Thread: I love my Red Days :-)

Thought it was about time I had a food diary and as I've nearly managed to loose 4 stone on red days, thought it might be useful to share ideas too. Will try and update daily :-)

Gonna post pics of previous meals as I know a lot of people wonder what to eat on red days.

Wow that's amazing. My weight loss seems to be 1-2lbs a week at moment so have wondered if red days would speed it up maybe. Not in a super rush to lose but would like to be at target by June. Have got 2st to lose

Main meal ideas

Salmon on a bed of cabbage, bacon, onion, leeks and brocolli



Lamb casserole



Beef stroganoff



Salmon with roasted veg

Hi there! I don't seem to loose on ee or green, body can't handle the carbs unfortunately. I sometimes have a little, maybe as a hexb but mainly just have meat and veg in various ways!

Well I have looked at the future and if I lost 2lbs every week till June then I'd be at target I suppose I'm expecting 3-4lb loss every week which is silly and technically healthy weight loss is 1-2lbs a week

Wednesday

Brekkie - vanilla muller light, banana and blueberries

Lunch - scrambled egg, large field mushroom plus button mushrooms, tomatoes, satsuma

Tea - homemade cheese burgers (hexa), wholemeal roll (hexb), spicy butternut squash wedges, salad. Pud - strawberries, raspberries and a meringue nest 2.5 syns

Snacks - 4 sponge fingers 4 syns, 2 alpen light bars hexb

Drinks - black coffee, homemade lemonade

Syns 6.5 so far

1-2lbs is definitely a healthy loss. On red I have had big losses in a week, up to 5lbs but it's often followed with a sts so evens out!

Yes see now that would be great but has you say, it evens out xx To be honest as long as I'm losing I'll be happy May do a few days on red so I can have extra HEX as that's what stumps me on EE sometimes the fact I can't have cereals then bread later lol xx

Definitely, I love my 2 hexb's :-)

Yes think I will do a red week this week and see what happens at weigh in next week May stay on red if results are more substantial

You can always have some carbs as hexb on red but I tend to use mine on cereal and bread/rolls x

Good luck, am here if you have any questions/need ideas :-)
