Jessica

What is the mini-gem bool ? Is it something new he has come up with? I know he was talking about havinga travel size book, has that come out yet? If so, can you post some of the info on the boards ? Thanks!

The mini- gem book is a purse-sized book that isn't out yet. I got an advanced copy as part of the challenge. It is basically a mini-food list, with lots of ideas for meals/snacks on the go, at restaurants, fast food places, bars and shakes, even at convenience stores.... Plus his usual spiel about the program, and some success stories to motivate you. I'm not sure how much I can share (like not the whole thing, copyright???) But I will look at it later today when I get home and see what is the best stuff that I can share. Much of it is on his food lists from the JC website, already, like the fast food choices--and the tv dinner choices--those are already public knowledge, so I can I'm sure, post those. I will get to ya later, okay???

Have a great day!!

Wonder if we can get a copy if we want one? Sure you dont' have to be a member on the site to get one.

Sunday 7/17

and more water. . . 32 oz., total=160 oz. OMG-no wonder my eyeballs are yellow!!

Once they are published... I'm not sure when they will be.
I have a rough draft copy w/ copy shop coiled binding, that was sent to us as part of the makeover challenge... I will probably buy the real thing when it comes out.

For now, here's a little info...
The first section is straight from the site, so I will copy it here...

If you can read pdf files, let me know, and I will send you a copy of the Eating-on-the-go pdf file from the JCsite. It is too big too attach to this post.

Then there's a section where you can choose Breakfast bars or shakes...
Actually, this is repeated in the Lunch section too, so I guess you could do it for breakfast OR lunch.

Option 1---Choose a 200 calorie bar and a 200 calorie yogurt
Examples:
Bars
------
Balance Bars (Cookie Dough, Peanut Butter, Almond Brownie, Mocha Chip,
Chocolate Raspberry Fudge, Honey Peanut, Chocolate, etc.)
Balance Gold ( Triple Chocolate Chaos, Caramel Nut Blast, Chocolate Peanut
Butter, Rocky Road)
Be Bars
Detour Bars
Luna Bars (Nutz over Chocolate, Chocolate Pecan Pie, Lemon Zest, Toasted
Nuts and Cranberries, Key Lime Pie, Orange Bliss, Chai Tea, etc...)
Zone Perfect Bars (Apple Cinnamon, Double Chocolate, Chocolate Caramel
Cluster, Strawberry Yogurt, Lemon Yogurt, Chocolate Mint, etc.)

Yogurt
------
Yoplait Ultra (Strawberry Creme, Peach Creme, Blueberry Creme, etc.)
Dannon Light and Fit ( Blackberry Pie, Blueerry, etc, etc, etc)
Light and Fit Smoothie ( berry, passion fruit, chocolate, etc.)

He actually lists out all the flavors of all the bars and yogurts, but you get the idea...

Option 2---300 calorie bar and a piece of fruit
Bars
-----
Power Bar Protein Plus (Chocolate fudge brownie, chocolate peanut butter,
cookies and cream, vanilla yogurt, etc.
Organic Food Bar (Original, Vegan, Active Greens, Omega-3, Chocolate Chip,
Almond Flax)
Geni Soy (Cafe' Mocha Java, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Chunky Peanut
Butter Fudge, etc,etc,etc)

Fruit
-----
Basicall the fruit list that the diet itself has

Option 3----300 calorie shake and a piece of fruit
Shakes
------
EAS Advant Edge (choc. fudge, french vanilla)
Glucerna (vanilla, choc, peach, banana, etc.)
Boost (vanilla, choc, strawb, butter pecan, etc.)
powdered drinks (2 scoops)
Zone Perfect (vanilla, choc)
Be
Geni Soy (1.5 scoops)

Fruit
-----
one from the diet's fruit list

I don't know about you guys, but some of those bars sound like you'd be eating candy! I wouldn't do this every day, but it would be great for on the go, if you had to rush out the door or you were late for work or something. Has anyone tried any of these bars or shakes before? Do any of them actually taste good? I have tried a few bars that have been gross. This morning, however, I had the Luna Chocolate Pecan Pie bar and it was pretty tasty.

Okay. I'll do another post with some more info. That's enough reading for this post.

Oooh, I just found more in the book that I had forgotten about...

There is a secion about drinking alcohol, and how to pick the right drinks, and/or mix the right drinks

and
