    weight loss on 1000 cal plan.

    i stepped up to 1000 plan and sts-ed but because your a man, you should lose more than us women for sure, I think you could expect 2 lbs a week with a little exercise.

    A big big thank you to you all.

    WW has a low Gi plan which may be a better option than points. good luck and i understand

    Week 3 loss, will this carry on??

    It seems that the more you have to lose, the more you will lose in the begining. so once your weight starts coming down, dont get a shock if you do start slowing down. sometimes significantly. Good luck and enjoy it while you can

    Quick Quorn Question

    I think on the 810, they shoulnt be a problem because you are eating a few extra carbs and things like lemon and such, so when you look at the nutitional in fo they dont look too bad. You are prob not in ketosis anyway are you? Then i wouldnt worry.

    Hypothetically, an evening off?

    It takes 3500 calories to lose a pound and 3500 to gain a pound. for every 200 calories you burn off you will also burn off 50g of carbs. but remember your calorie intake for the entire week combined. it is really very difficult if not impossible to burn off 3500 in a week while dieting.

    Exercise

    Exercise isnt recommended on ss until week 3. could you take a small break or slow it down a bit until your energy returns? It will return soon.

    hi Nikki, 810 for a couple of weeks is a good idea. iwont go directly into 1200 or 1500 for hols though. you have time to work up the plans. So you could gradually add the pans before hols and hope to stabilise or gain little. so why dont you go from 810 to 1000(which introduces carbs gently and...
  56. W

    Is 810 worth it?

    why do you think you will go out of ketosis? skimmed milk is already in many of the shakes anyway. If you stick to plan you wont go out of ketosis. Stepping up to 810 for a week will replenish your metabolism, so the week after you will see a nice loss. It does really work. Try to stick to plan...

    Can CD ever stop working for some people?

    Broxie, what i mean is if you step up a plan for a week(and then return back down the following week), you may find that it can boost your metabolism a bit and you may see a better loss. I plateaued for a few weeks and did this. It seems to have helped
  82. W

    Can CD ever stop working for some people?

    But KD, isnt the reason for stepping up every 12 weeks (or 5 weeks as it used to be) to reduce the risk of losing lean muscle mass? re:this is what happens in famine mode, because there is no more fat for the body to burn so it turns to the lean muscle? Why would it turn to lean muscle...

    Can CD ever stop working for some people?

    I find that stepping up every 6th week really kick starts the ss back up.

I may be bold but could even suggest trying to step up every week you expect your totm. SS+...

    both are fine according to CD, BUT as everyone is different we will react differently. I can tell you for sure with my experience with sparkling water (which I love), it put me into a plateau. As soon as I cut it out, I went back to losing as normal. Dont think it was a coincidence either...

    small losses

    For some the rapid weight loss IS important and i understand that. In fact, if the loss is more rapid you may be less likely to get "fed up" and give up, but as i said, I have done WW and lost on it too. (not as fast of course) but the losses also slowed down on WW too. What Im trying to say is...

    Antacids?

    Well hun, I occasionally take ducolax which has glucose and it doesnt knock me out of ketosis. i think if you really need it, take it for comfort, but only if you need too. Good luck

    Antacids?

    So does that mean you get heartburn with evrything you eat/ even CD? are you ss or ss+?

    First meeting with counsellor...

    welcome and good luck with CD. you will find that your tastes could change over the weeks and you may even find a soup you enjoy.
  219. W

    Antacids?

    Antacids slow down your digestion so it seems they would be off limits but hopefully someone with more knowledge on this will be along soon. why do you need them?

    Dry Mouth

    Get the listerine strips. They are fab and allowed. if you are in ketosis it is unlikely that your dry/bad breath will go away. It is a side affect of every low carb diet, not jut CD. good luck

    Why am i still hungry?....

    i find splitting my shakes, DOsENT help, but that is just me. Peppermint tea and loads of decaf coffee get me through those hunger feelings. good job for not giving into them.

    CDC's

    Put it behind you girl. either change cdc or confront her. Tell her what you know from the forum and teach her a thing or two. I wouldnt let her get away with it, no way! It is not in the cdc code of conduct to do that, im sure. anyway I would kill for 4 1/2 lb loss1! Great job. youre back on...
