It's a wonderful program that WORKS!<br /><br />What I wanted to tell you is that I go out to eat at least once a week. And I stay on plan. There are so many options if you go to the right places. I usually order grilled fish (no creamy sauces), steak, or chicken. I ask for extra steamed veggies instead of rice, potatoes, or pasta. I usually ask them not to add the sauce or the butter or the fattening part, but I still want the seasoning. If I order a salad, I have them leave off the croutons or nuts or chips. Yes, it's a hassle to special order, but they don't seem to mind and I get what I want.<br /><br />I love to eat out, but I don't want to blow it. It works for me! :)Jocelyn - Henry's Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11207468996318904764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314226328477478317.post-65933444177124346012010-03-06T09:24:33.158-08:002010-03-06T09:24:33.158-08:00I started Medifast last week and so far I really l...I started Medifast last week and so far I really like it!

But in general, it's never the last opportunity to eat something that tastes good. This concept is something I got from reading an interview with a food critic who was asked how she kept her weight down. It really made a difference in how I viewed eating.Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931380770342598889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314226328477478317.post-5824379628331618322010-03-05T18:09:32.164-08:002010-03-05T18:09:32.164-08:00interested to follow this. i had a medifast consul...interested to follow this. i had a medifast consultation, but honestly, didn't think i had the discipline to stick to it and never started it. i like your perspective of taking yourself off the grid with food choices. makes good sense. and it's not forever. will keep reading.. ..txsjewelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02324113472123937181noreply@blogger.com
