    Bouillon Powder

    Hi Pandora, Apparently you get the low salt one in Asda. I bought mine in Tesco and not sure if they do it, i just picked off the shelf and did not look.
  125. S

    Bouillon Powder

    I have said all along that if i am going to do this i can not stop it just for one day. I know that if i do i will never get back into it, so you have really done great coming back onto it. I am doing this for myself and the fact i wanna be a real skinny cow when i go away in June.

    Bouillon Powder

    Hi All, Just a quick question about bouillon powder, i was told we could have this on ss and purchased some today. Just realised that i bought the original flavour and not low salt. Am i ok to have this, sodium = 0.9 per serving, 12 cals per cup. Advice would be appreciated x

    2nd day on SS of CD.......

    I lost 7 1/2 lbs in my first week but everybody loses weight at different rates. They say on avarage you will lose a stone a month with the CD. Also at the moment i am drinking around 5 liters of water a day, the more you drink the more you shrink.
  130. S

    2nd day on SS of CD.......

    I dont know the answer to why you have not lost weight yet but give it sometime. How much water are you drinking? It will come off before your next weigh in, best not weigh yourself until offical weigh day.

    Saggy Boobs

    Hi Icemoose, Before doing this diet my aunt, who is a fitness lecturer, advised me to do lots of exercise because losing weight so quickly will make you have saggy skin. I am affaid of doing much as the calories are so low (thats my excuse anyway). How much exercise can you do on SS ?

    Underactive thyroid

    Thanks again dizzy & Pickle, I thought it was a little quiet on the posts. Pickle - you have done brill losing 2stone, so it never caused you many problems then with your weight loss. I don't think i should need to worry. How long have you been off the diet for.
  182. S

    Bad Taste

    Hi Pickle, I am sure a dentist told me one time not to use Corsodyl (before diet) because it stains your teeth. It should only be used for a short time for gum infections e.c.t. I cant be 100% sure but for some reason it springs to mind (my memory is failing lol).
