Rep Power: 0 ![]() | I love crisps! Home baked is always best. At least you know what's in them. I forgot this diet plan that required you to make all the food you take in. Not sure if it's also mentioned in the Chris Guerrero Program though, but it is recommended by a lot of plans out there. |

Rep Power: 36 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | As we're all different, I think the official rules are there to make sure that everyone can succeed and there are no conflicts between how the bars, mousse and water flavourings could possibly affect our progress. In practice, it is possible to bend these rules for some people. I am not saying that it is right and I am not saying that everyone should try it. But I've said it before and I still firmly believe that it is much better to have a bar, mousse or water flavouring on the same day if it means you aren't tempted by something else that isn't even allowed on CD. This will most likely affect some people, but will surely be a small price to pay if it prevents you from falling off the diet completely. Others won't be affected by it at all, so can then safely use what works for them to stay on track. Earlier in the year I was on CD SS and I had 2 spoons of water flavour and mousse on the same day. Not just for one day, but for a whole week. On one of the days I had 2 mousse's and on 2 of the days I also had a bar. I still lost 6lb in that week, which was exactly the same as the week before when I had stuck much closer to the rules. I have just restarted and I'm on day 5 of CD SS and I have been using 2 spoons of the water flavouring every day since day 1. I've also had 2 bars so far and will be having one this evening too.

Start Date: Not applicable Goal Weight: 128lb Goal Date: Daily vibrancy and radiance. | just made some crisps, I did not have any Cd soups at hand but tried it with a commerical powdered cup-a-soup to see how it would come out..it came out wonderful if a bit salty..but they are crisps right..likewise some black pepper or tabasco in the mix would have worked a treat....the other thing I found was that the crisps were strangly reassuring, like a treat and I could make a batch to take out with me and have them on the move with a diet pepsi or coke zero...I am really pleased and it satisfies the part of me that feels it will go crazy if it can't nibble. |

Just made the crisps, and they were scrummy, well, the bits I managed to salvage were yummy anyway!! They all completely welded to the baking parchment!! I don't understand, I even tried spraying it with frylight first and it helped a bit, but not much!! I used an oriental chilli pack, water, pepper and a teeny bit of salt! Can anyone help?

I make my mixture quite runny to get more ! Also don't want to p*ss on your parade but salt isn't allowed on CD. Apparently it retains water. I love salt so I miss it too xx |

I know about the salt thing, was just being bad and bending the rules, although have almost knocked myself out of ketosis so have learned my lesson, and will be leaving the tweaking of packs alone I think!! Also tried the muffin and it was a vile combination of dry and chewy and slimy and mingin!! I'll stick to lots of Ice and a good blender!!
