I've never realized this one, and I've been on the plan over 9 months. I am sure they told me at the beginning, but it didn't sink in!

I never heard this before THIS, but I like it and will take it to heart from this point forward. Have already started. It just rings true with me, so good enough for me! --Joy2MeNu

To replace my fiber drink one of the local consultants helped me around purchasing them by using crystal light and a tsp of bennefiber (same 5 grams) It is like drinking heaven when I need something sweet. It uses splenda so falls into the program nicely. (saves about $10 off my MRC bills too)

I'm going to do this. What a great idea!!!!

Sadly Crystal Light has a horrible taste to me, never used to until I started the program and discovered my aversion to aspartame in powder drinks :( I do like the Special K protein water mixes though. This is such a good idea but if anyone else doesn't like Crystal Light (i may be totally alone in this) try the special K Protein water. They have 30 cal a packet, but no sugars, the carbs are FIBER and 5 grams of protein! I only use a half a packet at a time because they are very sweet and a whole packet is for 2 cups of water, So hey extra fiber and protein and it DEFINITELY curbs the sweet craving! And NO aspartame! :D

You can find them in Wal-mart in the diet food sections.

Every time my parents cook out, I will have my dad grill a few packages of chicken until they are just cooked through. Then I keep them in the freezer and I can do so much with them! Each one is about 8 ounces, so one breast lasts me two meals. I can make grilled chicken salad, fajitas, stir-fry, you name it in just a matter of minutes. So handy!
