Based on your personal, medical and social needs, select the program option that fits best for you.

5 and 1 Plan (includes one meal a day)

• Five nutritional products per day
• One "lean and green" meal of meat and salad or vegetables per day
• Great option if you have family or social obligations that include food.

Complete Plan (no regular food, just packets)

• Six nutritional products per day
• No regular food, just meal replacements
• For people who need to lose a lot of weight or who want to avoid all food choices

Alternating between plans

It's perfectly fine to alternate between the two plans if you wish.
For example, you might do the complete program during the week,
then switch to the 5 and 1 plan on weekends or special occasions.

Or you might use the complete program to "jump start" your progress,
then switch to the 5 and 1 plan later. Weight loss tends to average
about a half pound per week faster on the complete program than
on the 5 and 1 plan.

Fluids

With both program options, we encourage you to drink 6 to 8 glasses
of water a day in addition to the amount you use for mixing your packets.

You can also drink unlimited amounts of non-caloric beverages
including coffee or decaf, tea, diet sodas and bouillon.

Snacks

If you need to chew, you can munch on celery (up to two stalks per day)
or eat a couple of small dill pickles. You can also have one or two servings
of sugar-free gelatin per day.
