miss_bell's Slimmm Diary

[miss_bell]

Hi, I have really struggled to stick to the diet this week, I stupidly ate an easter egg on sunday and that flarred up my IBS, when my IBS is bad I struggle eating dairy along with fruit and vegtables :cry:Once my digestion is back to normal I will be back on the Slimmm Shakes!

When I was having the shakes I found them to be very filling, they contain dietry fibre and weigh protein which helps to keep you fuller for longer, you might struggle in your first week but after that you body should adjust to the amount of calories you are taking in. Becareful when you're exercising during the first week your body is going through big changes and it's running on alot less calories so you may feel lightheaded and sick, my advice is take it easy, some shake diets recommend you don't exercise until week 2. If you stay away from carbs you will easily loose 7lbs in your first full week on Slimmm. I would recommend you eat a piece of fruit in between your shakes/meal and preferable a piece of citrus fruit in the evening as this helps to break up fat.

As for Slimfast it doesn't have the same effect, Slimmm shakes fill you up and if you whisk them they are very frothy and taste 100 times better than slimfast.

let me know if I can be of further help.

hey i have just started the Slimmm Diet and im finding it easy to stick to so far. Im only on day 3 at the moment. And im still excercising as normal but do feel alittle light headed when excercising. Yesterday i had abit of a headache in the evening but that is purely because im detoxing my body so it was to be expected.

ljackson - i love the vanilla specially whisked so its frothy - yummy and the mixed berry shake is also yummy

Im drinking min of 2 litres of water as recommended but i cant cut out my normal cups of tea but i have cut them down as im drinking water as well.

Snacking on dried fruit or fresh fruit when needed i also get the lighterbox from Graze.com and they send me seeds and nuts each punet under 100 caleries

How is everyone else getting on? Miss Bells are you still on this diet?

xx

Hi Everyone

After recovering from my relapse with IBS I did try the Slimm Shakes again and then I realised it was indeed the shakes that were causing me the problems, I have since gained weight and have put on 8lbs since my lowest on the Slimm Shakes. Because I didn't have lots to loose I think that is why the weight came off so slowly.

From my own experience I can safely say these shakes are not for me, I feel they are only a short term solution and you do end up pilling weight back on when you start eating "normally" again. If you have a lot to loose then I can see they would be useful at kick starting your diet and shrinking your stomach plus supressing your appetite.

With the food it's very restricted no carbs, I don't eat a lot of meat and had to ratio my fruit intake so I was left with vegges, salad and eggs....

Thank you for your questions and good luck to everyone who is trying this diet. I joined weight watchers on Monday so i'm going to see how I get on with counting points.
