Hi,
I started the Metaslim Days one through 4 today. Does anyone know if you can leave off the olive oil with cider vinegar...I really don't like that! They told me to stick to this menu.
Also I came in starving today. I got through it...Is the next menu easier?

Yes, you can leave the oil/vinegar off and eat it dry. That's what I did.

It does get easier. The first 10 days are the hardest, but if you make it through that without deviating, you have a great sense of accomplishment that you can handle this plan. Hang in there and check in often.

Thanks Jenb72
It makes me feel so much better to know I don't have to eat that. The thought of that makes me sick! Thanks for the advice!

Cmarty, is it the cider vinegar you dislike? If so I would try olive oil with bit of red wine or balsamic vinegar instead. or even with no vinegar at all, whichiswhT I do. The olive oil is so good for your skin and heart with those Omega 3s. Cider vinegar's health benefits have not been similarly proven, to my knowledge. Just want t o make sure you aren't throwing the baby out with the bath water. I could not imagine life without olive oil!

Hi all,
I am new to this blog. I have been on MRC for 53 days and have lost 28.5 pounds. I lost a lot at the beginning but it is down to a pound a week now. I am trying to stay positive and I really like all the info and support you guys seem to give each other.

Thank you for the welcome Jolly Green and congratulations! I started the white menu on Sunday and have stuck to it. My birthday was on Monday, and I did not deviate from plan at all! I realized if I can stick to the plan during my birthday, then I can stick to it for the entirety of the program. I weighed in today and lost 3 pounds! I thought since I am now under 250 I would be on the beige menu, but I will ask about it when I weigh on Monday.

Thanks Pam745. I have a question. Maybe it is just the difference in states, I am in Tennessee. But what is the different color menus for? I have not heard anything about different colors from anyone at the center.

Had WI today - up 1.5 but it has been crazy last 3 wks. with MIL illness and death. Was hoping to be in stabilization but have a bit more fat to lose. We have been trying to help FIL with insurance and such so have not been getting all the water or HNS. Hoping things will slow down but sista that had liver transplant 15 years ago is having kidney issues. Would appreciate prayers. Welcome newbies and congrats everyone else. This forum has lifted my spirits many times over the past few weeks.
