    Hi Abz, sorry to hear you're skint, I know the feeling and it's not a nice one :( Good luck with the 1000 plan I know you've had success with that before and I am sure you will again. I went back to the doctors Monday and then to the asthma nurse yesterday, I have a virus at the moment, it's...

    Hi girlies... How is everyone, I am OK, I came off SS but to be honest am not convinced that was the reason my asthma was worse, think it;s more like the damp cold weather and me being so unfit!!! Anyhow, I have maintained by doing mainly atkins altho it is hard, I much prefer just SS'ing...

    Hi Angels, I am feeling a bit low, came back from G.P.'s and he has asked me to come off SS for a couple of weeks because my asthma has worsened.. Now I have been on and off of SS for about 20 weeks now and this is the 1st problem I have had... I am not convinced it is CD but he said he wants...

    How do you work out the carbs?

    Thanks Jim, I'm normally on CD but because of my asthma my GP has aslked me to come off it for a couple of weeks to see if it improves, I wondered if I could still have the occasional CD pack - I know some do and that they are fairly low in carbs. How are you btw?

    How do you work out the carbs?

    Hi folks, Just wondering how you work out the carbs on food labels, for example when it says: Carbs: of which sugars 12.8 Starch 1.3 what is the true reading???

    Cant work it out!!!

    Hi emmie, the weight converter is wrong, you can't work out stones and pounds this way as it gives a percentage rather than a pound reading. Just work it out to the closest stone. It is frustrating...

    Water drinking with Atkins - HELP

    Hi nessajill, I would have thought CD water flavourings are fine on Atkins, anything that keeps you in ketosis as both diets work on the same principle.. Hope that helps x

    Cant work it out!!!

    just had another thought.. when I work it out on a calculator it says, say 10.9.. that's 10 (point) 9 not 10 stones 9lbs... it .9 of 14.. Maybe i am just confusing this more lmao
  228. Sarah_V

    Cant work it out!!!

    It's because our calculations don't allow for the 14lbs to a stone, I always work out lbs to stone to the nearest whole stone and then add the extra lbs... not sure of the science behind it but I know exactly what you mean xxx

    Would you say you are/were addicted to food?

    If anyone is in doubt as to whether food is an addiction, go to an Overeaters Anonymous meeting.. I went several times and did find it very helpful.

    CD alternative??

    Hi loveablemonkey, I have no idea!! But thought I would drop by to say hi :) How many calories a day are you on? and how much are the protien shakes and multi vits costing? The answer to those questions may help someone to answer better than I can .. Good luck with you weight loss x

    I've just made crisps

    Not sure about the oven, but in theory it should work! Let us know how it goes cat-bee. I have chic and mush soup crisps a lot, I make it into big 'poppadoms' and when it's cooked break it up or just eat it like a poppadom... They are my life saver... Don't feel guilty mollydog :)

    Strange taste ....... Burnt toast!

    Hi triple trouble, Bad breath/tastes is unfortunately a side effect of ketosis and some ppl really suffer much worse than others.. I have found that it gets better and I know everyone says it, but the water really helps too.. Good luck x
