    Atkins bars

    Atkins bar was disgusting btw! And not cheap at £5.99 for 5, especially as I won't eat another one! Lesson learnt. I just begrudge paying so much much for a bar order and now I want to wait for the bigger bars. Thanks babs

    Atkins bars

    Thanks for the replies, have compared the Atkins daybreak bar against the milk choc Truffa and Atkins is lower on cals and carbs! Would stick with s and s bars but I'm not paying £20plus p and p for 14 bars!! babs

    Sainsbury's Strawberry & Kiwi now has Citric acid

    Don't worry I'm sure it won't make any difference, I've been having tesco diet coke and no added sugar squash and I've lost 24lb in 7weeks. Still not sure if ketosis speeds up the actual weight loss or just helps because it suppresses ur appetite. Just keep going x

    Thinking about moving to Exante..

    Ll is about 520 cals per day, lipotrim 440 & exante is 600 so not sure if this affects the speed of weight loss? If it's calories in to calories out u would have thought so but it is a small diff and after trying all 3 I'm happiest with exante for taste convenience and price.

    hi anna, thanks for that day 6 this morning and feeling better. she never mentioned not having the bars till day 4, maybe i would have got into ketosis quicker if i hadn't them earlier in the week and not felt so rough, nevermind. all the best for day 1. babs

    hi laura, it cost £66 per week for all your food packs and the councelling session. i dont think its too bad as it includes counselling which will be beneficial to keeping the weight off. cambridge diet is much cheaper about half the price but dont know much about it. i'm only on day 5 and...
