Hi Lisa – glad you asked. If you read my hundreds of past posts, you will see I was a total advocate of the full fast. Some can/do and some prefer not to do the full fast. To each their own. My problem is that I was never, and still to this day are not able to monitor on a weight loss program (avoiding calling it a DIEt, for rear of Nancy beating down my door) by allowing items in IE: Lean Green. My problem is eating is eating to me. If I allowed the L/G in, the portion(s) would be legal at first then progressively they would get larger, as I allowed this teensy justification. Before I know it I would have gone off totally. Hey wait – I did just that, AFTER Medifast ended for me, thus my return here. I can’t control my habits, thus the FULL FAST. Again, to each their own, however, for the real first time in my life, I lost 114 pounds, and it was 100,000% related to Medifast. I opted to slit my wrist, bite the bullet, or whatever you call it, and do only full fast, and I LOST THE WEIGHT! It worked once, and it will work again THIS TIME.
Full fast is not for everyone, but it is for some, and it is for me. I want the weight off NOW, not later.
All I drink is the tear and pour packets of Dutch Chocolate I tried the RTD’s (8 ounces?) in the beginning, but w/ the packets, I can actually add 12 ounces of water, and think I am getting more. The only other thing I do is have a hefty bouillon drink (2 cups) about 4-5 nights a week. I add 4 bouillon cubes to this. That’s it, nothing else.
Hope this helps!
