Searching Doha...

I am so exhausted! We went out today in search of a meal replacement shake for me to incorporate into my diet. We went to GNC only to find a slim selection and high prices. The sales person was clueless too. We ended up at Carrefour where we actually found SlimFast. I was happy! It would have been better if they had chocolate flavor but Im not complaining. So, my plan is changing as of tomorrow. Here's the new plan, insha'Allah:

Shake for breakfast, soup for lunch, small nutritious meal for dinner. For my snacks I can have soup, tea, coffee, juice. Im still trying to keep it mostly liquid, as that seems to be working with the shrinking my stomach. Don't forget lots and lots of H2O. I can drink diet soda but not often. 

I got some sweetener to help me lower my already low sugar intake, insha'Allah that will help too. My next scheduled break day will be Friday, February 12th, Insha'Allah.
I am so excited to be doing this and I am pleased to have the support of my family and friends. Thanks for reading!

  1. You might want to try Megamart, as I've seen slimfast there. Keep in mind that pre-packaged meal replacement shakes aren't your only option. You can whip up smoothies or other health, or calorie susbtitutes yourself for a fraction of the cost. Are you taking a multi-vitamin?

  2. I'm not taking a multi-vitamin, maybe I should look into that. Do you know of any recepies for those types of shakes? Or maybe just a website...
    thanks for the info!

  3. you can always try a banana, milk, and some ice. I like the tastes of milk so i don't need any sugar plus the banana gives just a hint of sweetness. If you want it sweet try a tad bit of honey in sha Allah ;)
