE choose your meals, so you don’t have to think about what to eat.
Skinny Course provides you 3 meals a day, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. You’ll get breakfast, lunch and dinner. Your meals will be no more than 1300 calories per day. On the weekends, please keep your calories under 1600 per day. While we do we encourage you to enjoy a “cheat meal” we also want you to eat responsibly!
*Menus are posted weekly on our website and on the Healthy Course Meals Facebook page
How do I store Skinny Course meals?
When you get your meals, put them in your freezer. Many customers take their meals directly from the freezer to the microwave. Others like to defrost them the day before eating in the refrigerator. Do whatever works best for you!
Are the Skinny Course containers microwave safe?
Yes! The containers and lids are both microwave safe. Most microwaves will have them ready to eat in about 2 minutes, but depending on your microwave you may need to add 30 seconds until the meal is hot enough for you.
Can I eat snacks?
Snacking is not encouraged, but we know the first week or two of Skinny Course can be a daunting adjustment. We don’t want you to starve – just snack responsibly. We suggest no more than two snacks per day – no more than 100 calories each.
Suggested snacks:
- Protein Shakes (low carb/low fat). Try ours!
- Think Thin Protein Bars. Get some!
- Fruits: Strawberries, blueberries, apples, grapefruit, pears, dry apricots, cherries, oranges, plums, peaches
- Fresh Vegetables: Broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, celery sticks
