I'm cutecherry23 and a newbie! I would like to share my journey!

This diet was a life saver for me and really changed my life! I'm a size 12 now and was a size 16 to 18 before!
I feel much more confident now and life is more fun

I'm eating normal since a good month now and haven't put on any weight, i even sometimes lose some
I eat what i want, i just don't eat as much as i used to and try to eat low fat and lots of fruits and veggies and it works!

Just want to wish everyone good luck and you all can do it!

hey all!

I really don't know if anyone will read this as it's gone very quiet in this forum....
I'm eating proper food now and only have a meal replacement every now and then, not even every day but
i shed another 3 lbs to my surprise!! on my first week on normal food i put 2lbs on but last week i must have lost
5lbs, maybe my body just had to get used to food again!
I eat muesli with pouring yoghurt for breakfast and that lasts me until lunch, which is normally half a can of soup with
a slice of granary bread, a small fat free yoghurt and some fruits. In the afternoon i have some fruit and for tea i have
a low calorie meal like chicken with a nice salad or a baked potato with beans, or fish, potatoes and veggies...all small portions
and i try to have low fat and sugar food. If i get hungry between my meals i just have some fruits!

Good luck to everyone with this diet!

Hey all!

Had my 7th weigh in on sunday, didnt lose anything but didnt gain either.
I'm off Ketosis now and have some meal replacement meals but also salads with tuna or chicken
or some soup with granary bread or yoghurt.
Really need to take it slow as i start feeling sick when i introduce food to quick or eat too much.
I also find that i dont like certain foods anymore, had basically just a drop of gravy on my veggies
and nearly was sick! lol

Going on a shopping trip on saturday as none of my trousers fit anymore
lost 1 1/2 Stone now and try to keep them off.

Hello everyone!

First of all happy easter!!!
Hope all those sweets and treats don't get you! Nasty time

Just had my 6th weigh in and dropped another 3lbs even tho i went up on the kee lite plan
and had a bbq (well just veggies and chicken)!
Will stay another week on kee lite and then might go up on the Social kee/ Etiquette 1 plan.

Kerstin x

Totally agree, 21 BMI is very low, you should never let your BMI fall below 20, it is worth also remembering that it is better to opt for an acheivable maintenance figure that you can control, set your lowest weight, a Take Care Zone (about 3lb higher) and then an Action Zone which could be 4lb higher. This then allows you to not worry about every single pound but keep things in prospective.

Enjoy your new meal and remember portion control, regular meals, healthy eating and keep up with the water.

Just had my 5th weigh in and i'm very pleased once again
4lbs less that makes a total of 21lbs which means i'm halfway thorugh!!
but i reckon i ask a bit much with my BMI of 21 as a goal...
My current one is now 24.7 so i start having a light meal from next week on
and will slowly reintroduce food...will see how much drops then,
with another 8-10 lbs less i would be happy to maintain my weight, another 21 lbs is just too much loss i guess.

Happy days

yes i was quite pleased with myself!
My partner had a chicken legend menu and a milkshake and i loove the chicken legend!

But after we figured out that he had almost 1600 kcal and i only about 150 i didnt mind anymore lol

Bet you felt so pleased with yourself and others wilted with their 1000kcal snack sitting in front of them.

Shows you are convicted to your plan and want the weight loss more than a burger that will taste good for possibly 2 mins, then you continue to eat because you have it, you paid for it and you have already started it now, but somewhere in the back of your mind you are kicking yourself.

Well Done.

Hey Roy

Haha it sounds familiar with McD's!
When i ordered the salad the guy had to make sure if they have it and it took quite
a while until it was prepared and when it finally was finished the guy who prepared it
shouted through the whole restaurant "SALAAAAAAAAAAD!" even tho i was standing in front
of him lol don't know why they make such a fuss about it, it's on their menu!
Some people are just stupid

Kerstin x

Hi Kerstin,

Well done on the further 3lb weight loss.

I've found the McD's chicken salad to be a handy lifesaver if you're out and about and caught short as it were without your kee. That said, I have found that one McD's didn't do them despite having them on the Menu, and in another I caused mass confusion by ordering one. It took them ages to find it to place the order on the till, and then took about 15 Minutes to prepare!

Continued good wished for your journey. Roy.

Hello everyone!

Just had my 4th weigh in and lost another 3 pounds!
Quite happy as i nibbled on some cheese or had a crisp for the flavour when others had some lol
Had a McDonalds Grilled Chicken Salad aswell which to my surprise only had 115 kcal and was high in
protein and low in fat and carbs, the dressing was 23 kcal so all in all not a really bad thing and it was soooo tasty
Of course i had a meal pack less that day

Now that the weather is sooo nice and warm i feel really good and dont feel hungry or think of eating at all

Kerstin x

Hi everyone!

In week 4 now and i find it quite hard to resist this week!
When i do my partners sandwiches for work i cant resist having a little piece of cheese
or when everyone is eating pork scratchings or crisps i need to have one just for the flavour!

I hope it doesnt affect my weight loss as its always just one little piece, i have to taste the flavour
but it's quite annoying because i feel bad afterwards!

