    Would Very Much Appreciate Some Advice xx

    Sugar apparently acts as a mild painkiller. Having said that i had a tatt on the instep of my foot whilst on ss. It hurt.... But not for long. You could always take a paracetamol just before..... good luck and post the piccys!!!!

But the best advice I have had is to ditch all your old clothes./ As your jeans start to get loose chuck them, buy the next size down and slim into them. A few weeks later you'll be buying the next size down again. If you...

    I'm sorry to hear your bad news Pheonix, try not to dwell on the negative if you can. I had to give up CD last year when I lost my job. The cost really is the only drawback to this diet.

    How to not think about food?

    Hi Pixie, Honestly, its like nothing else, if you have never been in ketosis it is difficult to explain, but it totally knocks your appitite out! YOu feel on cloud nine you really do. You get a burst of energy and it is so liberating to not be enslaved to food. The major drawback is that you...

    How to not think about food?

    Hi Summer, I have restarted CD today..so far so good. All I can say is that it gets much easier when ketosis kicks in.
