Post an example of what youre having daily!

Morning Yvonne, yes they need to be unsalted. Salt ideally needs to be avoided I assume because of the fluid retention it'll cause. Perhaps admin could confirm but I think I rmember reading somewhere in the bumf or website that you can have dry roasted if you don't want plain.

Here's what I posted before when you asked, just thought I'd put it here too as it's relevant....

I aim for a total shake at 9am, 1pm, 5pm & 9pm and am making sure I have a pint of water in the lead up to each shake which is slightly less than the 2.25ltrs a day - but I make that up by using 300ml to make each shake. I have one of each of the 4 flavours a day.

I also having probably 4/5 cups of tea a day with splenda tablets and skimmed milk and that's it. Also a tablespoon of unsalted nuts three times a week which are heaven on a very small saucer! x

Do the nuts have to be unsalted?

Hiya

I am sorry that you are feeling so hungry - here is what I do:

Breakfast - Porridge (when I have some in the cupboard) or hot choc anytime between 6.30 and 8.30 depending when I am working

Lunch - a bar - between 12 and 1

snack time - hot choc or a shake (if I am feeling hungry or need to do something with my hands other than reach for the biscuit tin) around 4-5 Sometimes I am at work, sometimes at home.

Dinner- some protein (salmon or scallops or chicken or minced beef) and my usual veg (1 Courgette, 1 pepper, 2 tips asparagus roasted) around 8 pm. My husband makes them into burgers (just mince and seasoning) its yum and makes me feel that I am having something interesting


I am not sure if this exactly follows any of the plans and I don't weigh my food - I just have what I need, but I think that I have trained myself to have smallish portions. I also have any colour pepper that I want.

Once I get into Ketosis I will have limited coke zero and sugar free jelly once a day (out of ketosis at the moment as I have been quite sick last week, didnt do many carbs though just diet coke, juice and fruit!! This was amazing in itself, normally a breakfast of carbs would have lead to a day of carbs and then a week and I would never have got back into it - but I am now on day 2 again!!

This seems to work fine for me and I lost quite a lot of weight first time around. I went from 18 stone to around 14 and a half in about 3 months (June 09- August 09) I then messed around with the plan for a while as I had a big family wedding and then holidays and then Christmas ;-) and you know how it goes.

I then went back up to 15 and half stone two weeks ago and have lost about a stone since.

I am only giving my history because I do believe that as long as you stick to the plan rigidly in the first place then you can relax a little - obviously without going back to the carbs and sugar and stuff!!

I also completely understand those of us that can only have the packs and no food as its difficult to stop eating once started.

What's everyone else doing?

I thought it would be a good idea to share with each other which products we are having daily, and how long we are leaving in between!
