Nutrition Class

Today is the day I've been waiting for...the last day of PREP and the Nutrition Class! I had the usual boiled eggs, oranges and ground beef today and thankfully the time flew by and by the time I knew it, it was time for my class.

Overall, the class was very informative. I received a lot of information on what to eat. It breaks down to the following daily:

2 proteins

2 starches

2 fruits

4 vegetables

1 fat

2 S4L supplements (high protein snacks)

I'll also be taking the following pills daily:

1 metabolizer 30 min before each meal

1 carb blocker 30 min before each meal

1 multi vitamin

1 fish oil before 30 min every meal and 6 before I go to bed (this is the only one I found excessive)

I have to increase the metabolizer and carb blocker to 2 before each meal after Day 3 on my diet, but that's really the only change. They also gave me recipes to look at which looked pretty good. I ended up leaving with a folder full of information. This will make for good stuff to look over later. 

At the end of the nutrition class they determine how much of everything you will need to get through your weight loss and offer you a 30% discount on all of it if you buy it now. My grand total was over $1,300!! Needless to say, I smiled and said "no thank you".

I was confused though because I thought I would get 30% off whatever I purchased that day. I said I was willing to spend $75 (thinking I would get $22.50 off with the discount). It didn't work that way though and they told me I had to spend over $350 to get the discount. I ended up getting their "special" 5 supplements for $75. I wasn't smart enough to do the math right there or else I would have realized it was just $1 off per box! Geez, thanks S4L for saving me $5 dollars. In the future I will definitely be looking for similar items instead of buying these. For my $75 I left with peanut butter bars, hot chocolate mix, strawberry jello, wildberry drink mix and caramel crunch. 

Despite the shopping experience though, everyone at the center was very helpful. I am anxious and eager to get started and the second part of this diet. I hope I can do it!
