UnderWAY and Smart for Life

 We went to a friend’s house tonight for dinner.  It had been awhile since we had seen them and I was surprised at how great she looked.  With three kids, 6 and under, I was amazed that she could lose weight and get fit!  I myself haven’t been feeling the greatest about my appearance.  Standing at a nice, willowy 5’9”, people always refer to me a thin.  But I realized today that in the past 10 years, I put on 40+ lbs.  I have gone up far too many sizes and despise the fat stomach, flabby arms, and large butt.  No matter my excuses (years of fertility meds, three pregnancies in a year and a half (with no baby to show for it), eating poorly, not exercising…), changes needed to be made and soon.

 Around this time, I received a package to review from UnderWAY and Smart for Life.  The brochure said, “Lose up to 15 lbs in 4 weeks eating healthy, all natural Smart Foods.”  I was intrigued.  By following the program, eating and drinking the hunger busting foods and a smart dinner, you could lose weight without the normal hunger pains.  I was skeptical…my husband was not.  He’s a meal supplement kind of guy.  So, we both gave it a try for a day (using the samples provided).  I have to say I was surprised…the food was good.  You must eat their cookies (yes, you read that correctly) 6 times a day.  This keeps you from getting either ravenous or too full.  Their drinks, underWAY, taste great!  They come in three flavors and contain HeroFiber, whose name makes me giggle and imagine a drink bottle in superhero clothing.  J  And since I am a no caffeine girl, I love that it’s a decaf choice. The hubby is in love with the food and has claimed the rest of the box for himself.  (It’s my review,so we’ll see about that!)

 My only issue with the whole program is the no fruit requirement.  They address this in the brochure and I understand the necessity of it (all that natural sugar!!), but I love fruits and just about the only time we get fresh, ripe fruits in Western PA is right now, in the summer.  So, if I’m going to follow this program to the letter, it won’t be until fall when the fruit pickings are slim.

 The cookies and drinks certainly did keep me from being hungry.  It reminded me to make better choices at the dinner meal, too.  So, those 40 lbs I’m looking to lose?  I think between this and getting my butt off the couch, I’ve found a way to get my body back.  And I get to eat cookies-how cool is that?!
