Before I had Jake, I ____________

Have fun!

[Emilitoo]

Seems like I;m the first to go here, that can't hurt :

Before I had Jake, I really never thought I would eat shakes for meals. I always saw them as something for guys in the gym. Now I kind of eat shakes almost every day. The world is changing!

Thanks for making the shakes @Jake!

[jeffmc]

That sounds pretty familiar @Emilitoo, although for some reason I don't see the Jake shakes as shakes - though I might just be in denial. Here I go:

Before I had Jake, I was about 20 pounds heavier. I didn't really notice them adding up, but I did notice them coming off. I have Jake for about 2 meals each day (breakfast and lunch) except on the weekends. I've been losing about a pound per week. The best about Jake for me is that you know exactly what you'll eat. Thanks indeed!

[Chris]

Before Jake, I have never eat breakfast.

(My very short contribution).

[Emilitoo]

Haha that's right. I used to use a glass as well, but now I tend to drink it straight from the shaker bottle. If you'd prepare (rice) porridge in a shaker, would your porridge be a shake? /Philosophy

[FrankV]

I don't see myself as a contender here as my contribution isn't funny or really inspiring, but just for the heck of it:

Before I had Jake I used to have a dozen supplements and things to 'complete' my diet. The basis of my diet was pretty standard and clean meals: vegetables, dairy, some meat and a carb source like pasta or rice.

Then I would have a protein shake in the afternoon to add to my daily protein and a dozen of supplements like vitamin D, vitamin B-complex, magnesium, fish oil and ginkgo. I never really liked cooking, but with all these pills and the powder, I felt more like a scientist or a patient.

Now I have Jake and I know I get everything I need. Mostly 1-2 meals per day of Jake and no more supplements. The other meal I just eat what I want to eat - anything. This might be the best thing about it.

[FrankV]

It's true, now you have to hit the gym as well

[Thom]

"Before I had Jake, I had another Jake that I had completely forgotten about, to only realize it halfway. I still emptied the entire thing and now I'm stuffed."

This seriously happened to me yesterday.

[Joey]

Before I had Jake, I had to look around the house for the leaflet as I couldn't find out how much water to use to prepare my shakes. When I had my shake I was pleasantly surprised, this is going to be easy! The taste reminds me of something.

[MrBrown]

Before I had Jake, I wasted so much time on food, it's unbelievable.

[Mayor]

Before I had Jake, I had to get up 15 minutes earlier in the morning..

[ErikTalk]

Before I had Jake, I always fell asleep on the couch after dinner! I am not sure what it is but know I actually feel like going for a run in the evening. So, I could also say: Before I had Jake, I weighed 2.3 kg more!

[Benny]

Before jake, i had queal

[JariKay]

Or is it you?

[Julia]

Fun! I will add mine later! Is 100 words really the max?

[Frank_Official]

Yes! Although it's more like a guideline. Not a problem if it's a bit longer.

[Joanne]

Before I had Jake, I didn't know eating healthy and vegetarian could be this easy! Good job!

[Brice]

Have you ever tried though? Eating vegetarian is incredibly easy, really. All you have to do basically is to not eat meat. I guess eating out or eating at non-vegetarian friends/family could be tricky, but I reckon Jake won't help you with those situations anyways.

[Joanne]

Eating vegetarian wasn't really the problem, but I did have some problems getting all my nutrients when I went living on my own. Especially iron was a tricky one during some days of the month, any experience with that @Brice?

[emilburzo]

Before I had Jake, I could lose weight, but I could never keep it off.
