What stage of the program are you in?
I am in maintenance. I lost 135 pounds three years ago. That’s me ^ at the top of the web pages.
Do you know how long it is supposed to take to get back to mild ketosis after a drink? Is it another 3 days.
Every time we eat (or drink) something not on the program, we risk leaving ketosis. It is a very fine line that we walk here – when we eat more than what is on the plan; we tip the balance of the program. I really have no idea how long it will take to get it back; I should think it would not be a full three days if it was only the one drink that was added to your program day but I honestly dunno for sure.
Also, is the oatmeal bar considered a "snack"?
An oatmeal bar is not a snack, it is a complete meal replacement.
All of the bars are complete meals and you may have one bar per day for the weight loss program.
Each of the Medifast packets = one complete meal except for the following:
Medifast MultiGrain Crackers and Garden Vegetable Crackers are snacks
Medifast Fast Soup (Delicate Chicken, Savory Beef and Robust Tomato) are snacks.
Or should I order snacks separately?
I'm not sure what you mea here but let me take a stab at it - Yes, they may be ordered separately or they may be ordered when you place your next food order. Medifast Snack crackers and the Fast Soups do not come in the 28 Day Variety Pak. They must be ordered or added to your order.
You may have one Medifast Snack per day
plus
three stalks of celery OR 2 dill pickles
1-2 cups of bouillon, Sugar Free Jell-O
original 1-4 day plan for another week
I don’t know what you mean here. If you are in transition, then you will be adding back fruit. If you are on the weight loss phase, no fruit.
We do not recommend that people begin the transition phase until they reach their goal weight. Then over a course of days or weeks, depending upon the length of time you are on the weight loss phase, begin transition.
I was on the weight loss phase for 7 months to lose 135 pounds and then I transitioned over a course of 6 weeks, then kept my calories low for several months to prevent regain and added increased exercise to raise my metabolism.
I would suggest that you look over the Quick Start booklet that came with your first order of Medifast and then speak with your Health Advisor to review your program with you.
