Preconditioning question
Hi I'm Susie and I'm new to MRC. I'm on the preconditioning phase and wondered if I can combine proteins? Eat 1 egg with 1 slice of cheese? Eat cottage cheese with my ground turkey? (as long as I stay under 6 oz)
My weigh in person didn't explain how much fruit I can eat- 1 cup strawberries? I got that an apple is one serving but the fruit that I can measure out confuses me. My package of melba toast says 3 pieces for 1 serving- is that correct? It seems like too much but I'm down! ;) Do I have to eat exactly 8oz of veggies? What if I eat veggies for a snack does that count towards the 8 oz? Does anyone else get sushi taste in their mouth with the fish oil? I already had enteric coated pills but they seems to make me taste sushi about 1/2 hour taking them with my meal. Any suggestions? Thanks! Looking forward to continuing on to the new phase! I'm not weighing in until Thursday and thought I would post it out to the thread. |

Re:sushi flavor-- are you taking fish oil for your omega fattys or are you taking FLAX??
Um..once you get on the green menu you are NOT supposed to mix your proteins (or at least keep it to a minimum) but i did sometimes, and it wasnt a big deal. Keep in mind you want to minimize the amount of hard cheese though, and the ratios are different if you DO decide to mix a meat protein with cheese. You dont still end up with 4 ozs. It would be like 2 ozs meat protein and i THINK only one ounce hard cheese. When i do mix my proteins i generally just mix in two different meats, like 2 ozs Chicken and 2 ozs of fish. |

Hi, I am a newbie and in precondition, I go Friday for my menu. Not sure
where I will be. What HSN's should I get to start with? I've been searching recipes, and thought it would be nice to have something to go with all the veggies I will be eating? |

2 pieces of melba toast is a serving for MRC = 40 calories. All your starch/carb servings should be around 40-50 cals. Good Luck on your journey :0) |

Hmm....I specifically called my center here and they told me that I COULD mix the meats/cheeses, etc. They didn't say anthing about ratios but I figured it was different since 2 oz cheese is one serving of protein. I will ask them again this Saturday when I go weigh in. Glad we're all talking about this. I didn't realize I should be questioning things more. :) |

Sushi taste? Yuck! Ask about switching to flax instead of fish oil. I have not noticed a taste with flax. The 8 oz of veggies are supposed to be with the meal. However, preconditioning is supposed to help with transitioning from what we ate before to the MRC diet. It is supposed to curb the carb, caffeine and salt cravings before you get really strict. Also to help get you drinking water, which most of us didn't do very well before starting MRC. Good luck and let us know if you have any questions. Don't forget to ask at your center also. They are there to help you! |
Good Morning Ladies and my two McKinney buddies, shopgirl and bjwizzy,
Weighed in last night and down 5 #'s during preconditioning. A big encouragement for me. Now making it thru the Metaslim 1-4, hope I do as well. Nothing exciting about this menu at all. Glad its the weekend, I can keep busy, neighborhood garage sales. If I reach my goal I'm treating myself to a new couch. Everyone wish me luck, I've been hanging on to this extra weight for 15 years, time to lose it. |
