After 18 weeks on Lighter Life I have decided to get back to a higher calorie diet for a bit to give my body a rest from starvation mode. I've started doing Weight to Go (850kcals in theory but I am adding about 100kcals to that every day) and I've broken out my remaining stock of Xenical (from before LL). Some of the meals on WTG aren't high enough in fat to make it worth taking a Xenical whilst others are so I'm not on that many capsules a day.
I have lost really well on Xenical in the past and the last time I actually managed not to put the weight back (after a fall from size 26 to size 22) so I'm hoping that I really do mean it this time. I've lost over five and a half stone on LL and hope to drop the next couple of stone on Xenical before returning to a VLCD for the final push.
I haven't lost any weight in the first week but I think that is just my body adjusting from a very low calorie, very low carb diet. I didn't put anything on either so hopefully the weight will start to come off again next week.
Went for a colonic today and I turned the waste tube orange!

in all the shakes and low cal drinks as I have noticed some problems with aspartame in the past. I have therefore decided that as of today I will be back on a completely home cooked real food diet (aiming for about 1,000 - 1,200 kcals a day), still with the Xenical. I have done this successfully in the past and have a set of calorie counted recipies ready to use but the problem is that I hate cooking and the longest I've ever done a diet this way is three months. I'm hoping that my bowels will return to normal in a few weeks and then I may go back on a VLCD but just avoid the shakes, the soups and some bars should be OK.
