    This is weird!

    My belly is certainly flabbier and looks bigger than it did although on measurments it isn't! Weight gains over a day or two days can be just fluid retention... if you are doing your plan 100% it cant be anything but fluid... i put 3lb on one day this week and it took a few days for it too...

    Onions anyone?

    no onions! Have a look though your booklet it tells you what you can and can't have but if you are on SS you can have the packs and nothing else! SS+ you can a small amount of green veg with your SS+ meal. :) x

    mixed grill theory?

    Ketosis is actually the process of a body burning fat and one of the beneficial side effects for us is that the appetite reduces. You can diet and loose weight without being in Ketosis, but as you rightly say it is much easier if you have the benefit of not feeling hungry which we would...

    Anyone here use a Brita filter?

    I use bottled water too as it is sooo cheap and our tap water is very chlorinated.. Remember if you use a water filter, you need to drink the jug load quickly or keep it refrigerated, as the filer removes all the stuff to stop the bugs growing in the water. x

    A little advice please...

    There is a lot of research out there that shows that in fact those who follow VLCD's are more likely to keep weight off than when having lost it by other means, I think what happens is that when someone loses say 7s tone in 6 months and they put it on again quite qucikly (because they went back...

    Why aren't eggs allowed in CD SS+?

    This is an interesting one.. I suppose like you say the nutrtion will fit into a ss+ meal as long as that meal small as it is can be balanced by still having some greens? x

    Woohoo weigh in this morning and I lost...

    absolutely fantastic Rose!!! Did you do anything different this week to get this lovely result??? x
  232. T

    mixed grill theory?

    I think the answer to your question is that although the diet is generally high in fat it is often very very high in protein, I believe that protein actually supresses the appetite much faster than most other food groups, so you do in fact eat less than you think you are eating. This on top of...

    Clothes shopping

    Hey i know what you mean.... when i used to shop with my teens, i used to scan the racks for sizes rather than suffer the humiation of ruffling through them only to realise there was one crappy item in a size 22/24..

    mixed grill theory?

    its not calore indueced it is carb induced... if your body desnt have enough carbs to burn for energy, the next thing it turns to for energy is fat... hence ketosis! x

    mixed grill theory?

    Thats the whole point of a VLCD, to keep it as a VLCD :) the only reason you eat the 'measly' amounts is to bring the cals/ carbs up slightly either to suit the plan you are on or in the case of the 810 week, to raise your metabolism for a week to allow your body to recover a little as...

    Why do people think it's ok to ask your weight?!
