    Atkins/VLCD mix

    The point I was trying to make is that if while I'm doing low carb my calorie intake is lower then I will lose more weight, both Atkins and VLCD use ketosis so the extra energy move about more thing is irrelevant to that and I maybe clouded the issue saying "to any other diet". I know what you...

    I did it! I survived the first two weeks of low carbing!

    Pretty much, sometimes less calories I'd say between 200-450 I also snack on a sausage or some chicken chunks etc. Sometimes I only have 1 pack and a low carb lunch of about 200-300 and take a multi vitamin just to make sure.

    Atkins/VLCD mix

    Depends on the VLCD for packs per day, I'm using Exante ones which you only need 3 of without eating food so 2 Plus food and veg is plenty :) A calorie is a calorie on Atkins and any other diet, the only way to lose weight is your body burns more calories than it takes in. It's claimed diets...

    Atkins/VLCD mix

    Has anyone ever tried doing this? I've just finished my first week of doing my own twist to low carbing and have found it quite interesting. I'm basically doing an Atkins/VLCD mix with 1 or 2 VLCD packs a day for the super amounts of nutrients and then 1 or 2 (pending the pack numbers) meaty...

    Total Solution Food Choice: the lesser of 2 evils - help please!

    If you can eat the burger/cheese/salad and not have any sauce on it and leave the bun that would be the least carby, its the kind of thing you eat on atkins :) Obviously stay away from any chips that might come with it haha they are carb heaven.

    Poogatch's Diary - Day 13 Mrs P's Birthday :D

    Well, that was painless. First CDC I ring is absolutely lovely and says that's not a problem would just need to fill out the medical form. She even started asking me about exante as she'd not heard of it before and she only lives in the next village, result! I can relax now hehe Although if I...

    All the addresses on the emails/invoice on the site are fine it would seem. Wondering if I should start ringing round the CDC's tonight or wait and see what tomorrow brings, but if it doesn't show and I leave it till then and a CDC can't help me I'll be up shitcreek!

    Do you have an email address I can use Mini? Finding a telephone number was hard enough. I sent them a message using the contact form as that's all I could find. Might have to ring round the local CDC's and see if someone would be kind enough to sell me enough packs for the weekend if I need them.

    Hi guys, sorry I've had friends round today :) I just can't shift this hunger feeling, I've done well in not giving in to it but it's starting to annoy me! It just won't seem to go away and it seems like everyday someone is frying the smelliest of foods just to remind me haha

    I suppose in working from home the water thing is easier for me, I just fill my big bottles up and make sure im allways sipping from a pint glass i just constantly re fill. My stomach hasn't been rumbling, just a massive urge to eat something it's weird really. I do hope it goes away!

    Thanks aussieraquel, the amount of water that is considerd dangerous is a pretty extreme amount so i wouldnt worry about it. Just had my first bar (chocolate) and I've gotta say it's pretty rank!! texture is ok kinda fudgey but really not liking the taste :(

    Hi There - My diary!

    The intensity of the salty taste lessened after a while? I wonder why that is. How long into the diet did it taste nice to you?
  212. poogatch

    Hi There - My diary!

    I had a porridge on my first week, it was just so incredibly salty I hated it. The texture was REALLY nice which made it a massive shame, I could easily eat one a day if it wasn't so salty tasting :(

    The headache will pass scojos, it's a sign of ketosis. Just make sure you get enough water down you and you should be fine :) I had abit of a headache day 3 aswell but it soon passed, can sometimes get one in the morning because of not drinking all through the night but nothing major.

    Thanks for the kind words, it's really weird but I think I might actually be relieved, like i was settling for someone just because I wanted "something".

    Funny taste in my mouth has gone?

    Does this happen? the first few days I had a horrible taste in my mouth but today it seems to have gone away. I was firmly in ketosis yesterday but I don't have a test to see if thats what it is. I've not cheated, the only things I've had is the odd spray of gold spot and a couple listerine strips.
