Hi, I am on week 4 of ss+ and I am getting bored of the shakes and soups etc, I was wondering about getting some bars but i am worried they will knock me out of ketosis as they are higher in calories, I was also thinking of cuttin out my small meal and changing it for the 200ml milk instead on the hopes it will be less cals, Advice needed please.
thanks

hello, im not on cambridge but I just did a quick search on the forum and this thread might be helpful. http://www.minimins.com/cambridge-di...t-ketosis.html (Can Bars Take You Out Of Ketosis????) xxx
My mini goals
Reach the 13's - DONELose 1 stone - DONE
Get my BMI under 30 (Reward myself with a manicure)
Lose 10% of my body weight (Reward myself with something amazing from The Body Shop)
Lose 2 stone (Reward myself with a new bag)
Lose 3 stone
Get my BMI under 25 (from overweight to normal)
So long as you only have the recommended amount it's fine. Don't be tempted to tweak the plan. Follow it the way it's meant to be and you'll be fine

don't think about the calories. you could eat 10,000calories a day and stay in ketosis. it's carbs you need to limit. lots and lots of people on CD have a bar every day after week 2, and remain firmly in ketosis. the chewy ones do have more carbs than the other products, which is one reason why you can only have one bar a day, but the total carbs will still be low enough for the overwhelming majority of people to stay in keto - otherwise CWP wouldn't sell them!
the thing with ketosis is it's harder to get into than to stay in - which is why you have to be more careful in the first two weeks.
there's about 25cals extra in a bar, btw. 1 pound of weight represents 3600 calories. if you had a bar a day, as I do, it would take you 144days to make a pound's worth of difference to your losses. Meanwhile the bars are lush, and i'm having a lovely time eating them.

Depends entirely which source you read, IME. But working from the lower figure, it's 140 days instead of 144. Still getting on for five months.

HI thankyou for the message you have made me feel better, I was really struggling with soups and was thinking of finishing the diet, I have ordered 7 bars this week and 7 ready made drinks and 7 porridge, and I think that I will find it much easier now I know how it works.Originally Posted by spangles

Have to say that I just had the peanut crunch bar for the first time. Loved it! Wasn't a big fan of the chocolate chew bar - too chewy for my liking. The bars are a definite treat for me though!!

week 1 -10.5lbs
week 2 -2.5lbs
week 3 -2.5lbs
week 4 -6lbs
week 5 -3.5lbs
The chocolate mint is super scrummy!!! Since starting on the bars I've pretty much sole sourced and haven't felt the need for the SS+ meal, so hoping I'll have even better weight losses as a result!

16.03.12 Week 10 - STSmy own stupid fault.
23.03.12 Week 11 - 4lbs
31.03.12 Week 12 - Not really sure
Total for March - 10lbs
01.04.12 - 20.04.12 - 3lbs (been off the diet for Easter)
27.04.12 - 3lbs
Total for Apr - 6 measly pounds (must do better).
I've only had 2 so far but I find them really quite filling and also gives you the satisfaction of the (now somewhat strange) chewing sensation!

Thats what I am hoping to do, I have ordered 3 choc mint and 4 peanut but I am hoping they dont make me more hungry. hoping that with the extra cals it might stop the hunger pangs and then I wont feel the need for a meal, x so hopefully better weightloss next week. I have a weigh in tomorrow, hoping its a good one :O/

1 pound is 3500...not 3600 calories
Indeed. Because fat has anywhere between 8.7 and 9.5 calories per gram. Taking the extremes of these, you can establish a range whereby one pound of fat could contain anywhere between 2,843 and 3,752 calories.
I reckon my fat's at the 3,752 calories-per-pound end of the spectrum. That's my excuse for it taking so long to shift. That's high quality fat I'm burning...
