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!
