Starting Go Lower I think??? - MiniMins.com

mumofthree · 12th March, 2009

Last week I saw a Lighter Life councellor (who was a large lady!!!???) so not inspired then today I saw a Cambridge diet lady and now I think i am signing up for Go Lower tomorrow morning. Any comments on this I am confused.com xxx

Hiya!!

CarolineM knows about GoLower ...... I'm sure she'll be around at some point tomorrow and will give you the gen if she's got time.

From what she's said in the past it's similar to Diet Chef but there's more choice, the meals seem a bit fancier and I believe there are nuts and things you can have, but I think it's quite a lot dearer. I'm not sure but I think it may be getting on for £60 per week.

Sorry I can't help more. Good Luck whatever you decide. xx

CarolineM · 13th March, 2009

Someone call hehe!

Hello mumofthree - wow, you must be one busy lady

Go Lower is similar to Diet Chef except that it utilises ketosis - it's a low carb type diet, but not ludicrously low. The food is good and there are lots of nuts and pleasant things to munch on.

As Jan says, the only disadvantage it has over Diet Chef is the price.

kj2s · 13th March, 2009

Hello Mumofthree,

I started the go lower diet 2 weeks ago, I would definately recommend it! The food is very tasty and the support is great, you can call or email them for advice and they are alway very friendly and helpful

As for the price, if you sign up to one of the programmes (12,16 or 20 weeks) it costs £46.50 each week paid monthly. The only problem is that for the last few weeks the food you recieve reduces and they send you recipies to help encourage you to continue by yourself, personally I think this is a good idea and will help the transormation process back to healthy longterm eating.

I started by ordering a 1 week trial box (£49.95) so that I could try the food to make sure I was going to like it! I did and lost 4lb so on the strength of that I signed up for the 20 week programme

This week I lost 2lb but on Monday I had a real alcohol blowout so I am really pleased with 2lb

I have done cambridge in the past but just couldn't face it again, I find go lower much better cause you get to eat real food and still achieve ketosis!!!

Hope this helps a little

mumofthree · 15th March, 2009

Thank you all especially kj2s. On Fri I signed up for the 20 week plan with Go lower so the cost is only £46.50 per week plus you get 2 weeks free at the end at the moment.
My pack is arriving on Monday 16th (tomorrow) So I am looking forward to my first week and will keep you all informed on my progress.

Thanks again well done to you all for your weight loss.
Cant wait to feel fitter and healthier when I am 4 stone lighter.

Hope you all have a good week

xx

kj2s · 15th March, 2009

Well done mumofthree you are now a fellow 20 weeker

You're gonna love the diet, I can honestly say its the easiest one I've ever done and believe me I have tried a few over the years. Let me know how you get on

covkirst83 · 15th March, 2009

i only did the trial week of go lower cuz its pretty expensive so i have started atkins for 2 weeks.i lost about half a stone on my trial so the weight does come off really quik with go lower.i didnt know it was less than 200quid if u did a plan.i think im gonna do the 12 week one wen i next get paid

kj2s · 15th March, 2009

Good choice covkirst83, by the time you have brought all the meat etc for the Atkins diet you will probably find you have spent more than Go Lower costs on the programme anyway!!!

Karen x

covkirst83 · 15th March, 2009

yeh i spent loads gettin all the atkins stuff.meat is so expensive and with go lower all u have 2 do is bung it in the microwave.

mumofthree · 16th March, 2009

Yeah got my food pack this morning. Is it normal to be so excited about receiving food parcels or am I odd???? Ha Ha! Juat about to have the pea and Ham soup so we will see. I will keep in touch and my hubby took some very unflattering before pics yesterday so hopefully I should end up with some great before and after photos. Here's to a good week everyone xx

kj2s · 16th March, 2009

Morning mumofthree, I think its great to be excited, you're gonna love it, its sooo easy

Let us know what you think of the food as you try it

Karen x

kj2s · 18th March, 2009

Morning mumofthree, how's it going? what foods have you tried so far, what do you think

Covkirst83 how is the Atkins going?

I have had a good week, I'm feeling great, lots of energy

My weigh-in day is Friday so I'll let you know how I get on this week

Karen x

mumofthree · 18th March, 2009

kj2s glad you are having a good week. I am still very excited by the diet I have had the Ham & Pea soup- not the greatest but ok
and I love the Beef in Thyme the crisp things are lush and The Mushroom stroganoff was ok. I did have a chiken chasseur thing as well. The only thing is I have never craved fruit before as much as I do now!!! But all good.
My first weigh in will be Mon am so will keep in touch.
Good Luck for your weigh in on Fri xx

kj2s · 18th March, 2009

Glad its going well, you can add a little extra bacon and a handfull of grated cheese to the soup to make it go a little further, also I found the mushroom stroganoff a little sickly so I stired in a little fromage frais (just check the carbs)

You are probably craving fruit cause you are starting to go into ketosis, after a few days the cravings normally stop
