Got some crackers in my order today. I know we can have one packet a day... Should I eat them separately than my medifast packets? I know I can have them with fast soup or my lean and green, but wouldn't it be too many carbs if I had them with lets say--my chicken and wild rice soup? How long after a MF supplement should I wait to eat my crackers?

Always got questions..lol...I love not being hungry, so don't want to mess up the ketosis

There is no need to wait between Medifast packets - you may have your crackers with the Chicken and Wild Rice Soup,with a Fast Soup, to dip into the Essential 1 Chicken Salad or you may enjoy them all by themselves and just because you feel like having a packet.

Whee, live it up!! It's cracker heaven - all 10 teensy weensy itsy bitsy crackers!

What kind did you get? I love the crackers with any of the soup or at night with my salad.

[Lisa Renee]

got both, had some last night. Kinda thought I might have felt a spike in hunger, but it was so mild, could have been in my head. Do you ever have an increase in hunger after the crackers???


Thanks

[ladyhawke]

No, not at all, they do the trick for me and I was a big eater before MF.

[Nancy]

Nope, they do not give me the hongries.

They are the perfect snack for me - I carry them in my purse and because the little bags have air in them, the crackers do not get crushed even when I slip my laptop in my purse.

HEY-

I love the crackers too.I have them with my soups..They really hit the spot and when I need to hear something crunchy they are really good for that ..I eat them with the tuna salad and chicken salad..Just put the salad right on top of them and crunch down They are really good with the chili too..They are a life saver..and don't make me hungier at all. in fact they fill me up more ..Hope it helps--Martha

[ladyhawke]

i like to put my cracker in my soup. it makes the soup more filling, especially when i know it's going to be 4 hours until my next meal

That's interesting. Do you always wait 4 hours between meals and how do you fit all your meals in that way? I have to do every 2-3 hours because I like to be in bed by 9pm or so... Not always, but that's the goal On top of that I am having 7 meals total a day because I wasn't loosing on the 5 and 1 so my health advisor told me to add a shake and when I did the scale started going down again. Is it ok to always be taking my shakes etc. every 2 hours? That makes for a 14 hour day which works out for me. Is every 2 hours ok?

[Nancy]

It is best to eat every three hours and to never go more than four hours.

[Lisa Renee]

If I ate every three hours, I would only get 3 hours of sleep a night because I am eating 7 times a day. That's why I eat every2 instead. Hopefully that's not harmful to my progress. Not much I can do about it.

[Nancy]

Nope - two-three hours is just fine. When a person stretches it out to 4 hours, our stomach is just about empty by then.

[Lisa Renee]

Its funny cause I haven't been hungry at all. Last night my stomach was growling, but I had no hunger. WEird how our brains work and how ketosis shuts down hunger, even if our stomach is empty.


Thanks for the help guys!
