They are for the most part, just protein (15 grams protein times 4 calories per gram equals 60 calories) so do not skimp on using them to get enough protein. Hmmm. I wonder what I eat...

I have store brand Strawberries (from Walmart) and mixed berries (from the grocery store) and the ingredients say "strawberries" and "blueberries, raspberries and blackberries"...and thats it. No water, no salt, no sugar, no preservatives. Just the fruit. As long as you don't buy frozen pie filling or something that is a dessert glaze or something it should be just the fruit. FYI: A store-brand bag of...

As soon as my strawberries are gone, I will purchase the frozen ones. I suppose you have to be very careful not to purchase ones that have sugar added. Can you recommend what brand you purchase? This is great news, because the fresh strawberries I purchased are barely ripe!!!

If you want them sweeter, you can always add some splenda to them, but with the blueberries in there, it's not really an issue. They're plenty sweet. I don't do cheese with meals...I do have it nearly every day that i have a snack though. Hasn't ever slowed me down,...

Ok, everybody - let's gear up for a week of temptation!! I am sure that there will be a lot of holiday parties, work treats, and food temptation galore. I am going to pack an extra HNS, chocolate meal-replacement bar as my "shield" against temptation this week. Best wishes everyone for focus on our goals ... WE CAN DO IT!! **NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD, AS THIN (HEALTHY) FEELS!**

Hi Ronnie! You are doing great! 7 pounds from goal!

I had my food instruction class yesterday and they started me on the Metaslim (yellow) menu. I like that it tells you exactly what and how much you can have. I don't do well if I have to many choices. WWDT, did you make it to food instruction. If not maybe they can talk to you over the phone. I had a one on one food instruction class because I could not make the regular class. Don't be afraid to ask for phone or email help. They...
