If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that." -- said the White Queen to Alice in Through the Looking Glass	# Posted: 2 Jun 2008 23:00 At the risk of sounding like a spammer, has anyone tried this? Famous last words. There are two Health Kit packages that run $85 for what appears to be a 12-day supply of food (36 assorted packages with each kit). That's only $7 a day, and looks to be a pretty easy way to get jump-started into eating more healthy food. If it's anything like NutriSystem or another program, it probably requires that you supplement the food with big leafy green salads -- I couldn't really find enough info on the kits from the website. If you're not familiar with Dr. McDougall, he espouses an ultra-low fat 100% vegan diet as a way to permanently lose weight and stay healthy. If you have tried this, I'd be curious as to the following: * Is this kit all inclusive, or do you supplement it with salads, etc? * What is the calorie count per day? If I ever get that NY job, I might even be able to afford one of his Costa Rica vacations!

I just found my answer. Apparently "everything you need" means "we've included a cookbook - now go out, buy stuff, and start cooking". So not exactly all-inclusive. I was expecting 10 days of just-add-water and nuke goodness. Silly me. Well, it's back to oatmeal and Saladworks for me... Thanks TNM -- yeah, I guess I'm just feeling really lazy and wondering how I can advance to the next stage of healthful eating without too much effort. The last time I tried cooking, my wife made weird faces and refused to eat it.
