Hi All My sister is on Slimming world and really struggling today! Shes asked me to ask you guys, what sweets are the best option for her to chose, when she HAS to have some!!!? Thanks Lydia

Hey all! Just wondered if anyone has tried giving up smoking using Champix whilst on CD? I am really keen to try it but I am worried that they will make me feel sick because of lack of food inside me!! Thanks Lydia

Hi all! I also want to give up smoking and I am on SS. I was thinking of trying the new tablet called Champix. Has anyone done the same and got advice?! Thanks Lydia

I think if the stick confirms it, it should keep me motivated not to cheat too!! x

Hey Maheen! What exactly is a toning table and where do I buy one?!!! xxx

What sweet flavours has everyone added cinnamon to and whats the general verdict on best flavours to do it with?! xx

Hey Cicerone! Have you tried the other flavours hot and decided those two are the best or are they the only ones you have tried hot? x

My CDC did give me one this week to try and I totally agree Rayven, I can see me using them for when I have cravings for 'real' food! I wish we could replace all shakes for bars tho as it filled me up much better and the taste was heaps better!! x

Hey Rayven! Thanks for your message, it really helps to hear other peoples advice x Can I ask what plan you are on? x

Hi Marian If SS+ is making you want to eat all the time! How are you keeping them cravings at bay? I have to say I am scared I will go back to my old habits! x

Hey slimoncemore! Thanks for your reply! I can see me taking a trip to Argus tonight!! How much water do you add to make so many hot drinks out of two sachets? x

Does anyone know if I can mix SS and SS+, so some days of the week have just three sachets and some days have 2/3 sachets with recommended 200 cal meal? Thanks Lydia x

I am on week three and feeling the cold terribly, I am so glad I am not alone! x

Thats very good to know! Thanks Twingo31! This website is fab for these kinda conversations! Its silly little things that I wouldnt want to keep bothering my CDC about but they are useful things to know! x

What are the symptoms?! xx

Thanks guys for your replies, the only thing I am finding is the inconvenience of making them at work, so bringing a hand whisk to work aswell makes it even more difficult!!

Hey all! How many of you actually have your ketosis level checked by your CDC. Mine said she doesnt check it for me but I can buy the sticks at a chemist if I want to! Is that right? Thanks Lydia xx

Hey thats good to know! I have been on SS for 3 weeks but I did come off the diet for a few days in week two as I went away. So do you think its best to do two straight weeks before I start them? Also do you know the reason why its ideal to wait two weeks? x

I just wondered what people felt about warm shakes and how to make them? Do I still shake them in the shaker?!! And what flavours taste best warm? Thanks its fab to have other peoples feedback! Lydia x

Hey does anyone know if its ok to have bars on SS and if so how many can I substitute for shakes? Thanks Lydia x

(Can we have nutmeg? I added a little grated nutmeg to my vanilla shake which i had warm the other night and it was amazing. ) Hey Twingo31 Can I ask, to make your shakes warm, do you still shake them in the shaker? x Thanks Lydia xx

I pay £1.84 for shakes/soups and £1.90 for tetras & bars. I cant believe how much prices vary from person to person!

Hi all, what is a tetra?!! xx

All three meals are Chocolate mint for me!! served really cold.....

Me too!!! :)

I dont seemed to have felt quite as sick today so hopefully its wearing off but I will try the glass of water first! Thanks x

Thanks sleepybird! I will continue to try without then x

Is there a upper limit of water we should also be aware of? xx

I find everyones stories really inspiring, its so useful hearing about all the good & bad experiences other people have had, plus its so nice to know that other people are struggling too and that I am not alone!! xx

I def agree, if it wasnt for my partner moaning about the lack of attention I would also spend much longer on here~!!

My period pains are normally unbearable, not had TOTM yet since being on CD but after reading all your feedback I am now really hopefully that I will also benefit from the reduced pain :) x

and would it effect me if I did, as I really dont like coffee without milk!

Confused........can I have semi skimmed milk on SS? x

I have found being on here, (for hours - reading everyones stories!) has really helped distract me! xx

Ps are you on SS+ to be able to have the milk? or can you have it on SS? x

sweet-like-coco, if you do decide to mix in the milk can you let me know what you think of it? If the mixes taste better? Many Thanks Lydia x

Well done Tanya, I am a new comer and its really inspiring to see people like you succeding and sharing your stories, so well done and thank you!! x

Thank you Lucky Star what a useful website!! x

Hi quick question all, if away and not on Cd but still trying to avoid carbs, are there also any salad/veg options that should be avoided? xx

Reading what others have written I feel very excited at the prospect of treating myself to a coke zero!! I am too a bit of a Diet Coke addict so knowing I can have coke zero has really made my day! Has anyone had any negative reactions to coke zero on CD? xx

Yeah I am getting the funny aftertaste too, i am glad to hear it goes though after a while!

Hey Lostris! Thanks for your replies.........just read that you have hit your goal....well done you must feel fantastic :) I have very much admiration for you sticking to it x

I am so glad the sickness will pass! You have given me hope now! Ta very much!

Thankfully havent encountered the dreaded garlic whiff yet! I am sure it wont be long tho!! :)

Thanks for the reply Sack the Juggler! I was washing up last night from families dinner and one had had Ravioli which I normally love but honestly the smell was making me want to gag! and I totally agree about being able to smell a mile off! (not sure how new that is to me though cos I am now...

I am finding I am feeling quite neaseous, just wondered if anyone else felt this and what times of the day other people are having their shakes as maybe I am leaving too long between them or not enough time?? Ta Lydia x

I cant seem to find any threads or posts on here where other people have had their sense of smell or taste affected by CD but I am only on day 3 and already the smell of some normal food is turning my stomach??? Anyone else had the same?:newbie: Ta Lydia x

Also how long have you all done on SS before going onto SS+? I am still in week one of SS and as you can see the only thing getting me through is the thought of moving onto SS+!

Hi all! Does anyone have a list of veg/salad you are allowed when you go onto ss+? Ta x

Thanks muchly for advice KD! Will try! :)

What a fab idea to mix and match! ;)

Hi all! I have been on the diet for 3 days and no sign of needing the toilet at all yet! Is that normal? I am a usual 'once a day girl'!! Any advice??? Thanks Lydia x
