Let the "Hunger Games" begin...

Posted by supergeek

Yesterday afternoon I got my drop shipment of a month's worth of "Diabetic Plus" food from Medifast. So, I started the diet this morning with the blue berry oatmeal.

It didn't look like any instant oatmeal I have ever seen before. It looks more like plaster of paris mix with some blue things in it. It cooked up into a rather gelatinous blob which I managed to eat. Tomorrow I will try more water. I have 4 boxes of the stuff so I better get used to it.

The chili that I had for lunch was bland but at least looked like most vegetarian chili that I have had in the past.

I also had 2 of the chocolate mint bars. They were actually rather good. My only complaint is that they are very tiny.

I don't feel hungry although I would like some actual food. I get to have 1 "normal" meal per day, a "lean and green" meal consisting 6 oz of lean meat or tofu and 3 servings of low carb vegetables. I can also use some oil (olive, canola, good fats) to saute the food. I don't want to go shopping today because I think it will be too much of a temptation. So I am going to have an egg-white omelet with spinach.
