Also, when they say small can of tuna, do they mean the teeny ones like Slimming World and WW use? Or the more avearge small size? I presume the first but want to be sure.

Hi BL, I think it's week 4 that you can cook your veg, it is definitely not this week (sadly!!) and I believe it is the smallest tin, but they say you should use your common sense (not the best option for me!!!)

Yeah I'm pretty sure also we can't cook the veg yet as it says "you can now cook your vegetables". It limits it really for me as I really don't fancy raw cauliflower! Looking forward to sugar free jelly though. HEAVEN!!

Just out of interest, when I started the RTM before my holiday I read somewhere the weight that your fish should be. I can't find it this time for looking. What should my fish/chicken weigh? I'm frightened I'm overdoing it! x

I need to know to Kaalin, and other measures and portions, etc. Is it in the book?

Using common sense at the moment, and due to neck no apetite anyway but need to know to be sure. Have not had luck reading, as meds make me woozy. Gonna try and get thru some of it this week.

I thinkk, and could be wrong, but cooked veg produce more sugar, or converts to more sugar or something like that?

I could be wrong. Its not because its easier on your stomach as cooked are easier then raw...so it must be something that changed when cooked that affects ketosis.

??

Just a guess.

Tange

Hi BL,

I am not sure now. What I did was use a calorie counter (nutracheck)
There is a thread somewhere that Ali posted about calories per week.
Week one 600 week two 700 etc etc goes up by 200 cals a week after week 8 or 9. I found it a complete life saver and then you can also see what the right size is too eat. I was exceptionally anal in the first 8 weeks everything that went in my mouth got weighed and the calories noted in my food diary. I appreciate its not for everyone but it kept and still keeps me on track. Remember basting sauces and salad dressing have calories too.

Hope this helps.

Week 1 add 100 = 600 per day
Week 2 add 100 = 700 per day
Week 3 add 100 = 800 per day
Week 4 add 100 = 900 per day
Week 5 add 100 = 1000 per day
Week 6 add 100 = 1100 per day
Week 7 add 100 = 1200 per day
Week 8 add 150 = 1350 per day
Week 9 add 150 = 1500 per day
Week 10 add 150 = 1650 per day
Week 11 add 150 = 1800 per day
Week 12 add 200 = 2000 per day

Thanks BL. I guessing the amount of minerals diminishes too when vegies are cooked so they are probably trying to get us into good habits.
