Hey everyone,
I am following an MRC meal plan, because it worked for me years ago. However, I have not re-joined so, I am without supplements and I am kinda winging it on the food. Today I had 4oz cottage cheese and 1 piece of light toast for breakfast. Then grilled chicken and an undressed salad of lettuce, squash, and broccoli all raw, with an apple. Then I cheated a little and had 3 mini rice cake snack size pieces. That's it so far. Finnishing off my water before eating the last meal, will probably have eggs and spinach though. How am I doing? Any suggestions?

Are you eating enough? That doesn't sound like much to me...I am on Weight Watchers so a completely different program. For example sake I am allowed 25 points a day and your menu gives me a total of 15 points (that's incl. 2 eggs for dinner with your spinach). On my program your body would want and need more food to lose weight. There are some great low fat salad dressing out there or even a little olive oil with balsamic vinegar is good for you too! Keep up the good work!

When I did the program 2 years ago, there was a time I couldn't afford the supplements. The girls at the center told me to follow the pre-conditioning menu. Which is:
Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Protein Protien Protien
fruit fruit fruit
bread veggie veggie
bread bread

Portion sizes: 4oz cooked veggie or 8oz raw veggie, 4 oz lean meats, for breakfast medium egg & 2 oz cheese. 1 slice of 40 cal bread, or 4 melba toasts.

Hope this helps, good luck to you!!

Sorry that didn't show up the way I had typed it.

Also, You could purchase a multi- vitamin over the counter along with flax seed.
