The Great Experiment

Hey all!  I wanted to let everyone know that I am not going to be using Medifast products for the next month.  I want to try an experiment where I follow the 5/1 plan but use alternative products. I am doing this to try to save money. I am estimating this will cost about $100 a month plus the cost for Lean and Green meals.

Since this blog is dedicated to Medifast, I started a new blog dedicated to my experiment.  All the details on my menus, progress & products are found on the new blog:
