I have been reading thru the summer meltdown info, and now that I am home thinking about giving it a try.

my confusion is - the difference between the slimdowns and the jetstart. I have read that some people are subbing slimfast for the slimdowns, and others are subbing slimfast for the jetstart. I know that the jetstart is 1da and 1 fr, and the slimfast is 1 p and 1 starch.

I know Lettie said she was subbing the jetstart for yogurt, and fruit which I like that idea, but I don't understand how you can sub the slimfast for the jetstart and count it as a fr and da, if you sub it for a slimdown and count it as a p and s.

Am I a complete idiot, and just not getting this, or do we get to choose how to count the slimfast??? Please help.

I don't remember reading that in the thread. I know people are subing Starbuck fraps for Jetstart and slimfast optima for slimdowns. Hope that helps

think that this is what I had read, and is why I am so confused.
Maybe I will post on the summer meltdown as well.

Karen- the Slimdowns can = Slimfast Optima plus a cheese stick

Jetstart can = EAS Advantage Coffeehouse drinks or frappucino's

I don;t think you should sub slimfast for JetStart.

Thank you .. thank you ... thank you!!!

that is how I understood it as well, but then I started second guessing myself...... ok, maybe I am not losing my mind.... ha ha ha, at least not yet!

thanks again.
