Hi, well I can't advise you on which diet to choose but I know that years ago my Dr. advised me against the Cambridge diet, where as a doc' in the same group was OK with the Atkins diet. I have yet to mention Zero Carbs to him but others eating this way are getting great results. Why don't you...

http:http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?p=7924983#post7924983// Hi if you click on the link & read through the posts, it will help to explain. Really we only eat protein and no carbs at all. It is pretty strict but seems to work very well. You could also google 'zero carbs diet'. I miss...

Hello, I haven't posted for a while and when I did I started on the Alli forum then posted a couple or so times on the Atkins Diet forum. I have been lurking in Active Low Carber forums & came across Zero Carbing. Has anyone here tried it? There seems to be more than one form of ZC and quite a...

Hi both, I know one person who would just love to have your "problem"! Morenachica, have you lost 40 since June?? And in Italy, land of pasta!! I am off now to buy more salad.

I wondered about carbs in cream too. I like cream in my coffee.

I have ordered one from Amazon but it's a 1989 edition. I couldn't see any older. Ebay's Atkins were about the same age but dearer. I will keep a look out for the 1972, also the local charity shops. A friend got an old video tape she wanted in a charity shop.

Jim, I see you lost almost half your body weight, how long did it take you and did you ever stumble on the way? I have had about 16grms carbs I think so far today, which seems a lot over just two meals. The book I'm reading says 20 per day. I seem to have had an awful lot of salad veg. I have...

Thank you Claire, I see I am among successful low carbers here. Jim your before and after pic's are amazing.

The book I am reading is a nineties one, I will try to get a 1972 original.

I told no one I was taking Alli except on the Alli forum here. I am keeping quiet about Atkins just now, I am sure I'd get plenty of "advice" if and when I do. Do I really just need to count carbs and nothing else?

I didn't have any real side effects except for being rather loose but I both lost and gained weight. I was told to eat about 15gms fat per meal and 1400 calories a day. I was silly for starting Alli because I was sick of low fat diets. It was an expensive experiment. A friend is taking Alli and...

Yes, I have and they are very helpful. Thank you.

:(Well I am sorry but I give up.

Hello, for the last four weeks I have been taking Alli, I wish now that I had come here to the Atkins thread instead. I am reading the Atkins book which I have borrowed and intend to buy. So here goes. :)

Wrong thread, sorry. :eek:

Letty, I'm afraid this seems to be the forum of the living dead, posts are few & far between. I pop in & post but I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth it. I'm sorry I can't help because I am 'regular' & really have had no side effects worth mentioning. Can I suggest you post on the Xenical...

:bliss: Yay!! Congratulations!!

:) Good luck with your search.

http://http://www.sureslimuk.com/?q=information-request Hi, is the site you found?

Hey, I may have grumbled too soon, there's another lb off this morning! :D

Ah, I am the wrong person to ask, I am still undecided. This is my ninth day & so far I have lost 12oz. A loss is a loss but I expected more. I may not be following the diet correctly. I wish now I had asked my doctor for Xenical, it is double strength & less expensive - if the doc' had agreed...

Hi, I looked in this morning & hoped perhaps some one else could answer you. The fact is I just don't know. I wonder if you posted your query on the Xenical thread, Perhaps someone could help you there. At the moment I'm the the only one who seems to post here. My you will be a busy lady just...

Well, I am beginning to wonder if I have wasted my money. I find the guide lines hard to follow. The fat content of my meals is hard to balance - either too much or not enough. The Alli site is little or no help & everyone on this forum seems to have given up interest. I know it isn't a week yet...

Hi, I began Alli last Thursday. I too am finding it hard to follow the guide lines correctly. Today I have had; Breakfast - Fat 2.1, Calories, 119. Lunch - Fat 12.1, Calories, 311. I can only wait until I weigh myself again on Thursday to see if it has any effect.

Sorry Rosb, but what's wrong with tap water except it's cheaper? I am on low income & wouldn't dream of buying water which is on tap, much less have to cart it home. It flushes my kidneys just the same & if you want to weigh it, one pint weighs 20 ozs.

I got mine from Amazon, 84 for £41 odd, including postage. I had to email my BMI to the supplier but that was all.

Diets! I have tried most of them, I have lost weight a few years ago with WW but of course it went on again so for a long time I just gave up. To lose weight with WW I was allowed only 16pts. There has got to be a better way than that. Oh dear I have had more than my 45grams fat today, here's...

Thanks Vanda, it's just that the Alli 'instruction book' lol, says for my weight I can have 15gms fat per meal & 1400 calories per day. I suppose if I stick to the fat count the calories will be cut too. I'll skip the calorie count, Thanks again.

When you are counting calories do you count them all? I have just had a wrap for lunch & I counted every calorie, even the lettuce & tspn horseradish sauce. It came to 327 calories. WW don't count salad veg which accounted for 35 of mine. Am I being too fussy?

Hi RecoveringChocaholic, I love your name, I think I am too. I had three chocolates on Friday (had my arm twisted) & they just didn't taste the same. Any other time that would have set me off on an at least two week binge. This time nothing, yay!!

Sorry about the double post, I thought it had deleted so posted again! :rolleyes:

Well I have decided to have a salad and roast beef wrap for my lunch. When I was out I had a coffee with cream with a friend. I have yet to tell her about Alli. I just know she will disapprove. ;)

Thank you Irene, yes I've found the Alli thread. Oh what lovely babies! Congratulations, it's the best feeling - being a grandmother.

Thank you Vakwi, Iceland's savoury WW meals are £1 and £1.50, I didn't look at the desserts. I agree they are very small & I have a large appetite. I think I will use them as a back up. Congratulations on your success with Xenical, that is a very good loss.

Thank you Vakwi, Iceland's WW meals are £1 & £1.50 for the savoury meals, the desserts etc I didn't look at so I'm not sure. I thought if I had some in for back up. I agree they are very small and I have a large appetite. You seem to be having great success with the Xenical, congratulations.

Thank you 3stonetogo, Well todays the day! I decided not to have a pill with my breakfast, I am going soon to do a grocery shop & I was scared I had an 'accident' lol. I spent £40 on the things so here is hoping. Good luck with WW.

I have been reading through the thread, I mean to start Alli tomorrow and now I'm quite nervous. Alli are expensive, can anyone reassure me that they do work?

Hi Barmycarmy, good luck.

Just to say hello, I am joining the Alli forum, with my fingers crossed.. :) GtGn.

Hi everyone, I received my Alli today and hope to start with it tomorrow. I would welcome any advice you could give me. For instance would it be a good idea to buy in some Weight Watchers ready meals?
