    Ok, well I have just received my delivery and have dived straight into the breakfast clusters with plain yogurt and blueberries, totally delicious!! Going for pea & ham soup for lunch and chicken, leeks and cream for dinner.
    Hoping someone else is doing this diet too so we can share stories? Xx

    Ok, now on day 4 of Go Lower and I had a bit of a headache yesterday and felt a bit sick. I called Customer Support and they explained this is one of the signs of going into ketosis and it will pass. Low and behold I woke up this morning after almost 12hours sleep last night and the headache is gone and I feel so much better.
    Am I really the only person following this programme just now? Xx

    Go Lower

    Hi,

    I am seriously considering trying the Go Lower diet, I did Cambridge for a month last year and loved the results, 1.1/2 stone in a month, but I just can't face it again at the moment. I am following weight watchers now which is ok but I would really like to lose more than 8lb in a month.

    I have looked at the Go Lower site and it seems perfect, just wondered if anyone that has tried it for themselves could give me and real insider info and advice.

    Thanks
    Karen

    Exclamation Go Lower food for sale...

    Dear all,

    First & foremost, well done Chrissie & others on your incredible weight-loss achievements, you must be so pleased. Keep up the good work!


    By way of introduction, my name is Turi. Like you Chrissie, I also signed up to the Go Lower program. Unfortunately, however, I am not doing so well...
    .


    To give you a bit of history, I used to suffer from Bulimia and Anorexia for nearly 10 years and have been 'clean' for 2 years. I would say I now eat healthily and have a very balanced attitude towards eating/size and what not. I went onto Go Lower upon a friend's suggestion as I wanted to literally lose 4-5 hard-to-shift pounds so that I could squeeze myself back into thosejeans that have been under the bed for who knows how long!

    So, I signed up... I should mention at this point that I eat fish but do not eat meat so I was told to spread my month's supply of food over 6 weeks supplementing the program with my own high-protein, low-carb meals.

    I don't know if it was the lack of options - I've realised that Go Lower is not well suited to non meat-eaters - or the lack of fruit of which I normally snack on a lot but I've failed... miserably! Last night I ate ALL my chocolate nuts and raspberries - snacks that Go Lower provides for a once-every-other-day treat. I woke up this morning with knots in my stomach at the prospect of returning to unhealthy and damaging eating habits.


    That said, my friend is loving the program and since I started my sister signed up & is also loving it. The food is delicious but perhaps it's just not suitable for people who like to eat some sweet things that may be higher in carbs.

    So, bearing in mind my history I have decided to sell the remainder of my food. I have spoken to Go Lower this morning & they are going to get back to me as to whether they will refund the remaining food. They also suggested this website to me as a fantastic resource so I thought I would add a post to test the waters...

    Anyway, the food I have remaining is as follows:

    10 granola breakfasts
    10 snacks (mix coconut bars, raspberry bars and nuts/seeds)
    10 broccoli & stilton soups
    10 mushroom soups
    5 quorn bolonaise
    7 'chicken' (tofu) coconut curries (my fave!)
    7 prawn curries
    0 chocolate treats

    The retail value of these items would be £137. If anyone is interested, please feel free to put an offer in for them! I do hope that my post hasn't been discouraging to those of the diet... like I said, I think it's perfect for some people and the food is yummy (especially aforementioned chocolate treats!).

    I hope to hear from you soon,

    Turi x

    Hi Turi
    Sorry to hear that Go Lower has not worked for you. Ive been on it now for nearly 2 weeks and feel great. Went through ketosis a few days ago, but once the headaches had gone, feel on top of the world. This is the best diet I've ever been on, and I've been on a few! In my first week lost 5lbs, which is great. My next weigh-in is tomorrow, so hope it continues, but like I said I feel great. The food is really tasty - my kids like the look of it as does my husband...but if he wants it, he can order his own!!! Already feeling as if my clothes are falling off...
    Good luck with what ever you decide to do
    xx

    In fact I always try to weigh myself every day when not dieting just to (link removed by moderator) keep an eye on what's happening. When trying to lose weight I reckon it helps to measure the results of your efforts and keeps you motivated. Common advice is to do weekly weigh ins.

    GoLower was started by Hannah Sutter, the author of Big Fat Lies.
    If you haven't read the book do. It is the science behind low carbs & explaining why low fat/high carbs don't work for most people. It sounds heavy, but it isn't, it's brilliant!

    Hi Turi, sorry to hear you didnt get on so well, different diets suit different people i guess, its all about finding one that works for you

    I have been started Go Lower end of last year and have lost just over 5 stone!
    I try to only weigh myself once a week never more!Dont want to go onto those scales to many times!

    Hi Cinta, interesting read isnt it?
    Have started to read it at the weekend a friend of mine gave it to me(she is on the diet too).

    It is Isobel, reading it was like a light bulb going on in my head. It explained why I struggled so much with calorie counting. My sister always said if we eat the same food for a week she would lose & I would gain, yet she does no exercise & I do loads.

    Well, it looks like she was right! I must be either insulin resistant or just produce too much of the stuff when I have carbs!!
    Thank goodness I seemed to have found the answer.

    Exactly, no diet suits everyone, I tried many and the only one that worked for me was Atkins, though I suspect any low carb diet would have been as good.

    Tried the celriac chips yesterday and they ended up as an oily soggy mess. The go lower recipee doesn't give the oven temp or the length of time to cook them. I put the tray and oil in the oven to warm up first, then put in the dried parboiled chip-shaped celeriac in it at 180C (fan assisted oven) for 15 mins. Disappointing. help would be greatly appreciated as they sounded like a good alternative to broccoli/cauliflower!

    I've never tried them in the oven Nadia, I do them in a chip pan. You do need to make sure they are thoroughly dried though, they seem wetter than potato somehow.

    Hi, how long have you been doing Go Lower?
    The Go Lower website has lots of recepies on it and the people on the forum might have some ideas.
    If anyone has any tips that would be good for me too.
