I feel like crap now, my first weigh in is on Tuesday and I'm defo not going to be in ketosis by then and it would have made all this hard work I have put in these last couple of days for nothing!

Hi Davey,
Try not to over think LL. It really is as simple as eat the 4 packs spread over the day, and drink the 3 to 4 litres of water, and black leaf tea or coffee. Try not to worry about ketosis and the exact moment it starts. Stick to it and it just works, don't worry about it. Keep your mind busy with other things, read some diaries of successful LL'ers who have reached goal. They are really inspiring.
You will have already cut down your calories so much in just 3 days, get back to LL until Tuesday weighin and you WILL still see results for your first week. Get over this one blip, don't throw away your hard work. In the meetings you'll learn about all or nothing thinking, and that you need to change that thinking, instead make the decision to stick to this. Every time your tempted make the decision again.
From experience I'd recommend to Keep away from food, don't go near it for the first week. Don't open the fridge or cupboards that have food in. Dont' talk about it, smell it, or even think about it. In a couple of weeks when it gets easier it won't even bother you to sit with others who are eating. You will be so happy with your losses that you won't want to break it.
We are all here to support you...

Great post from ELAB...very sensible words.

Going back to the orginal question about coffee, I struggled with black coffee, but I found the better the quality, the easier it was to drink it black. I also enjoyed a 'latte', a vanilla shake with a spoonful of instant coffee or a 'mocha', a chocolate shake with a spoonful of instant. You find out what works for you.

Good luck!
