Back on Track, Again

Today I started back on what I am calling a modified, modified-fast.  It's essentially the fast but with a few tweeks, since I am not doing it under a doctor's supervision right now.
I am using the meal replacements, but throwing in a few healthy fruits and veggies to make sure I get all the nutrients I need.  Today I ate around 1,000 calories.  A bit more than on the full-fast, but still fewer calories than the typical diet.  

Here's a look at what I ate today:

Breakfast:

  • Mint-chocolate meal replacement shake
  • 1 peach
Lunch: 
  • Tomato soup meal-replacement
  • 1/3 cup quinoa
  • Diet 7up
Snack:
  • 1/2 Optifast protein bar
Dinner:
  • Nacho cheese pasta meal replacement
  • Spinach w/ tomato, strawberries & pomegranate vinegar
  • Unsweetened iced tea
Snack:
  • Medifast protein brownie

Grand total: 1,027 calories

I am also taking vitamins and drinking a lot of water.  I am trying to cut back on the sweetened beverages.   I think they make me crave evil, sugary food too much!
