days 3-6 there are starches. But how would you adjust this for the green plan? I get 2 proteins, 2 S, 1 Dairy, 2 Veggies & 2 Fruits.
I really want to give this a try!!!

If you read Lettie's post again, you'll see that the week of the TO consist of 2 day TO, and the rest is following your regular plan using SlimDown & JetStarts. If you do the Slim Down/Slim Fast, they count as 1S & 1P. The JetStart counts as 1D & 1F. So on the days you are having Slim Down and JetStarts, you will have 1P, 1S, 2 V & 1 Fr left to consume. Does that make sense? I'm no expert. I am just explaining of how I read Lettie's post...

Yes, That does make sense now. I didn't know that the Jetstart counted as
1D & 1F-that is where I think I was getting confused. Thanks for explaining it to me!!

I am going to substitute a Slim-Fast Optima drink for the Jet Start. Here are the info on each. I like the taste of both drinks but I am a coffee lover. If you don't like the coffee taste you could substitute another slim-fast flavor.

Jetstart does have a higher percentage of these vitamins compared to Slim-Fast Optima Cappuccino Delight:
Thiamin
Riboflavin
Niacin
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B12
Biotin
Panthonic acid
I guess that's why it's labeled "energy beverage."

Lettie,
Thank you so much for posting the information on the summer meltdown. It is just what I needed.

Jet Start counts as 1D & 1FR.

I think I dropped the R on the FR.....

And you're welcome!

Oh, and I'm not sure of JetStart substitute... I did notice at Walmart and Kroger's they have a breakfast drink that looked like the packinging of the JetStart, but I haven't had the chance of comparing them...

no problem,
I am on day 2 of the melt down. down, 2 lbs already but was up so it just put me back where I should be, 209.6 I hope to get further with this second day of TO and then hit the meltdown portion.

off to work!

Okay then....just erased all of what I wrote somehow!! I am doing a summer meltdown too using subs for the TO and SD. I have 6 weeks til my beach trip and I really need to melt something before I put on a bathing suit!!

oooooh yummy! Subway Subs or homemade........

Has anyone tried the EAS? I like the numbers--except the sodium everything else looks good.

What can I substitute the JetStart with?? I cant find Starbucks Frapp LITE...just regular...I will keep looking but I need to come up with a plan B....the EAS...is that what was just posted seems so high in protein....HELP!

Yes--on the EAS--my walmart only had the Myoplex Lite in choc. fudge and vanilla but the numbers are the same as those posted above. Except the choc. fudge I bought had the same potassium as the jetstart. The downfall is the sodium, but the upside (and enough for me) is the sugar and protein. I won't try the EAS until Thursday, so it may taste like ick--I'll keep you posted.

You can also sub a dairy and a fruit for the Jetstart (I am pretty sure)--which is definitely my plan B.

I think the EAS tastes like ick. it is too protein shake-ish for me. nothing like the jetstart.

great--now I haven't even tried them and want to return them! I'll make a decision today since I can always do yogurt and fruit in the mornings. Otherwise I will put them in the freezer and chug them really cold like we did way back when we tried the Metabolife shakes--barf!

well don't mean to turn you off on them before you even try. but I bought one four pack two weeks ago and never did finish them. I am going for the dairy and fruit smoothie.
