by Malva » Mon Sep 17, 2007 4:30 pm I've not waivered from MWL for the past year, as I find it is the easiest plan to stick with when not deviating to foods that have addictive qualities.
It was never my intention to lose another 10 lbs, but the extra exercise eats up a good many of the calories that I consume.
I eat whole foods, no loose oils or fats, no beans and no bread.
Mainly vegetables, grains and fruit.
I will use a product called VEGA during my long (over 15 miles) training sessions. It's a meal replacement drink that I mix with water and fruit in a blender.
The reason I use the liquid drink is because if I eat foods before or during a race or training I tend to lose bowel control.
Often refered to as runner's diahrea. (sp?) [blech!]
The liquid meal keeps my muscles fed, no hunger, no exhaustion, and no bowel problems.
VEGA is composed of: hemp and yellow peas, essential fatty acids, chlorella, gelatinized vegan maca, berry complex, vitamins and minerals, dairy-free probiotics and digestive enzymes. Not a MWL program food for those wanting to lose weight. This is a good option for me as I do not want to lose more weight.

I cant digest oils at all as I would get diarrhea for sure.
