Thread: Go Lower

Hi everyone!

I have just signed up for 16 weeks of GoLower, and expect my food pack delivery on Tuesday, my friend has signed up for the 20 week plan too so we are starting together, her food has arrived and she has said she found it very tasty.

I am feeling quite positive about the diet as I did Atkins a few years ago and it was successful for me, (until I went to work in Asia for 6 months and eat rice and noodles every day!)

The consultant we have spoken to has been great, (much better than some of the other diet counsellors I contacted before I decided to commit to this) so I am looking forward to getting started and losing this excess fat!

Will get weighed in Boots tomorrow, and post up the shame!

hi Demi,

nice to see another new 'face', finger's X'd you enjoy the food & see results quickly.

This week has been so-so. Started off very enthusiastic, had 3 good days then had a night out so went right off the rails. Of course, the next day I had a carb craving hangover & gorged myself. All the weight I lost in the 3 good days went straight back on - that'll teach me!!

Back on track today & back at work tomorrow so that'll help with any willpower issues. I am sooooooo determined I'm going to keep losing 'cos I was getting such a buzz out of it & of course it's fab having clothes that actually fit!

hope everyone's well

thanks!
My food pack arrived today and I am quite impressed with the quality and quantity.
Only niggles are that the info is not all that good, my welcome pack is missing, as was my friends.

I tried the pea and ham soup for lunch and it was very tasty, so looking forward to getting stuck in!

Hello everyone. How are we all doing?

Well I have just come back from holiday, been to Crete for a week and I fell off the wagon a little and had to eat the gorgeous olive oil crisps they have (thank god they dont have them here!) and I had chips quite a few nights with my meals and a lot of fruit and some bread but other as that stuck to protein and lots of greek salads (and booze!!). Result is a gain of 6lbs but no change in my inches so I am guessing this will all be a store of water and glycogen in my Liver. Back on strict high proteina and low carb this morning and I'm sure it will shift quick enough. Xx

Can anyone tell me how much this diet is,the site does not give u an amount?i think it sounds good...

Hey Lilac, best idea is to give them a call, there is different pricing for the different options. Xx

Hiya!

I have signed up to start Go Lower.. Hopefully my food packs will arrive Mon/Tues ish. Cant wait! I have tried just about every diet including the Cambridge.. YUK YUK YUK!!

What is the average weight loss etc per month ish!?!?

I have about 5 stone to loose , in as quick time as possible as going on holiday to Florida in Jan!! (Big family holiday!!) I have got my swim suit to wear!! Just need to loose the weight to get into it!!

Really hope to hear from you guys so that we can motivate each other through our journeys!

Hey Yummy Mummy, Welcome to Go Lower. Have your meals arrived?
Its quite realistic to lose 5 stone before your holiday. The one piece if advise I have to give is don't cheat, because of the way the diet works if you do cheat it puts you out of ketosis and it can delay your progress quite a lot.
I have to say that Go Lower has completely changed my life and I am so glad I found them.
I was at one of my old uni friends weddings this weekend and I wore a size 12 dress, albeit with a big pair of bridget jones style pants but it looked great and everyone who I havn't seen in years hardly even recognised me! Best feeling.

Hi all,
Been lurking for a couple of days as my wife and I had been toying with the idea of a VLCD - either Lighter Life or Cambridge Diet. However, having done Herbalife myself many years ago I was not looking forward to shakes .

After reading on this site about Go Lower it immediately appealed - I've come across versions of the "paleo diet" or "caveman diet" as Go Lower call it and this makes perfect sense to me - we need to eat what our bodies evolved to eat.

Have tried variants before like Atkins and Marisa Peer's gluten/dairy free plan but the problem has always been really knowing what (and how much) we should be eating.

Go Lower appeals because it gives you controlled and prepared portions, a fair amount of variety, and no shakes!

We both have a long way to go so we signed up for the 20 week program. It's a big commitment but this is pretty much the last chance saloon for both of us as we've tried soooo many diets over the years.

It's good to see some people here in the same boat! Hopefully we can all encourage each other to reach our goals!

Hey - where's my Ticker?? Ah there it is!!

As Ken above said, we are getting our foods on Wednesday, had to amend it a little for my fussy self coz 'I don't do' nuts.
So my breakfast will be eggs, pity my work mates, if I am eating eggs everyday for brekky

Hi Ken and Pink and welcome to the group. How are you today? I hope your excited for getting started. Ken you are totally right about it just making sense to eat like this. We are all here to help support each other and share any tips we come accross.
Pink puma I love having for my breakfast egg and bacon mushed up with some full fat mayo - yum, or scrambled eggs and some smoked fish. Xx

Hi "not so Bigbum" - we're both really looking forward to getting started - hoping everything arrives tomorrow as scheduled. Sandy (or Pink Puma as she sometimes calls herself) bought a couple of new thermos flasks for us for soups today as she doesn't have a microwave or kitchen at work and I am on the road for work a lot.
We are raring to go and have that "new eating plan" flush for sure. But also we both are really determined to make this count.
It's very inspiring to see people like yourself "living the dream" and losing stones in weight at a really good rate - hope we will be inspiring others with our success soon!
Scrambled eggs sounds great to me - unfortunately Sandy is a bit fussy about her eggs and only really does boiled, fried or poached. I guess in theory any of the above is allowed on GL? I am sure she will be fine.
More soon, once we've had our delivery!
All the best,
Ken

First week and without any effort what so ever I have lost 6lb woo, woo.

Whooo-hooo! Absolutely delighted - both Sandy (Pink Puma above) and myself lost 6lbs in our first 3 days - couldn't ask to a better start to a diet. I know you always lose a lot at the beginning but this is unprecedented.
Actually for Sandy it's really only two days - the GoLower pack arrived Weds after she went to work so I have a half a day head start on her.
As she says it just doesn't feel like dieting - tasty meals, tasty snacks. We were dreading not liking the meals and soups after some of the comments on here and on the GoLower forum itself, but so far we've not found a bad one.
Roll on the next 6 months to get us back to the shape we used to be, and roll off the flab!!
