I had a look at the book you mentioned but there are 2 by her ... now I know it's the one actually titled Calorie Counter but can you tell me - does it have the GI & GL values in it or not? And do you know why that one was recommended to you as opposed to any other one?

(Just call me a nosey cow )

Hi Jan, I hope it can be helpful to someone when they on re-feeding, so I am trying to put as much in as possible.

Its the pink coloured one and it doesnt have the GI or Gl values in it. It shows only kcal-energy-fat-saturated fat-protein-carbohydrate-fibre.

She recommended this one to me as she wants me to stick to 1000 calories, but I have not had 1000 calories yet, yesterday was the highest because I had pitta bread and sardines at lunch which boosted it.

Yes I am looking forward to weigh in on Thursday too, so far with my sneaky peeks, I cant see any difference, but I havent weighed at the same time as usual as I have been up at 4:30 for my 2 dayshifts, I should have a better idea tomorrow though when I get up at a more human time, 8am.

HAHAHA - Jan, you really are leaving yourself wide open there, but I'm feeling good today, so you're lucky!

Kered, only just caught up with your diary and it seems you putting a lot of variety into your foods, which is good, and something I didn't do in the first week (although the results didn't hurt).

I'm not so sure about the calories part (just my opinion), but personally, I'm paranoid enough without viewing the calories as well, but if it helps thats great.

It's a good subject you raised in regards to brekkie as I too have been wondering what the hell to have once the shakes stop, which they have to at £22 a week for breakfast, it's quite a lot.

As I'm planning on starting my weights again, I was thinking of substituting my brekkie shake, with a whey-protein shake, so no carbs and plenty of protein. I'm murder for breakfast cereals and would regularly replace my evening meal with a big bowl of breakfast, so I really don't want to get started on them at all.

I hope everything goes well with the weigh-in on Thursday. Please try and post your results during the day if possible, would love to see how you've done in your first week before I head off on holiday.

Keep it up.

Mark, the £22 gives you 14 maintenance shakes/bars, which covers the breakfast and lunch, so therefore you just need to make your own dinner, but to be honest, if I am succeeding in still losing with the calorie counting and just using lipotrim for breakfast, I would probably just buy 1 batch at £22 which would give me breakfast for 2 weeks, so £11 per week, which is better but still more than I would spend on making my own breakfasts.

I will ask her about breakfasts when I see her next, but I am also thinking along the continental breakfast type, cucumber, tomatoes, small piece of cheese and boiled egg, but omitting the carby bread lol.

I will post my loss on Thur afternoon after I get weighed, I just usually post my menu in the evening once I have finished eating, incase I get tempted.........(NO MARY LOL).

My chemist doesn't do the maintenance products so I have to pay £22 for 7 shakes (one for each breakfast), which is what I was referring to, which I think is pricey, obviously the female products are cheaper than the male ones?

Good luck for Thursday anyway.

Have you sent for the free maintenance samples off the lipotrim site yet? Remember, get your friends to order some too, lol.

To be honest I haven't....I want to get back to normal food asap, but will send for some anyway....they may come in handy for the days I'm working out, so not to nibble on rubbish.

Good idea. I havent tasted any of the shakes yet, although they sound nice, but I have tried the bar, which was quite good.

I agree with you on getting back to normal foods though, why pay extras if we can be sensible.
