Okay I just wanted to give an update on how my first day went doing mix'n'match medifast products.

Couple of weeks back I tried just the 5 shakes and L&G for a week...but got so bored with it and gave up on the diet . But after posting the question here and getting the answers that I wanted to hear, I decided to mix and match. Now my schedule is to have 2 shakes, oatmeal, bar, pudding. Yesterday was just wonderful for me. I know this variety of products is going to keep me focused on the goal. I have never felt hungry or weak at all yesterday. I just LOOOOOOOOOOOVe the bar and pudding.....oatmeal is OK too.

Last night for my L&G, I tried a recipe with shrimp and thought it tasted pretty good. If any of you out there like Indian cuisine, you will love this:

6-7 oz shrimp (precooked)
2 cups spinach
1/2 cup -- mix of chopped onions, 1/2 small green chilli chooped, tiny portion of tomatoes (if you wish).
1/2 a teaspoon - ginger/garlic

Spray 1/2 Tbsp of olive oil in a pan.
Fry onion-green chilli mix and ginger/garlic for few minutes (till onions get tender. Add Shrimp and fry for 1 or 2 mins, add Spinach and fry for few minutes and let it simmer till spinach gets tender. Add salt (to your taste) and red paprika powder(optional). Fry it for another 1 min. Voila.

Yummm! I loved this recipe.

I hope I did follow the L&G guidelines to the Z.

I am sure you guys will point it out if I didn't!

I am officially medifasting 'n' I am lov'n it.

Sounds like you're off to a good start. Variety is most definitely key for me ... If I had to drink 5 shakes per day, I'd be back on pizza in no time. LOL

My sister did only shakes and it lasted maybe two weeks and needless to say she is not MFing anymore!

You sound like you are doing just great!
