Ten pounds came off in the first seven days!!! I'm shooting for 50lbs maybe a little more for growing room.
The Medifast diet has no supplements involved its a strict low calorie soy based diet. 5 of the Medifast prepackage meals and one meal of a 5-7 oz lean protein and two cuts of greens and 1 cup of low carb veggies ( no carrots,corn or peas).
Honestly the food takes some getting use to but the weight lose with motivate the tastebuds. The shakes ( 2 a day) and the bars (1 a day) are good, satifys the chocolate craving. The oatmeal wasn't so great, I've learned to make muffins by adding splenda and bakingsoda. The soups are okay.. cream of brochholi and chicken and rice are better.
Crystal lite and Diet soda's are my treats... I add the crystal lites to the shakes to intensify the flavor in the shakes and pudding.
Everyone is telling me its water weight that I have lost ... but I DON"T CARE.. its 10 LBS less off the scale.
Once my goal weight is reached then I will whean off the Medifast meals over a month adding in the fruits and other items that are now off limits. Its been hard... I LOVE tomatoes.. they are ok for the diet and tast like fruit! no sugar no salt though. can have 2 tbsp of low cal dressing on my salald at night.
Its been hard to stay on but getting on the scale daily and see almost 2 lbs everyday! But I have learned food is everywhere.. shopping , tv, social... but with focus and determination I have over come weak moments.
The biggest moment will be this coming weekends 4 day camping trip. I have my food packed and I'm going to try really hard. Wish me luck.... I just keep thinking TEN pounds and I can feel it in my clothes.... so exciting!
Good for you,keep up the good work
ReplyDeleteThat is sometime I should do,but can't see Uncle Hop helping me any.
He likes his rum and coke and so do I. I don't thnk I could stick to the diet if he is drinking and eating good stuff.
Yes, the timing was alright with Sean being gone most the week.. the weekend was rough but I didn't stay in the kitchen.Sean is being very supportive though ;)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, dieting is so hard, take it from me. I have not heard of "medifast" but as long as it teaches about portions and what is good for your body and what is not, then it sounds good to me. I would also suggest Weight Watchers, it really worked for me!!