I have to say i really cheated nearly 2 weeks ago when i was at a party and had a few glasses vodka diet coke...ooooops!!!
but thankfully it didnt affect my weight loss and i even stayed in ketosis! lucky me!!! But i think i wont risk it again! lol

Mothersday i had a Nutrisaveur meal whilst everyone had a roast dinner!! It actually was quite nice (had the italian pasta and chicken one)
but i had some exta veggies with it even tho it says that the daily veg allowance is included.

I feel like i put on some weight or at least haven't lost any...well i will see on sunday...

Happy weight losing everyone!

Kerstin x

Hi Kerstin,

A stone lost already. Well done.

Roy.

thanks Tracy


x

Told you not to panic!!!

WELL DONE!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for your support!

Just had my 3rd weigh in and i lost a stone now!

Really pleased with it!!!
And haven't done another wee test lol

Kerstin x

hey,

try again on your first pee of the morning. This much water and it's barely even pee and more TMI? ha ha

Kerstin,

CALM DOWN!!! Don't panic...it could have just been a dodgy kee stick did you try another one? Also, be aware that if you have really done well with your water this week you wee won't be that strong and may not be so strong in ketones.

I bet you are going to have a FAB weight loss this week...I don't even bother with those sticks anymore

PLEASE try not to get upset...if you are sticking with the plan it is opretty impossible not to lose anything.

Chin up and look forward to Sunday

Tracy

I just checked if i'm still in ketosis and got a right shock when the colour on the stick didnt change one bit!!!

I really stick to the plan and dont have anything else to eat or drink!!

I just had once a cup of tea with sweetener and the green milk (1,7%) but can that dash of milk really kick me
out of ketosis???

I'm quite gutted and not looking forward to my weigh in on sunday now

Kerstin x

Thanks for your support Tracy and admin!

I better use protection from now on

I just want to say that i'm really used to the meal packs now, i don't feel hungry at all, sometimes
i nearly forget to have 4 meals!!
The only thing that is causing me trouble is to drink enough water...
Any tips how to increase my water intake??
Maybe i'll lose 1 or 2 pounds more when i drink more

Kerstin x

Well Done Cherry,

On average after your first week you will only lose 3/4 per week on a VLCD but that still double what you would lose doing anything else.

Also I concur with admin on the fertility side of things Iconceived my 2nd whilst doing this diet last time and whilst on the mini pill...my partner thought I had been forgetting to take my pill and everything until the doctor explained that it couldhave been down to the diet and the 5 stone weight loss...so fingers crossed for you...but I won't worry now I've be done

Tracy x

Just had my 2nd weigh in.. lost 3 pounds last week....
I was a bit disappointed after the 7 pounds from the week before....
Well i'm on my period aswell at the moment and you gain a bit of weight during
that time of the month so i just hope that my weigh in next week will have a better result!

No probs, there is lots of info on the webstore relating to common side affects. All info is available via the top home page link "Kee Guidance & Info"

Hope helped,

Good to know that i should use extra protection....
let's hope nothing happened so far!!

Whilst on a KeeDiet meal replacement programme there could be a temporary change in the menstrual cycle. Your menstrual cycle and hormone levels fluctuate when there are changes in weight – particularly in women.
For most, the menstrual cycle is not affected, but in some women breakthrough bleeding may occur. Others may find that their periods stop for a while. Fertility may also be changed and unexpected pregnancies do occur, thus even if a woman has been trying unsuccessfully to become pregnant she needs to be wary of the fact that during and after weight loss her fertility may increase. Rapid weight-loss with very low calorie diets may temporarily affect the menstrual cycle patterns; ovulation, however is probably not interrupted. The metabolism of contraceptive pills may be affected during effective weight loss so extra care may be needed.

Hi all!

I nearly gave up with the diet as i had the flu the last 3 days and i really felt bad....
i was dizzy all the time, had a headache and was sweating or freezing and really quick out of breath...
I drunk more than 2 litres of water a day but it didnt help much so i thought it might be better to stay off
the diet until i feel better.
Luckily i stayed on the diet and after 3 bad days i finally feel better now!

I have a question and maybe someone of you experienced the same...
I'm taking the contraceptive pill and have 1 day left and would be due for my menstruation in 4 days
but i started bleeding today...is it the low calorie intake that messes it up? never had it before!

Kerstin x

Great News, keep it going now and focus on the next week, and the weight will continue to fall off

xx

First time on the scales and 7 pounds less in a week!!!

Happy happy happy!!!

Glad it helped, yes the spag bol idea is used by many, cottage pie works well in a marrow or large cabbage leaf with cauli and broccolli as an accompliment. Be adventurous !!

Thanks for your advise, it really helped! I guess when having a soup i will just eat some cucumber with it. Your idea uf spag bo in a mushroom with salad sounds nice too!

Only 2 more days until my first weigh in

Thanks x

Sorry to confuse you. You can in theory use your daily allowance of veg/salad how you want. I believe the message previously given was homing in on your desire to snack on veg / salad, which you can do if you wish, but we would suggest to use the experience of VLCD to make new good eating habits and snacking as mentioned can be dangerous once back to conventional eating.

