Bill's 20/20 Lifestyle Program

First thing's first: I have not found a shake combination that tastes good yet. I've tried several combinations, mostly using the vanilla flavored shake, and they are pretty bad. I talked to an associate who did the plan, and he swore by a combination I've not tried yet: chocolate flavored mix with raspberries. I've got a chocolate packet and will try this combo later today.

In the meantime, I've got to get down a bunch of vanilla flavored shakes. Last night I discovered a technique that actually helps. The shakes are pretty thick, especially if you add ice to the mix. If you work it right, you can more or less pour the shake straight down your throat. This means little to no interaction with the taste buds!

I know that this is not a long term solution, but at least it can keep me going until I figure out a good tasting shake combination.

FYI: Jeff Newfeld's Palletable 20/20 Shake Recipe: Use 12 oz. water, 1/2 cup raspberries, and a chocolate shake mix. Do NOT add ice. Put it all in the blender and mix well. The breakfast version of the shake adds 1 tbsp. of peanut butter and 1 tsp. of fiber powder. Bon appetit!
