Hoping to get some advice - this is my 2nd week on the program, doing fairly well on the 5&1. However, I've started waking up at night just FAMISHED. It's really difficult in that haze of sleepyness to not grab something forbidden from the kitchen cause I'm so darn hungry (so far I've stayed strong). Any advice on how to manage this? Even during the day I have strong hunger pains about 1.5 to 2 ...

Hi all!

I went to take out the trash this morning and my MF delivery had arrived!!!!!! Talk about feeling like Christmas!!!!! I was completely out of bars and getting pretty low on everything else. When Nancy mentioned that the orders could take longer, I put my order in on Wednesday, 11/30. I was thrilled to see it come today! They threw in a Holiday Survival Guide! I haven't read it yet, but I'll bet ...

I can't tell you how glad I am that M.F. is not a "shake only" kind of program. It's been pretty cold in my neck of the woods lately and I have really enjoyed the soups and chili!

I just thought I'd drop a note to say...to newcomers (or maybe those of you who've been around, too) that if you haven't let your soup simmer and swell...you're really not sampling the soups at their savory ...

I'm thinking about picking up a magic bullet blender and taking it to work every day so I can have a decent shake at work. How bulky is the base? I carry a large tote with me every day and am hoping this won't be too difficult to bring along. Any thoughts? How big is this thing, anyway? I wouldn't bring a full-sized blender but I'm hoping this will be more portable.

Thanks!

Does anyone know how much weight I could lose in like a week just by eating cottage cheese and what type of cottage cheese would be best to do this. I just need to lose some to get in shape for a modeling audition and stuff and I have to lose it quick. If anyone knows how much I could lose in a week on a crash diet of cottage cheese and what type would ...

Well it's 8:00 PM here in NY and I have managed to get through the day at my parents house (our Italian Thanksgiving) without going crazy with food! I chose to have 1 tblspoon of stuffing and I tblspoon of a spinach/cheese casserole. Other than that, I had turkey and green beans. I did not touch any pie or other desserts, didn't have to - because I made a little oatmeal tart out of MF ...

Hi fellow losers!

My GF just discovered a new product yesterday which is a zero-calorie flavored water (raspberry, lemon, etc). It really tastes like juice but less sweetened.

I looked at nutritional info and it says 0 calories, 0 carbs, 0 fat, etc...

Can it be used on our plan (Nancy?!) ?

I'd love to hear from everyone, especially all you "veteran" Medifasters, your BEST tips/strategies to get through a holiday like Thanksgiving. If everyone could list at least ONE, we should end up with a pretty good list on this thread. I think I'm going to need as much help as possible tomorrow, but I am determined to succeed!

Hi, folks-

So I had some friends over on Saturday night and made it a point to have some foods that I could eat as my lean/green, so that I didn't feel deprived. I had shrimp cocktail (I had a few shrimp as my protein), and crudite (dip for friends, not me!), and then a bunch of stuff I couldn't go near. I included cucumbers, broccoli, tomatoes, green beans and red peppers. I remembered reading ...

I can't believe this. I took out the other scale I had at home. My old one that I'd weighed in on doesn't work right, so I got out the good one. :( So I actually didn't lose anything this week. I stayed the same. Nothing. My blood sugars have been running high with MF. Can't figure that out since I am on the diabetic MF. I ...
