I wasn't condoning anybody's opinions and actions...I am merely asking questions. If one cannot do that here without being subjected to negative posts then I am out.

Absolutely. We have to make our own judgements. Eating carbs/sugars increases the body to release a hormone which promotes appetite and insulin in large amounts is released. Your body then becomes efficient at burning carbs for energy which is known for why many people (not all) get obese. To...

Please don't think I am being obnoxious....I just like to question things thats all.

I just can't buy it. I agree people will lose weight on it but surely intermittantly having your blood sugars spiking and the issues that causes can't be good for you.

I don't buy this carb cycling thing. Cheat day imo gives the wrong impression too :(

The almond milk I have is 3g per 100ml. The vanilla one does sound nice so will hunt here to see if I can find something simular. Typically british thing but I LOVE my tea and the soya milk isn't cutting it. Will try some whipping cream. :) Glad you are feeling more positive.

I do feel I shall need to get your autograph with your new celebrity status. Fab news and your pooches are just adorable.

Today is just a blip. You have coped, you have survived and you kicked it's ass. Well done. On the Almond Milk front, I bought some to try and added it to a mug of coffee. It was sooooo sweet

Not good :(

Just come back from party. 100% sober and all they had on the menu was chips, pizza, sausage rolls, chicken in sweet bbq sauce, quiche and sandwiches. I have come home with a headache, starving and moody :(

I can't believe I haven't heard of him sooner

Your day sounds nice. How did you do your pulled pork if you don't mind me asking?

Just ordered Fitness Confidential book by Vinnie Tortorich.....I have been following his podcasts over the past week and feel inspired and everything he talks about makes complete sense. I am following his NSNG lifestyle and cargo pants now fit and still have energy to train and still not hungry

Nasty injury.....I tore my calf and my hip flexor. I ran 2 days back to back last week and bang my calf is sore again (I give up) It is very difficult to juggle the demands of being a mum even with a hubby. I retired from nursing last year as My eldest daughter is disabled and I couldn't juggle...

Hi, I had to pull out of a marathon due to injury....running and me don't go together lol so I decided to learn how to swim and ride a bike to keep me fit. I started in November last year and did my first sprint distance Triathlon 2 weeks ago. I am doing another Sprint on June 1st and a cycle...

Thank you Coffeelover. It's not a great amount of exercise for me. I like to do more but time wasn't on my side today. Not hungry at the moment which is a great feeling. No carb craving swings :) Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Thanks...but you must burn a whole load more cals than me with the extra special weight on the back :) Water oh yes.....poured myself a glass ages ago and yep....it's still right there!!! Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Hi everyone. Just done 3 days of CD and felt really unwell and decided the plan didn't suit my lifestyle. I did Atkins 10 years ago and have started again today. Have 2st 7 to lose.

Wise words....you still have to live. Just be sensible x

Am starving even after a soup and lots of fluids....trying to find ways to cheat :'(

Every advert on tv is food related or so it seems. aRGH!!!!!!!

Good luck for weigh in. Let me know how you get on. I have woken up feeling better today. Not sure i am in ketosis yet but will POAS at work this afternoon. Keep going :-)

Hahahaha that made me chuckle

Day 2 nearly over and I'm in bed. Today has been ok all in all. I think I will feel it tomorrow when ketosis is knocking in the door. Wearing a onsie is so blooming hard when your peeing every half hour but I am soooo cold.

Haha thanks :-)

It would help if I read the packet *rolls eyes*

What are mix a mousse? Never heard of them.

Did you use hot water or heat in microwave for your hot chocolate?

Hi there. I am on day 2 today. Felt dodgy this morning but I'm good now after plenty of fluids. Good luck on your journey to forever slim and healthy.

Thanks Rachel. Enjoy your fresh air. I liked the oriental chilli soup :-)

Hi, only day 2 here. Feeling woozy and weak but am going to drink it away.

Wow 8lbs off. Awesome...keep going :-)

Sounds like your doing great. Well done you. :-)

Hi I'm starting day 2 today and feel a bit woozy. I'm 5ft 2 and need to lose 2.5 - 3 stone.

Wow that's great. Are you feeling better now? :-)

Hi girls. I am starting day 2 today and def feel worse although it was expected. Already had a cup of tea, cup of green tea and a chocolate velvet shake. Going to potter around the house today and catch up on some tv on iPlayer whilst I sit by my SAD light and dream I am on a Caribbean beach in...

Woke up feeling a little dizzy and fuzzy in the head. Going to clean house slowly and keep up my water intake. How are you doing and feeling hun? X

1st day has gone ok. Kept busy in work on a 13 hour shift. All my meals I enjoyed. Choc velvet, banana shake and chilli soup. Everytime I felt a little lightheadedness I drank which helped. I have a feeling tomorrow maybe more difficult!!!

Thanks peeps. I am 11st 11lbs and target at the moment is 9st 3lbs. I am only 5ft 2 so every pound shows lol. Off to work now for 13 hours. I have 2 tetra packs, a soup and a shake. Electric whisk, green teas and a jug at the ready. Let's beat this beast that is controlling our lives :-)

Hi there. Thanks for reply. Glad to hear your back in the zone. Hope we can support each other. Shall pray the scales will be kind to you :-) I met my consultant tonight who is so lovely and made me feel supportive even thought I was a bit teary. I am all set for sole source + to start tomorrow x

I am off to meet my cup consultant in an hour. Bit daunted by it all but here's hoping I get to grips with it. Failure isn't an option. Glad you enjoyed your shake :-)

Hi I too am starting CD. Seeing my consultant tomorrow. Good luck.....we CAN do it :)

My name is Natalie and I am obsessed with food and drink. Every breath, I am thinking about my next snack and when should I open a bottle of shiraz! Tomorrow I meet my CD consultant and Tuesday starts my journey to the new me where food and wine control me. I WILL control them. I work full...
