Has anyone notice a change in any of the gel HNS? It seems every t ime I drink one, I have a very upset stomach, and with the orange flavor, I get diarrhea. However, the creamy cocoa, no problem. Just curious...

I haven't noticed anything but today when I was at my center, they received a shipment and I heard one of the ladies say.. are we not getting the concentrates anymore? And someone else said - doesn't look like it.

Now that you've mentioned this... I have a few weeks supply of the concentrates in my pantry. I hope there's nothing wrong with them.

I haven't noticed yet. Of course, I just bought new boxes and haven't tried most of the liquid ones yet. I did try the orange yesterday though and had no problems.

I went to WI in this morning before heading to Lincoln to load my car up w/ my son's stuff. He will be done w/ his Freshman year in college in just a few hours.

WI I was down 2 lbs yeah no up this week just down. They also did measurements. In the first 4 months I only lost 12.25 inches. In the last month alone I've lost 11.75 inches. Yeah me. Now if I could get the scale to move that well. I know as hard as I've been working out that has caused the lose in inches. I'll take whatever I can get.

Teacherlady praying for you and your family during this time.

I hope everyone has a blessed day!!

I haven't had any problems with mine. I just bought a bunch more last weekend, and I've been using them with no issues. They even have a brand-new flavor in the concentrates: pomegranate. I tried it, and I really liked it.

Patzi,

This has happened to me too. For the past month, after I take my first HNS of the day, I get diarrhea. I get it after the second one too and then I'm fine.

I'm also using the Proti-Diet brand which is the same as MRC except for the packaging.

It's very inconvenient and I didn't have this problem until recently.

I hope they don't discontinue concentrates--I'm willing to put up with this since it's helping me lose.



BTW, does anyone know at what weight you decrease your HNS from four to three a day?

200 lbs. It's when you go from the beige menu to the green. I only know this because I switched menus about two weeks ago.

Is there anything else you can take rather than HNS? It's just getting so expensive since I try to do 5 a day. Help.

I really wanted to break that point this week but oh well, it'll happen next week. I may try to squeeze in a WI first thing Saturday morning before I go to my booth.. but don't know for sure. I don't know if I can wait until Monday to find out if I went below 300.. but then again, not sure I will lose 2lbs between today and Saturday!?

Oh well! Hope everyone is having a great Hump Day!
You're doing so well! You are so close to that 300 mark and I'm so excited for you! It will happen, stay OP and you will get there!

Default Mrc Chocolate Brownie Recipie

I went to my center for class tonight and they were selling a "new" product. (I don't know if it is new to MRC or just new to our center) but it is a chololate drink that contains antioxidents and probiotics (more than in yogurt). I can have 1 scoop a day for "free" or 2 scoops can replace my fruit. (No way I'm turning down "free" chocolate). It also came with the following recipie for MRC Chocolate Brownies (this is from the center). I will try it tonight and let you know what I think, but I just had to share this info!

1 pkg double chocolate pudding (can use hot coco instead if out of the pudding)
3 Tbs water
1/2 tsp olive oil
1 scoop Super Chocolate
1 packet sweetener (optional)

Instructions:
Stir ingredents together and put in a bowl in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.

I can't wait to try this!

You are doing a great job! The scale can be so cruel but I bet losing all those inches feels great!
