I'm actually thinking about trying out meal replacement shakes. I'm just wondering how long I can stay on it before I go completely insane. You'd think it'd be enough to have one meal of real food, plus healthy snacks in between 2 shakes.
I was reading up on them and one site recommended always adding fruit or something to the mix, otherwise you'd be missing out on necessary nutrients; which makes sense.
I'm wondering if I can just buy a protein powder from a health store and go from there, instead of purchasing pre-packaged, weight-loss marketed shake mixes.
Has anyone tried this diet before? What are your thoughts or suggestions?

2012
Happy New Year, everyone!
Once again, it's been a while. And once again, I've fallen off the band wagon. But what better excuse to jump back on than a New Year's Resolution? You only truly fail when you stop trying, right?
So, I resolve to get back with the program and update this blog more often. Although this time around I might try things a little differently than my last entry.
I have to make a conscious effort to consume less fast food, as well as microwavable dishes. I'll keep them stocked for convenience, but really, the best thing I can do for myself is cook, which I've spent the last 24 hours doing and it feels good; dirty dishes exempt...
I regret not taking pictures of the meal I just made, but it surprisingly hit the spot! I pan fried a couple of vegetable potstickers and steamed a bit of kale, which I topped with Asian sesame dressing.
For those of you who live near a Trader Joe's, they've recently started carrying bagged and precut kale for your convenience, so make sure to pick one up next time you're at the market ;)
Btw, everyone should check out this blog I've recently stumbled upon: http://thewitchykitchen.blogspot.com/ I am absolutely in love with it! Vegetarian, Healthy, and Magical; exactly what I'd like my life to look like.
