Day 1 on Medifast
291 pounds (I think.)
Times are approximate.
9:30 am- Apples & Cinnamon Oatmeal. The powder tasted deceptively good. I had high hopes for this, but was disappointed. The consistency was more sludge than oatmeal. Perhaps I will try adding more water. I used the minimum because I like my oatmeal thicker… usually. May have also been better with some Splenda or cinnamon, but I was too lazy to get it. Interested in trying the cookie recipe.
11:30 am- Cranberry & Mango Juice. I love cranberries. I hate mangoes. The flavor was overwhelming in mangoes. Someone who liked mangoes would enjoy this, but I did not. Rather, I felt like I was going to retch with each sip. Will not order this again, but will make it through the other 6 packets… somehow… maybe try making popsicles or a sorbet.
1:30 pm- Chocolate Mint Bar. This was good. It had the chewy consistency of a protein bar, which may be good because it took longer to eat.
3:30 pm- Chicken & Rice Soup. Good and filling. Tasted authentic.
6:30 pm- steamed shrimp (lean) on 3 cups of romaine lettuce (green) + 2 Tbsp Rasberry Vinigrette Dressing (fats). Greens were limp. Need to wash and the refridgerate.
11:30 pm- Lemon Bar. Had just planned on skipping 5th meal, but thought if I woke up hungry it would make me sick. So, I climbed into bed with lemon bar. Tasted so good. Reminiscent of a carrot cake.
I was hungry at points throughout the day. Mostly, it was a brain-fuzzy hungry, but there was some serious hunger too in the afternoon.
It felt good to shop and buy healthy food. I am excited about becoming a foodie- researching food, making wise decisions.
