Hello Yes you have to weigh before or you may be unknowingly adding calories. For roasted potato and chicken, weigh it all raw. Uncooked potato, raw chicken, oil, everything . That’s the only way to ensure you have the right calorie count

Tempeh is also really good for fiber and protein but what you and I consider low vs high calorie may differ. Vega (a vegan protein supplement) and Ultimate Daily Cleanse (a fiber supplement) are also weekly mainstays in my MFP food logs. [/quote] Hello, Please is ultimate daily cleanse a pill?

Thanks all, i'll follow the recommendation

Melanie...100% agree. This is cleanse is really more about psychological/emotional reset more than anything. I agree with you on this

15yrs :-)

Probably...I'm about to find out. I'm sure I'll be miserable. If I come back here crying "I expect love and sympathy, regardless :-)

I agree. I suspect I got complacent. I was doing very good. Exercising regularly, still exercise regularly. had a balanced habit and then fell off track, I knew I was falling off track and kept going, thinking, its all good, i'll bounce back quickly. Suddenly I'm in a state where I noticed, Dang it...I can't get back on.…

Honestly I think its probably the convenience that will make me stick with it. The convenience will get me over the hump and back to measuring and making better choices. I have a fairly good idea how I got to this point and will make sure it does not happen again. I just need that extra help. I normally don't recommend…

Vintage, I tried committing. It did not work. That in itself is extremely unusual for me the lack of will power. I know enough to know I need to put some breaks on this time. The cleanse for me, I don't think is a bad idea. Reality is that I do not disagree with all the feedback that has been sent. I'm doing smoothie and…

That's what I'm hoping

That's how I expect to feel over the next 3-5 days :-)

Good Questions!. YES...I'm sure I'll complete the cleanse. That's the only thing I'm sure off. I need the cleanse simple to get my motivation back on. The rest after that is up to me. I'm normally very good with control. I have been for the last 5yrs, so I don't expect it to be a problem going forward. I have absolutely no…

I choose to do it 4 weeks ago. I am still "choosing" and not "doing". Yes...I lack will power this time. I have identified this already, hence the alternative. Trust me when I say I am dragging my self to do this cleanse. I know me. I normally have will power. This time I am really struggling and after 4 weeks. I raise my…

Naaaa....Not really. I maintained for 3yrs

True.

Good point. My regular jumpstart is the 4 Day Flat Belly Jump Start Diet. The problem this time is that I have ZERO desire to do it this time. Don't know why. I just know I have been thinking about doing it for the last 4 weeks, keep procrastinating and continuing the bad habit. I know jumpstart does help to get me off the…

I agree, remember I'm doing this to jump start. I do not think cleansing is a sustainable way to lose weight

Thanks and I agree, that's the reason I want to give it a try. I considered trying to do the smoothies myself at home, but knowing myself...i'll use it as an excuse not to do it at all. I'll see how the home purchase smoothies work. I'm keeping my fingers crossed but putting my mind to it for sure. I need all the luck I…

True That...

Thanks, I appreciate it. I start tomorrow so i'll know pretty quickly in one week if it at least helped with jump starting. aghhhhhhh I feel sick already thinking about starting it :-(. Oh well....I plan to jump in with both feet

Thanks Stacy. I believe you have more eloquently stated what I have been trying to say better than I did.

Me too...I assure you. I recognize the contradiction. But it may work :-)

All Thanks for the feedback. I do appreciate the response and also the science. I do read it. When I said the general consensus is not to go store bought. I was referring specifically to the query on Naked Juice Vs Store Bought Vs Juice from the Raw (which is not store bought). My perceived consensus of the feedback is “do…

This is great. Thank you

also cut it down to 6 days. I'm going to be miserably for the next 6 days

ok, general consensus seems to be...do not go with store bought one's. Thanks Y'all. I'll order online

LOL. I'm going to send this to my friend who recommended the cleanse. it is definitely expensive. I'm hoping, I only need to do it one time

You might be right, but I know when I need help and right now I need it for sure. I'm spending the same amount of money eating junk anyway

Thanks, I'll look into this
