    slim fruits

    Thanks for replying. I didn't realise acidifier 330 was citric acid! The artificial sweeteners..is that any? Like tablet form that I put in my coffee? Or just the stuff they put in these type of things.

    slim fruits

    I know if I ask officially they will just say no, but can anyone see any reason why I can't have 'slim fruits'. They would really help with ketosis mouth. It has little to no carbs in and doesn't have citric acid, so assume it wouldn't knock me out of ketosis? There's 24g in a pack, and they...

    Re start tomorrow

    god im so rubbish. i have started today, but it did cross my mind to have some pesto pasta for lunch and start tomorrow. BUT I RESIST. I'll be ok when I've got going, its just the first few days that are a mare. Not really because of hunger, mainly boredom and 'oh i should just do it tomorrow'...

SO targets below, and I will be updating when I reach them.:D
