The food varies for me. They have oatmeal that to me tastes similar to instant oatmeal - I don't add anything to the oatmeal. They have soups and chili, and by themselves they are pretty bland, but there's a list of allowable condiments you can use to spice things up. I add tabasco and other hot sauces to the sups and chili and then it's pretty good. They also have pudding that I don't like at all. There is enough of a variety that I have found the things I like and stick to those. The best things are the shakes. I use shakes as 3 of my 5 prepackaged meals per day. Everything hey offer, from the oatmeals, eggs, soups, drinks, pudding, etc. is filled with the same nutritional value so you can have any combination you like for your 5 meals. Many people drink 5 shakes a day, but I like some substance once in a while.

The salad and meat meal is the best time of the day.

The biggest change is the portion size. I was eating like a friggin' pig before and was hesitant mainly because I didn't think I could do it with the portion sizes. But after those first 3 days when my body adjusted, it has been really easy. It is tough sometimes when my kid eats pizza and tacos, but the rewards are too good to go back to what I was before. Like any diet it takes a big commitment and willpower. The fact that this diet produces such fast results, it makes it a lot easier to find motivation to stick with it.
