Day four on the plan. Doing it right that is. I was just wondering about the food. Today i had:
3 shakes
1bar
1 chicken noodle soup
1oatmeal
3 oz of chicken
Please tell me i did not go out of ketosis!?

You did not go out of ketosis. However, it is unclear whether you are doing a full fast or lean and green. A full fast is 6 supplements, which you had. A 5-1, or lean and green, would have been 5 supplements and a little more chicken than you had and 2 cups of salad or a cup or a cup and a half of non-starchy vegetables. You did not have any vegetables or salad. A full fast(only shakes and other supplements) is to be done ONLY under the advisement of a MD). If they are having a really rough day or are extremely active, people on MF are permitted an extra supplement every now and again.

Hi, Krandle and welcome back!

You didn't CHEAT per se, Kiddo. I'd like to see that serving of vegetables to balance your semi-puny protein portion.

The first few days can be hard for some of us and if you need a little something more, it is always best to choose a nutritionally balanced Medifast meal replacement and that's exactly what you did.

If your day is especially long, sometimes a 6th supplement is needed. I have had some really long days recently - up at 6:20 AM and go-go-go all day until 2:30 or 3 AM. I have Chai Latte or oatmeal just before I hit the hay and I had a snack at 10 PM, too.

You will get through the treacherous first few days and soon be on to week two.

I see that 70 pound weight loss and I am just really truly pock-a-dooly happy for ya, Krandle!

thank you. I really have to buckle down to get in the hang of things again. So i will incorporate some greens in my meal.
Thank you
