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'm in Northeast Florida.

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.

Finally got to sign the ten pound poster. Yah me!!

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.

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!

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!

Congrats! You should be so proud of yourself.

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

Congrats!!! I love signing the boards, it is so motivating.