You can use veg/allowance alongside your products in one sitting, for example if having one of the hot meals "Spag Bol" you may wish to serve in a flat mushroom with green salads as a side dish. You may just wish to have a salad on its own at sometime throughout the day. Or you may wish to have your products on their own and include 2 snack meals of just veg / salad.
ie. Breakfast - Porridge / Salad Snack - 25kcal / Lunch - Soup / Salad Snack - 25kcal / Evening Meal - Spag Bol / Evening Snack - Hot Chocolate.

You are therefore eating 6x each day. You are therefore having 3 meals and 3 healthy snacks, eating often healthy foods can accelerate weight loss as your body is continuously working to digest and burn fat.

Hope this has helped

Sorry for asking, i just want to make sure....so i split up the veg allowance and eat them with 2 foodpacks and have another 2 foodpacks left for the day?? or do i replace 2 meals with veg???
I just dont want to do anything wrong!

I had an onion soup today, the best soup so far and no bits


Kerstin x

Well Done - Ketosis is Marvelooooooous ....

Re Veg/Salad, yes on the Rapid Burn plan we state that up to 50kcal is required each day, this helps with nutrients, fibre etc and can make dieting a whole lot easier. You can choose from a wide range as shown. Cucumber is allowed, we do suggest that it is taken as a meal or possible split into 2x meals as part of a VLCD is re-educating your eating habits. Picking and snacking is a very dangerous habit to form.

Possibly consider having the veg allowance and two sittings and therefore this will become a healthy habit and help you maintain once at target weight.

I just had my last meal for today which i didn't really need because i wasn't feeling hungry. I actually feel like i put on some weight???
but i only had 3 meals today so had a broccoli soup before i go to bed. The soup had the same weird texture as the tomato soup...those white bits....i have about 3 more different samples but if they are all like that i will stay off soup!!!

I just did a ketone check and i'm finally in ketosis (did a test last night but there wasnt a change in colour and now its a nice pink)!!!

I'm really happy about that
Can't wait for my first weigh in on sunday!

I have a question: i think i read that you can have some vegetables in small amounts once a day....i only would like to eat cucumber some time just to have something to nibble at...do i have to eat them at one time or can i nibble during the day?? can i have it with a meal???

I would be thankful for any advise!!

Kerstin x

Yes the treats and nibbles are the hardest to avoid, but we generally eat these not out of hunger but out of habit or emotions.

One of the advantages of a VLCD is that whilst following you must identify when you are called to eat, what was the reason you fancied food, was it a certain food, a particular time of day, a certain smell that started you thinking about foods, did you feel stressed, tired, unhappy. Identify how you feel at this time, learn to identify that you are not physically hungry and register that you are feeding your emotions instead, remember how you feel when you don't give in to your emotions, how much will-power you have and how strong you can be, I bet you will feel chuffed.

All these and more are reasons people eat when not hungry and it is identifying and changing your habits around food that will keep the weight off. VLCD will get the weight of fast, but it is really what you do after and what you have learnt whilst following that is going to help you maintain that new slimmer figure.

Keep going Kerstin, what a great discovery journey you have embarked on and whilst learning you are creating a New Kerstin

Thank you all for your support!
I'm on day 2 now and i'm quite surprised that i don't feel like starving!

I had a maple porridge for breakfast this morning at 8.00 (quite yummy!)
At 10.30 i had a cup of tea with skimmed milk and sweetener,which i guess helped me to not feel too hungry until my lunch, which i had at 1.
Spaghetti Bolognese and a cup of that Bouillion. Love the Bolognese, soo much taste!!
At 4 i started to feel quite hungry but due to work i couldnt have another meal so i had to wait until i was home...
At 5.15 i had a chocolate bar which was quite nice and i dont feel hungry at all!

This leaves me with another meal tonight! And i thought i would need 5 meals to get through the day!

I have to say the meals are enough to not feel hungry, it's just hard to resist all those treats around you!!!

Hi Kirsten,

Don't be put off by the tomato soup there are lots of other lovely flavours to chose from.

Wishing you good luck and look forward to seeing how much you lose in your first week.

Linda

Welcome aboard the KeeBee Train, glad you are enjoying most of the products. The HP Tomato soup is a strange one and one of the flavours we are considering dropping from our range. Due to the composition and manufacturer the texture and sight of the product is different from our other soups. This seems to be the same for all Tomato Soup Meal Replacement companies.

Keep on Track and first week can get on the scales with complete faith to realise a terrific weight drop !!

Good Luck with the plan Kerstin. Keep us posted.

I Just had a farmhouse tomato soup....it had a weird texture... i dont know if i did anything wrong but it had like little white bits in it.....wasnt too nice to drink but besides that the flavour was allright!

Hello everyone!!!

I'm quite excited to try this diet and hope I will be able to stick to my plan ( The Kee Full Meal Replacement )

Today is only day one, I had an original oatmeal so far and was quite surprised that it tastes quite nice!
Now 3 hours later I'm going to have a soup as I'm quite hungry!

I will upload a before picture of me the next days....

That's it for now, i will keep you updated!
