    Exante and alcohol???

    It doesn't affect me being in ketosis, but I fall off the wagon the next day as I'm so hungry. Its not worth the risk.

I must stop sabotaging myself, and also going out on the lash on a weekend and eating junk on a Sunday to recover. I just end up where I started. 2lb a week is definitely achievable, as long...

I had a think about it and the only thing I have to give up is the bread which I shouldn't be eating anyway...
