Okay -- had my first shake this morning -- and was pleasantly surprised.

I was concerned that the shake was going to be a little "icky" but it was fairly good. I have the diabetic shakes so I thought that they might have a less than appealing taste but after trying it -- I know I can do this program.

I got the "kit" so I have lots of stuff to try out but no strawberry shakes Starwberry is my favorite -- so when it is time to order more I'm stocking up!!! I read in a post somewhere that someone said they thought the strawberry shakes tasted like melted strawberry ice cream and I thought -- what's wrong with that?!?

Can't wait to belong to the 10# club (and more!)

Wish me luck!

I love your postive attitude! You're going to do just fine on this program, Christina.

When something healthy tastes like melted strawberry ice cream, honey, there's NOTHING wrong with that!

Good luck to you on your first day and all the days to come, and be sure and get out on the forum and post often! You are going to receive overwhelming support from this group!

Hi Christina and welcome to the program. I am just starting my second week and things are going well so far! I just tasted a strawberry shake for the first time and was barely able to finish it - doesn't mean you won't like it but you might want to try a sample or small quantity first to make sure!

Caution on the Celery, and peeeckles.. I am on no way raining on Marge’s parade, just a few “newbie” cautions:

Just remember to load up on celery, pickles and bouillon especially during the first week.

From the FAQ section:

Salad can include 1 to 2 cups of any kind of salad greens along with up to ¼ cup total of any combination of raw vegetables such as peppers, onions, cucumbers, celery, mushrooms, radishes, alfalfa or bean sprouts, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, or cabbage.

You can munch on celery-up to three stalks per day is acceptable. Celery is a high-water vegetable with minimal carbohydrates.

Additionally I think Nancy added you could munch on 2 (if I remember) pickle spears daily.

Bullion – 2 cups a day max (from the Medifast guide)

Hi Mike,

A quick question about your post. You quoted the FAQ section about how much salad veggies, etc. are acceptable. Are the salad and veggies OK for the full fast? I had read that section in the Quick Start booklet as being applicable to the modified program only. I also saw in one of Nancy's posts that 2 pickles a day was OK and that a small green salad was also OK on the full fast but wasn't sure about adding the other veggies noted in the FAQ. Would appreciate any thoughts or advice you have...

Thanks!

Howdy Sylvia..

Check here (on Nancy's site) These are the FAQ links. I posted the one on the top, from the Medifast.com site, with basically anything you want to know, it's here:

There are 2 programs, as I know them:

Full Fast and Modified (includes veggies and "stuff"). This area will answer your questions. If you cannot get spefic info, come back, and I will try and be more specific, or the other folks will chime in before me!!
