Jason's Day 3

I started this blog with the expectations that I'd write about my experiences on the medifast diet along with my brother Jesse. Seems I might have been a wee bit too ambitious as it’s already day 3 and this is my first post. Oh well, on with it already!

a friend / former coworker of mine actually is the one responsible for turning me onto this diet, he started it because he had major health issues, and I took a look at my future and realized if I didn't do something now, I'd be on the same track as he. So after listening to his results over the last two months I finally motivated myself to look into it. One thing led to another and before I knew it I was on the diet. My diet is way different than the normal 5/1 plan. I have Gout, and because of that, I have to have a certain amount of "other" things a day outside of the medifast supplements. For me, rather then it being a 5/1, it’s a 2/2/2/2/1 plan. a bit of a headache for me now, but I have a feeling as we get down the path a bit, I'll be getting leers from the others as I eat real food :)

I haven't weighed myself yet, I keep making excuses not to. I think I'll wait and be surprised rather than risk being let down.

Here is a brief run down of what I've had on the diet already

Day 1
I wasn't prepared for my version of the diet yet, so I stuck to the 5/1 plan

· Morning - Dutch chocolate shake make with a shaker (it was "ok")

· Mid Morning - chocolate mint bar (it was "pretty good")

· Lunch - Dutch chocolate already made shake (it was "blah")

· Mid Afternoon - Parmesan Cheese Puffs (it was "pretty good")

· Dinner - boneless / skinless chicken breast with fat free mozzarella, green leaf salad with Kraft zesty Italian dressing (fat free of course) and Zucchini.

·After Dinner - Dutch chocolate shake (used blender with ice) with 2 tbs of sugar free, fat free, carb free, basically everything free raspberry syrup. (it was "yummy")

Day 2
Following my version of the diet today

· Morning - 2 cups of whole wheat cereal with 1 cup of 1% low fat milk.

· Mid Morning - 1 apple

· Lunch - Revisited the Chocolate Raspberry Shake recipe from the night before... yep... still yummy

· After Lunch - 10 large green olives stuff with pimento, 10 peanuts

· Dinner - Roasted herb chicken (minus the skin), green beans, and green lettuce salad with the zesty fat free Italian dressing, sautéed mushrooms.

· After Dinner - enhanced chocolate mint bar (it was "yummy")

That’s all for now :)
