On the stove top I use my daily "allowance" of olive oil and put it in a pan... medium to high heat. I then toss in thinly sliced zucchini. I keep an eye on it and move it around often so it doesn't burn. I also add whatever on program spices i am feeling that day.
As far as things that have helped me so far:
- I mix my fiber in with my HNS every time I have a liquid HNS. That keeps me fuller longer for sure.... I don't take any supplements for appetite suppressant. I am (and my hubby is too!) blown away by how I don't have the urge to snack all the time or become extremely hungry like I used to.
- When I go to the store I pre-package all of my meals when I get home. I use a lot of frozen chicken and veggies. (I have my veggies packed in the ziplock steam bags and it makes life
so easy) It is easy to take to work and to school 2 nights a week and I just need a microwave. When I am home I have all my veggies and foods prepped for when I have time to cook more or try a recipie. But the biggest advantage to prepackaging my meals is that I don't make the bad decision to eat something off program that isn't healthy... because it takes me 4 min. and a microwave to make my protien & veggies.
I don't take any supplements right now from MRC. I have been taking multivitamins and oil since before I started MRC, So I can't speak to any of that. I am debating on the MRC or Cortitrim... but I am always sceptical of supplements... so I am interested in any feedback - good or bad.
