    Thanks Marie, first day is always difficult for me, but after that I start getting into the habit and it becomes easier. Weasey - Thank you too! Is there an on-line diary I should keep or do you mean a simple paper based one? Hoping to be a maintainer like you soon!

    on the hunger note, do remember if you push yourself hard and body is hungry you must eat right away, in our case a shake or a bar, the body goes in hunt of food and if it does not find it then it eats the muscle. So be careful not to push it too hard at this point.

    It would be a protein based meal, like chicken with salad. You will need to remain in ketosis i believe for LLL but maybe im wrong on that as its a little amount to loose. Some members on her are onthe diet so they can advise you about it.

    10 months for body to "reset it's memory" Fact - or myth?

    Anything that helps people keep it off after a lifetime of struggle is worth it. Interestingly enough i know a man (friend) who has trained with Paul Mckenna and i quizzed him about the "i can make you thin" TV show, apparently it has a 70% success rate, that is something worth looking into as...

    10 months for body to "reset it's memory" Fact - or myth?

    Same principle i believe on LL, you start to reduce the packs until you hit the 1500 cal marker. Im just thinking if its wise to use the CD program for RTM over LL. Im on a time frame before i go holiday. In theory it should not matter. LL does this 3 packs one meal, then it becomes 2 packs...
  124. H

    10 months for body to "reset it's memory" Fact - or myth?

    KD can i ask you what the difference is between CD's RTM and LL im about to do it for 12 weeks is it the same on CD? I know i just switched hte topic, but im just wondering about 12 weeks on RTM is it really that necessary since not too long ago i believe the RTM on LL was 8 weeks?

    10 months for body to "reset it's memory" Fact - or myth?

    i may need to get those KD. Good list there ;) I think its also important to remember that even after 10 - 12 months weight can still easily be put back on. Now Muscle mass is the other one, thats the safer avenue, the more you have the higher your metabolism and the easier it is to control...

    Hey Lind, well the ideal thing is to eat healthy and only eat junk food if i fancy it once a week. Exercise doing cardio and weight training to keep in tone. I was looking at a website on calories, it will take a man 3500 calories to gain a pound of fat. A woman is less at 2500 - 3000...

    Bars or shakes/soups

    No it wont affect you they say but I have wondered myself about this, I believe you are literally talking minuscule amounts of weight (ounces) in difference. So overall i would say its not a noticeable difference. But make sure you take 1 a day only as the carbs are higher

    LL are too slow compared to the rest, they need to get their act together, maybe we ought to write in collectively and protest.

    A bit uncomfortable...

    Its perfectly normal, i have the same situation, if you are uncomfortable then you can switch, there is an LLC in Ilford called Heather Williams, she is quiet good. But that will be the case if you cant resolve the issues, its normal though just talk to her about it and explain the situation
  218. H

    If LighterLife asked your opinion...

    I would second that and say add more packs and bars, it is possible there are plenty of VLCD diest out there with so much more variety. But of course they will need to invest in this research and develope thier own flavours..... I doubt they will do anything about it in a hurry
