Did anyone have a hard time with the Medifast diet?

I am on my second week of the 6 week 5 shakes a day, they are filling but I still am picking at food. I am having a hard time with not eating. I am the one who cooks the meals in my house an tonight it was so hard not to taste or eat what I was making. I love sweets an thats all there is in my house the temptation is always there. I live with people that do not have the same weight promble as me so I cant not tell them dont buy that, just wondering if anyone has any helpful tips to help me get back on track?

I just finished my 10th day of a 3 week, 800 calorie a day, Optifast diet and have not been hungry at all. I honestly miss cooking food more than I miss eating it.

I've lost a lot of weight already and am determined to keep going.

I don't think a little picking is going to kill you but I would ask them not to bring sweets in the house. If they are sympathetic, they will understand. If they continue, then you just stop cooking.

Hang in there and keep the picking to a minimum.

I don't know if you have kids in the house or not but with just my husband here, I told him he would have to fend for himself while I was doing the liquids. He managed. I just decided it was time for me to be selfish and did what I had to do. We all have to learn to be selfish once in a while. Good luck!

Chew gum while you cook or brush your teeth just before cooking. It makes food taste nasty for a little while. If I start craving something I will brush my teeth.
