A suggestion. With the library of recipes it would be really helpful if a user could select recipes into a week’s plan, indicate how many people need to be catered for and then to press the button to get the choices converted into a shopping list.
I don’t think this feature exists at the moment.
I don’t think that exists anywhere to be honest.
If it did I suspect it would save a fortune on weekly shopping bills.
Of course, if you have the IT skills to do it…….. 😉
I’ve created one (taken from the essential items list in the recipe book). If I could find a way to upload it here, I’d gladly do it…

i’d love to see the list.

Songster if you put it on a google sheet you could post the link to it and all could access it.
Sounds like you’ve spent a lot of time doing something very valuable.
Songster were you ever able to upload as I would love to see it too
Pretty please x
I would love this too please. 😊

I created a menu planner for myself as trying to build a low carb menu for a number of weeks was a real headache. I have used the recipes from the 8-week and Fast 800 recipe books, which I find are great.
Have a look and let me know what you think:-

I should have added that I created this as I wanted a way to create a menu plan with the Carbs and Cals I wanted. I was less interested in creating a shopping list as it always varies against what in your cupboards. It could be enhanced however.
Wow, Robert! That’s a very impressive creation, it must have taken hours of work to put that resource together. Should make putting together meal plans much easier. Hope you find it simplifies following this way of eating for you.
Yes I plateaued after three weeks and wanted to drop back to a low carb variant of the F800/Blood Sugar diet and it was proving really laborious to try and create a plan with the right amount of carbs in it. I find the recipes in the those books much more palatable than the usual low carb/Atkins offerings.
So a couple of afternoons doing data entry and a third fiddling with excel formula and voila.
Hope it is useful for others also.
If anybody makes any useful additions either to the recipes or he spreadsheet let me know and I’ll update the master copy.
Robert
hello Robert,
Your meal planner is excellent. It’s a fantastic tool for those of us who want to follow the 800 BSD. Are you willing to let people have a copy?
I’d be happy to pay for this wonderful meal planner.
Best wishes
Barbara
All the instructions to make your own copy on the the first sheet named ReadMe. Select File then Make a Copy from Google Sheets
Thank you Robert, that’s very generous of
No problem, enjoy
Good dieting!
Hi Robert, does this mean you are still around. How are you doing. This post goes back to when I first started in 2016. Looked at the spreadsheet and it is way too complicated for me but might be of use to others.
Yep still here (I think 😉 I had to move off the full low carb diet as I could not get it to work for me and exercise. Whenever I go Low Carb I just can’t run or climb hills. I still mix it up with a couple of Low Carb meals a week. Going a slower route to getting the last few pounds off.
All the best
Hi Robert….found your planner amazing and thank you for sharing with us,it will be a godsend for most of us.I would like to know where I can find the 8 week recipes ? I have done a search on here but nothing,nor on the net,I browsed the book online but none of the 8 week recipes on your planner were in the menu ? Hope you can help
All the links to the books are on the first sheet at the bottom of the page, I think? Let me know if any of the links don’t work.
Yes all your links are there and work,but what I’m after is the ingredients and how to prepare the meals listed online if that’s possible as the 8 week ones you have in the spreadsheet are not listed in the 8 week book ?
I am confused. There are two 8-week books.
8wd, 8-week diet, The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet: Lose weight fast and reprogramme your body
8wr, 8-week recipe, The 8-week Blood Sugar Diet Recipe Book: Simple delicious meals for fast, healthy weight loss
I did not add any recipes from the 8wd into the spreadsheet as I had enough. The ones from the 8wr book on on the pages listed in the book. Can you not find the correct recipe at the page listed for the 8wr recipes? The ones I used worked, but I may have had some typos if there are any specific errors let me know.
the 8 week BSD recipe book is the companion to the 8 week BSD diet book. There is also the fast800 plus the fast 800 recipe book. All very similar and by the same people.
