You had me at Cocoa

My Dear Darling Medifast,

I am going to cancel my "gluten free variety pack" auto shipment. I don't want it. I don't want variety. All I want is your hot cocoa! Forever and ever and ever, amen.

Can I do that medifast? Can I skip the 5 meals a day of bitter oatmeal, vomit-like soup and funky tasting shakes and simply bask in the chocolately love of your hot cocoa? Nutritionally, all of these products are the same, right? I am honestly going to research this Medifast, because I could live on your cocoa love forever.

The hot cocoa gets 4 stars. Heck, I'll give it 5. It's divine. Heavenly. Sent straight from God Himself. Ok, that may be stretching, but it really is fantastic and I suspect this has something to do with it being one of the only soy free products they carry. I really hate soy and with my hormonal issues (which we will discuss another time), I would prefer to avoid it as much as possible- not make it the center of my diet.

A quick visit to the Medifast web site gave me this tidbit of information:

Can I use Medifast Meals interchangeably?

One of the great benefits of Medifast Meals is that they may be used interchangeably, so you can choose any five Medifast Meals you want for the 5 & 1 Plan.

And yes, the cocoa is considered a meal! I checked on that too. I doubted my ability to stay on this plan, not only because of the unpleasant food, but the large consumption of soy. Knowing that I can still do this plan without the soy and the ick factor is lighting a new fire under me!

From doubt to bliss,
McFluffin
