    Are TF shakes compatible with Cambridge shakes?

    the TF shakes are far higher in carbs, so you can prob use CD shakes on TF, but using TF on CD may affect ketosis if you are on total food replecement. if you are on the 880 plan and above, then prob very little diff. I loved the CD bars! nam nam!

    Shakers?

    I got one from the cambridge diet, it has a sieve too, if I shake well (with the sieve in) then I dont often get lumps. mine was £3.95.

    Disappointed to say least!

    try to never miss shakes, they have your vitamins in that your body cannot make itself, and skipping them will reduce the amount of nutrients you are getting, it will malnorish your body, you will have insufficient protein and your body will start to canabilse your muscle as well as fat...

    Fizzy Water.

    I drink carbonated water and its fine, you can even drink soda water too (pretty much the same thing but a 'softer' taste). make sure it is not flavoured with anything, like fruit etc, and double check there is no citric acid in either as this can upset the ketosis. good luck

    I ate protein and have had a gain :(

    for every bit of glycogen we store, we hold 3 or 5 times that in water too, so that is how you can add water when we break it, and yeah, have to start ketosis again! so not worth it. no more breaking for me either!

    omg green day vs myfitnesspal

    ditto! I agree with fancurls, why count when sw does it all for you? it seems you are very keen to lose weight, and I can understand that, I have felt like that too. However, I think it would be better for you to let go of how many calories are on this day or that day or this diet or that...

    Mixed information from different consultants

    I too make sure i check on line where I can, also, when you do a food diary online, it says (after you go over 15 syns) that to avoid feelings of deprivation, we reccommend that members enjoy between 5 and 15 syns a day. so - not limited to 10, and not as many as 20. I think most people are...

    I am glad you posted that, cause its so easy to assume that stuff is free after we have made it into something yummy, when infact it has a syn value and could affect our losses. I guess to just eat chickpeas is hard to over eat on, and a cake is quite easy to over eat on! lol
