it's different for people some are allowed up to a box a day others only one a week, depending on how it effects weight-loss. i agree about the candies, one is never enough.

it's not about eating it, its the going back and forth. this is a chemical diet that effects pancreas, among other glands and the hormones secreted in your body. ask whoever you report to, they can explain much better than i could. but then again you may be on a different plan than dr. schwartz accuweight.

congratulations!!! you're such an inspiration for me to stick this out

YAY! Hope you made it through the night

I started bead set #2 today and lost a total of 11 lbs in the past 9 days, was hoping for more but I'll take it.

So the noodles don't really have a taste.. what I don't like about is they are really rubbery and you can't cut them with a knife. I watche a video on youtube about them and that women says she cuts them with kitchen scissors. I am hoping the rice is a little softer.

Did they at least take the flavor of the thinks you cooked them with?

Yes, but they are difficult to chew and you can not cut them. I don't know if I will be dying to have them every vegetable day. Going to try the rice.

Sounds like a pain. Keep us posted with the rice

yeah, some people can't get past the smell.. I rinsed them and got past that but they are really rubbery so I don't know... I had high hopes.

miracle noodles--the directions said to put them in boiling water for a minute. I am nosing around on the internet and one person said not to cook just heat up in warm water and put into sauce your using that is already heated. I heated mine in the sauce and in the water. So, guess I am throwing out what I saved for today because I can't put in the microwave. I will try one more time and not cook.. if it does not improve..its not for me.

I'm having a crappy day...Co-workers brought 5 trays of stuffed shells and a LARGE basket of bread and of course they didn't forget about the 5 lbs of butter to spread. I'm used to dieting, but I always had a cheat day...AW is making it so hard to stick to when I can't even have a lick of "bread crumb"...it's a TOUGH day for me, the smell of Italian food is killing me!!!

Your office likes to bring in meals!!! Mine just constantly has girl scout cookies, candy and chips.. NO Smell.
Try and stay strong you will just set yourself back.

I'm trying...I'm trying, but I could see myself eating a stick of butter with a roll and I don't even eat butter "off diet".

u should buy those listerine strips.. you put one in your mouth if your gonna eat. Then you cant eat it will taste like mouthwash!! I have them keep forgetting them.
Don't do it.. rub your beads drink your water.

MJ --how do you feel about the entire weekend being Milk. I find it easier at work.. dreading it.
nothing to look forward to.. I miss food.
