​@MeredithShirkandSvelteTraining can I substitute the almond milk with coconut milk?

[@cathywood115]

I put my spinach, from a plastic box container, in the freezer - the whole box. Then, when I use it in a smoothie it blends completely because the frozen leaves break up quickly and smoothly :)

I love how you explain how we won't taste the spinach. Not that I wouldn't try it anyway but that simple comment made want to try it like- tomorrow. Love how you explained that almond butter from the store has other stuff (I assume undesirable stuff) in it. Just love these types of quick videos.

I did the Metaboost program and lost 13 lbs also! I am now one week further on and down another 2lbs. I am feeling so much better and actually eating MORE than I was before. So glad I found this informative and practical way to make effective changes!

[@MeredithShirkandSvelteTraining]

Congrats!! Keep up the awesome job🥰💜

[@jennifermcgarrity7169]

I have done the meta boost plan 4 times now and have only lost 16 pounds in that entire time. You said you’ve moved on, but to what? I have no idea how to combine foods or what food types should be eaten together. For example, do I eat veggies with every meal, when do I eat fats with a meal, etc. I didn’t find that this plan taught me how to eat beyond the diet. Can you give me ideas of how you moved on past metaboost?

[@seanstevenson8669]

I've done the metaboost and the belly buster and lost one pound. How did you lose that much? I'm trying to continue but now I slip because of a number of considerations: cost, time, practicality, lack of ingredients etc... It's hard to keep this diet going long term. I have to ask are you for real or another sales technique?

[@CARMENMARTINEZ-kb6jk]

Hi Meredith,Thank you for your time and advise.I just started following you and you have so many interesting meal plans ,I love it but I’m not sure which would work for me?I do have a question because I am only trying to loose this stubborn belly fat and I’m not sure what would only attack that area ?Do you have any suggestions for me ?

Is there another alternate to kale as well? Thank you Mere! There is a 25mm kidney stone in the kidney of this body. I try not to claim it, lol! So, are there any other greens besides kale I could use that has even less oxalates? Is there a green veggie or ANY other veggie that has no oxalates?

Liked the weight loss shake, I used cinnamon, but the flavor was overwhelming. I also used cacao nibs.

[@katetasseron481]

Hi Mere. Do you add water/almond milk to the almonds in a blender to get a butter-like consistency?

[@MeredithShirkandSvelteTraining]

Hi Kate! To achieve a butter-like consistency when blending almonds, you can add a small amount of water or almond milk, depending on your preference. This helps in the blending process and creates a smoother texture. Just be cautious about the proportions to maintain the desired consistency. Enjoy your delicious chocolate weight-loss smoothie! 😋🍫

I tried this today , goofed up , I put in about 1/4 cup a avocado) I tried to do from memory :( hope I didn’t Negate the results

[@MeredithShirkandSvelteTraining]

No worries at all! Experimenting is all part of the fun. Avocado can add creaminess and a unique taste, so your creation might turn out to be a delightful twist on the original. If the results aren't exactly as expected, it's all part of the learning process. Enjoy!
