Jeff has been eating the Medifast meals in his attempt to drop 50 pounds. The cool thing about the Medifast program is that you eat 5 of the Medifast meals a day but unlike a lot of the other weight loss programs out there, you still get to enjoy a regular meal each day as well. So in Jeff’s case, his regular meal for Thanksgiving was all the traditional dishes that people usually eat. Turkey, green bean casserole, stuffing, etc.

While Jeff is suppose to eat only five to seven ounces of a lean protein coupled with two cups of veggies for his regular meal, he definitely exceeded that on Thanksgiving. While this is a bit of a set back, it is also real life. The holiday meals are definitely difficult to stay on track with, and I don’t think Jeff expected any different. The good news is that he’s back on track today with his eating and will be back to his regular two-times-a-week workouts next week. Keep on keepin’ on, Jeff!
