New to VLCD - Started today

Hi everyone,

I'm starting a VLCD today and I'm on here for support and advice. I'm not officially following any official plan right now. I've been given some 'slim'n'save' products by a friend at work. Probably about 13 days worth but a lot are bars, so probably more like 10 days. I think I am supposed to keep calories between 600-800 per day. I think I'm going to aim for the higher end of the scale and 800-900 per day. I have a 8.5month daughter and she really does keep me busy. I take her for a long walk each day and the rest of the day I'm constantly on the go with her.

In about a week, if I'm finding it all okay I'm going to order some more products. I've heard exante is a good option, I can stick with sns or something else. I thought about doing it the healthy way and buying everything fresh and doing my own vlcd but I'm struggling with time and willpower.

So that's it.....I've began. Had a Minty Chocolate shake. Got a bar in the freezer for later. Wish me luck.....

Keep at it, once yr in ketosis then it's so much easier. I've done sns, Cambridge and ex ante in my time. I think sns can't be beat with regard to taste and choice. I think they also came out cheaper than the other 2, the last time I checked. I'm not a rep! I just like their products. Keep up the good work

Whatever you do, don't try Billies Diet... one word... yuk! After doing a little shopping online I came accross there website and it was the cheapest of all the diet plans I had been browsing on and after having a difficult month financially I decided to take the plunge. BIG MISTAKE!

The shakes tasted like powder and the selection wasnt as great. I think with following SandS beforehand though, it was something to compare to.

I agree with angie, slimandsaves packs are far more better.

How's today gone? I started today too, Shake that Weight, had porridge, chicken soup and banana shake. Definitely not hungry, it is just habit that got me thinking I wanted goodies at 8pm! I got a pint of sparkling water instead

Hi I'm pretty new here.

Me too! I'm doing the devadiet, my stuff should arrive today, excited !!!!!!!! Starting Monday. I'm on a mission before Xmas then may have a break and start again into new year.

I've dabbled a lot a few days here and there don't think I got to ketosis. But stuff I bought was mostly the supermarket shakes and bars... liked all the bars but asda and tesco shakes not that great but I tried the superdrug lighterlife shakes and they were nice. But I want to commit now so thats why I thought an online plan was way forward hopefully this one will be good I just got a 2 week pack... so will see! I saw billies diet on ebay and almost bought it, thanks for heads up!!!

Bought some zero konjac pasta from amazon too, hopefully can have that in the evenings to help fill me up, anyone tried it?

Oops just saw this is an old thread... ah well I've typed now so I'll post anyway, maybe someone will see it... think I'm talking to myself as normal lol!
