Thread: JUDDD - Introduce Yourself!!

Hey MsJMC how is the Judding going? I have also started it. This is day 3 for me. up day tomorrow yay!!

hi Karen
Its better than alot of diets , just have to have more water , so don't get headaches .
How are you finding it , what foods are you having on up day ?

Hi MsJmc. I always get headaches anyway but the first two dayss seemed to be the worst. Havent had any since. This is my fourth day. If you want to have a look at what I have been eating on an upday, have a look at my diary in the JUDDD section, I have been keeping a record of calories eaten on up days too. I dont know whether it will be useful until I start losing weight lol. What do you eat on an up day? do you try to stick healthy or eat all the forbidden things? I try to stick to as healthy as I can with the odd curly wurly thrown in for good measure. damn those curly wurlys !! lol I try and have at least 2 litres of water a day which i find easier to do on a down day. I also find the down days easier than I thought and I take it as a challenge too, although it is coming up to star week so might have the urge to splurge soon

hi Karen
What is star week ?
I tend to go for snacks Making healthier choices, also to drink water with my meal,also smaller portion size things to go for say Grilled chicken sandwich,salad with grilled chicken and low-fat dressing,Baked potato or a side salad,Mashed potatoes,Lean meat (roast beef, chicken breast, lean ham) or veggies,Choosing whole-grain bread,Steamed brown rice,Pasta a sauce but making sure its not high in kcals. Really it's best to go for lower as you can have more , well thats me lol . what foods are you going for , yes always best to have that treat , otherwise its to hard on ourselfs

Wow thats a lot of healthy stuff there lol, I am not that good. When I am at work I tend to have the same thing on up day (I am quite a fussy eater), 2 weetabix, then ham toastie for lunch and chicken and jacket potato and beans for tea with some fruit throughout the day thrown in for good measure. Star week is the week you are due on when you are at your heaviest (well apparantly) although I always tend to notice I am lighter not heavier lol.

Hi Karen
Star week , thats a new one lol . I used to call them happy days lol
Before star week few days i tend to put on , as long as it goes i don't care lol .
As from Saturday i'm giving Johnson diet full postive mind ... no cheats for me . hey is there anybody out there , are we the only few lol .
Karen you are still doing great , what do you eat on the down day ?

Ms JMC, I think Shanny said she was starting with you on Saturday so I that will be 3 altogether. I think most people who have been on it have not lasted very long and changed to other diets. Maybe it is just a short term diet, who knows it is too early to tell. I am giong to give it at least 2 weeks and so far I am onto day 6.

On my down days I tend to eat things like weight watchers soup, raw rhubarb with sweetner, strawberries, ham sandwhich etc

hi Karen
Yes Saturday there will be 3 of us and if more want to join .
With the diet I have been reading on other sites that they seem to be doing it long term or others give up , thats great day 6 , have you had a peak how much you've lost ?

Samples of Diet Menus using Healthy Foods *





Listed below are 3 more diet menus ranging from low to upper-medium calories per day. All the diets are composed of fresh, healthy, natural foods and ingredients. For a healthy diet always try to choose fresh, natural foods and ingredients. Also, choose lower salt options for any meal, and try not to add salt when cooking if using any type of processed dressing or sauce as these tend to contain lots of added salt.

To help keep calories low I always drink plenty of bottled water during the day as well as after each meal or snack. It's surprising how easy it is to drink excess calories through sodas and sugary drinks, but water contains no calories at all!

The following diets are for demonstration purposes only!
If you decide to follow any of the healthy diet examples below or any diet samples on this website you must seek the approval of a qualified dietician before starting the diet plan. Please read our Terms!
