p.s. the only pills you have to take are a multi vitamin and flax oil thats it! you don't have to take any fat burners or anything like that and you can buy them from wherever you want you don't neccessary have to get the multi and flax from metabolic

count yourself lucky i am two weeks in and i am at 1000.00 already. i am going to have to do something differently. i cant afford this.

added note, its working though! so i guess its money well spent! i have spent probably 5 x that amount over the years TRYING to lose weight.

The ones I have been using from MRC have helped me sleep more soundly and have energy during the day! I am being treated at Mayo for sleep disorder and metabolic problems but feel great since starting.

I was going to spend at least that on new clothes for spring so I consider this a good trade off. I'm beginning to fit into my older clothes again. I know I will be too small for them soon!
Hi! Could you give us an example of your daily eating plan and how many calories you are allotted each day? How much do they want you to work out, etc?

TIA

MRC definitely works, I am 58 years old and I now have a flat stomach after 40 years! I joined on 5/14/09 and by 7/6/09 I lost 15 lbs, between 7/6/09 when I started stabilization I lost another 10 by 8/14/09 and another pound in maintenance. I've stayed the same now for over 2 months and it was easy. I wasn't hungry and I lost fast and healthy. It is pricey but if you don't get sucked into buying all the supplements it is more affordable. The protein supplements are the best though, there's no way you could get that much protein without all the fat and calories of meat, cheese, etc. I highly recommend it.

I will let u know how I do when I weigh in again this week.
I did the MRC program about five years ago. It was the one program that I didn't feel like I was starving on since I was eating frequently following the menus. Every once in a while I would have serious carb cravings on the program. But ultimately I have to say it was the one program I had the most success on...

Needless to say, I have gained almost all of the weight back over the past two years. I dug out my menus yesterday and am starting back on the plan. I would be extremely happy if you could send me the website you found that has the same drinks. I've tried several of the other drinks and the Berry and Lemonaide drinks were my favorite. I've been searching google for about 6 hours over the last two days and I can only find a few of them on ebay. I haven't found a web site that has the same kind.

Very much appreciated! Thanks!

I have been using MRC for three months, I am down 25 pounds, but what I am really excited about is my blood sugar, My A1C was 9.7 three months ago, now it is 6.5 which is considered to be within normal range! My sugar was always over 300 now it is in the 70-120 range all the time. I am still losing, but did gain a little bit during the holidays because I ate off plan. My bad! But I am back on track and the pounds are coming off. It costs money and yes I have bought some of the vitamins, and supplements. I can not tell you how well they work, because I never felt bad, I know when I eat off plan I feel it. I know I really enjoy the drinks, I am trying my hardest to get the water in I am suppose to drink. My son just changed his water intake and has lost 60 pounds so I am pushing myself to get the water. That is a big part of weight loss.

My mom did metabolic and lost about 50 pounds...and it's stayed off for over a year. I just started and quickly dropped 10 pounds. Everyone there is so helpful and friendly and they create an excellent support system. You do not buy food from them, but protein drinks which fill you up and help you to lose more weight quickly.
