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. |

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. |
Welcome

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? |

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. :) |

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. |

Oh, my birthday today, can't have birthday cake, told my son we can put a candle in my slice of cheese (lol) oh well, I had many pieces of cake before. Have a good week, let me know how things are going, Congratulations on your lost too! We can do it! Magnoliagirl |
Hello shopgirl, I'm magnoliagirl from McKinney too!
Just joined in October along with bjwizzy. When do you go? I will go back on Monday night. I'm still trying to figure this board out, sometimes I find myself going in circles on it. Looking forward to getting off the Metaslim 1-4, and guess the next one I get to add a egg. Do I get anything else? Thanks have a good Sunday, magnoliagirl |

THanks for my birthday wish, my son laughed at my cheese birthday cake. Have a great day, magnoliagirl |

Yeah, the egg on the blue menu is like heaven! LOL! Then you'll only have to be on the blue menu for a few days then it's onto the GREEN! Yea! :carrot: Experiment with all the different Mrs. Dash seasonings....they're a saving grace from the land of bland!! I look forward to celebrating your success with you! :) |

On your menu is your meat still only 4oz. Tonite I could have eaten two pieces of Talipia. Had tuna for lunch with the dijoniase. I liked the tuna plain. Can we ever have a snack on this diet? Besides a HSN? I think I'm going to call the center to see? Let me know how you are doing. I'm still hungry, urgggggghhhhhhh. But I'm determine to stick it out. Shirley |

Well at least I lost another #. Feel like I should have lost 10, maybe I was going into starvation mode too. I'm not hungry tonite. Let me know if you try anything good...looking for a variety in my chicken and buffalo. |

WAAAAAH! :( I have to believe this will get better. Are you really hungry too? |

I will get excited when I break 10#, maybe 12, because I've haven't been able to lose more than that before. Have you tried the diet rite drinks? I got the tangerine, that is nice to have in between my lunch and dinner. change from water. I'm going to weigh in on Monday...Let me know how things are going, hang in there, we gonna be so skinnnnnnyyyyyy.. soon... Magnoliagirl |
