I haven't drank one in awhile but I used to buy them to take to work for lunch. I preferred the ones that were already made. They aren't as easy to find in a 12 pack carton these days. Not sure why....

I just read a bit about it since I was curious. It's mainly no carbs at all until you get to the second phase and then you can add in certain "approved" vegetables.

One of my favorite snacks is hummus. You can dip any kind of healthy raw veggie or be a little naughty and dip tortilla chips. I also use hummus as a spread for sandwiches rather than mayo.

They aren't too satisfying, but they do the job if you need help with portion control. Otherwise, I tend to stay away from prepackaged foods if I can help it because of all the additives. I'd say...
