I recently made a chart of the different classes of MF products and their carb range. Of course, you don't have to count carbs on MF but since I became a little more aware of what I was eating, and switching things around, my weight loss has increased. So, if you reach a stall, you may want to choose lower carb items for your day.

MF 55 ~ 9-10 carbs
MF 55 RTD ~ 9 carbs
MF 70 ~ 10 - 11 carbs
MF + for Appetite Suppression ~ 8 carbs
MF + for Diabetics ~ 6 - 7 carbs
MF + for Womens Health ~ 11 carbs
MF + for Coronary Health ~ 8 carbs
Oatmeal ~ 11-12 carbs
Fruit Drinks ~ 6 carbs
Iced Tea ~ 8 carbs
Pudding ~ 11 carbs
Soup ~ 9 - 15 carbs
Creamy Soups ~ 8 - 10 carbs
Hot Drinks ~ 10 - 11 carbs
Dressings ~ 5 carbs
Bars ~ 18 - 23 carbs
Bars for Diabetics ~ 18 - 19 carbs
Fast Soups ~ 2 - 4 carbs
Crackers ~ 11 - 12 carbs

DISCLAIMER:
I am listing the net carbs here (carbs minus fiber) b/c the body doesn't process the fiber like regular carbs.

I've found that I lose more on days that I avoid the crackers. I only tend to eat them on weekends though.

I have a bar every day. Even with the larger number of carbs, I don't know if I could eliminate them. I consider my bar to be my lunch.

Thanks so much for that breakdown.I am going to stop the bars for a couple of days....too see if I can get the scale moving again.

What about the chili???? Hmmmmmmmm...I have alot of that ..Could that be my problem? I have it usually once a day .

Thanks Arklahoma for putting this together. This is very helpful. I too try and watch the carb intake.

[mamabear]

thanks for the info! It's nice to see it all together like that. really shows why bars are limited to one per day.

[Arklahoma]

This is just very interesting information, to me. Before last week, when I started omitting bars and snacks, I was losing like 0.5 to 1 lb. per week for a few weeks. Last week I lost 5 lbs. This week, I switched over to Low-Carb FF milk for my two daily lattes and I've already lost another 3 lbs. For anyone that stalls or plateaus, this could be very helpful.

It's so crazy how different formulas work for each of us.

I had to add a bar (wasn't eating one before) to get my weight loss going again.

[Arklahoma]

This is crazy!!! By omitting my bars/snacks and using low-carb milk for my two daily lattes, I've lost 4 more lbs in three days.



I'm in with MF and am really ready to party!

I know that I normally make the suggestion of removing the bar for a little while for those who not very active and not moving on the scale.

Just remember if you are going to have the bar, the best time is when you are going to physically active or moving around...you don't want those extra carbs on you when you are just sitting!

I throw the crackers in my soup each day........

But i know i am consuming like a QUARTER of the calories I was before starting MF....and i'm also active and now starting more regular excercise - daily excercise.
