My question really was about the Avidlite site. I'd quite like to purchase a few products to add a bit of variety to CD now and then, i.e. the wafers and snacks. Can anybody tell me if these are suitable as a meal replacement or are they simply a snack to have in addition to your 3 packs a day...

Yes lol....it is the dreaded tomato...yuk!!! Also i would never judge any question on here as dim....if someone needs to ask a question then that is another reason that this place exists for us to post away. We all have questions.......have a lovely day. Shaz xxx

HONK for my sister, my wonderful sis started the same time as me....she has lost a complete stone in a week. She does not have a pc....so think i will do a tracker for her under mine. Well done to my sis Kerry :clap::happy036: xxx

:thankyou:What a very informative post....thanks Yambabe. Shaz x

Hi and welcome Jenny, I can only second what Myr and Yambabe have said. Good luck hun. Shaz x

Hi Yambabe, yes i did two ketosis/low gi/low gl diets before with little success. Anyway as i said i will give it another week....seem to remember when i did vlcd years ago....would loose a little more every other week. Just praying that it has nothing to do with that flippin Depo Jab lol...

It was awful Maggie but i went through all that withdrawal doing Golower and the Pig to Twig diets 9 weeks ago now....which is why i thought i would have coped better this week than i did on Vlcd....anyway at least the worst is over for me lol. Had one double espresso today though as a treat for...

Volvic sugar free does contain citric acid...i was allowed it in moderation on a different type of ketosis diet before....but you would not be able to drink it on Exante or any other vlcd that i can think of. Shaz x

Hi Claire, how are you getting on with the new diet? Hope you have got into the swing of things a bit now. I started mine about the same time as you....what are the food packs like? Shaz x

Thanks peeps, i have to agree on the sweetener thing....i am trying to retrain my taste buds and go without the sweet stuff. I used to be addicted to diet coke....would drink a minimum of 2 litres a day....and just think of the caffeine....i also drank 8 double espresso's a day. So i guess i...

HONK...for yesterday...day six...only today left to go to complete my first week. I will really have to try and keep busy today.

Hi Bubbles, i am only on day six.....but i seem to remember reading another post about this interfering with some people. I am hungry also....but as i have not completed a week yet, think i need to give it a little longer before i can make any judgement. Maybe you could try and split the bar...

Honk.....for yesterday...only two more to complete my first week. Shaz x

Hi everyone, i must say....that pink soup is the food of the devil lol:yuk:....has anyone got any idea's on how i can make it more palatable? Not too keen on the strawberry shake either. Normally pink is my favourite colour. :gen147: Shaz x

Hi Myr, i am just about to embark on day five...have a confession....i have only survived by having an extra pack of about 135 calories from a new you diet sample pack i purchased to try out. The problem for me is....i am used to having four packs a day. When i did vlcd before they suggested...

Hi sorry, just seen message....like Miss D said....i think you will have to see what your weight loss is like. Is it important for you to stay in Ketosis or not? Shaz x

Thanks Miss D.

HI AND WELCOME I really think you should stay away from the squash if you can....it depends on what sort of meal you are adding also as to wether you want to be in fat burning mode or not. Why not try sparkling water. Hot drinks are ok as long as the water is not boiling....i have mine just hot...

Thank you girls, i really value your support.....does anyone know if rooibos tea blended with real vanilla is ok? Seem to recall something about not all tea ok. Also does coffee have to be Decaff? It has been a while since i have done VLCD. Thanks again Shaz x

Hi Beachwhale, i am so happy for you that you are on day three.....you can do this. Take one day or hour at a time. I am sure that you will be thrilled once you get to your first weigh in. The first time round i found the first week really tough. I really don't know how i am going to be the...

You will get that tiny little 1.1lb off in no time....soo please don't let it worry you. It is just time to knuckle down this week and get back to plan. We have all done it hun....we are all human. Shaz x

Hi Purplekel, i think you are doing brilliantly......a little bit of pampering.....me time is just the thing to do. We can reward ourselves with lots of treats that do not involve food. Can't wait to find out how your first week has gone. Shaz x

Long may it continue for you all....can't wait to start next Sunday and join in properly. :D Shaz x

Wow Mathew, fantastic start to your journey....you must be absolutely thrilled. I might be wrong.....if i am....i am sure someone else will let you know....but i think you are supposed to be on four packs as a man. Still only one bar a day though. Shaz x

Bren, you do look fantastic....just had a sneaky look at your profile pics. Shaz x

Hi Yambabe, i really hope things get better for both of you. I think your recipes are great and you have really been an inspiration in so many ways. You always have time for others....offering advice and a shoulder to lean on. Try to have a lovely sleep. Shaz x

Hi Myr, good luck for results today. Hi Bren, what a really good tip about setting your mobile phone alarm. Shaz x

Hi girls, i definitely cannot get onto the Golower site anymore. They have cut me off....only option is to telephone and rejoin. I would think it is because....i was able to cancel my contract.....only did six weeks and was signed up for twenty. Because i was soo upset about not losing weight...

Hi Marion, Thanks for the message about the Depo...that has really cheered me up to think that all my problems with weight loss could be linked to it. Especially as my periods have not returned to normal yet. Pitipe and Jacquie......thanks for cheering me up too girls...good morning....the...

Nite girls.....and don't let her upset you anymore....together we are a force that nobody can mess with. Shaz xxx

Chat soon girls....hope you can still fill me in on the gossip. Well done with the brilliant weight loss....keep it up. xxx

Yes hun, she has no idea what it is like to be over weight and probably never will.....never mind.....i am a true believer in all that goes around comes around....he he.

How did everyone get on with the photo shoot day? Hope they had a fantastic time. x

OMG, she really does not make it easy for the dieter's that are in need of support. I really would not hold your breath....this is her second time..lol You know what they say 3rd time lucky...he he

You crazy girls lol, I nearly had to put a tenar lady on....reading your posts.....he he. Wish i could get on the site still....if only to get my own back and torment her.... Pig to Twig diet is not working either.....still the same weight. My metabolism must be sooo mucked up.....i had a DEPO...

Thanks hun, i should be ok with the headaches as i am already in ketosis from the high protein/low carb diet that i am on....but not losing any weight.....praying it is not working because it is too high in calories. Shaz x

I don't start this diet till the 14th.....but i have done lighterlife which i personally would not go back to again. I had to sign a minimum 13 week contract with LL....so had to pay no matter what....i got quite ill on it towards the end and all the counseller was interested in was the money...

Thanks Miss D, yes you are right about the bank balance bit.....but looks like Exante have a good deal at the moment. Also getting a little excited in the fact that i have just convinced my sister to join me on the same diet.:family2: This has really helped me make the decision to go for...

Hi everyone, i also wanted to keep in touch and say HI :party0011: from time to time.....tried to do this on Golower site....but they was very quick to cut me off when i left last Thursday. I will pop on this thread from time to time to see how you all are doing. Shaz x

I buy the colon cleanse tablet from holland and Barrett if you suffer from....or to prevent constipation you are advised by other low carb/high protein diets to take psyllium husks in capsule form....two in the morning. Also chromium supplement is supposed to build muscle...decrease body fat...

Thanks Magggie, i would rather take them....was just worried about overdose and the colon one stops you being constipated as i already follow a high protein/gl/low carb diet. The problem is i am still not losing any weight with this way of eating....so vlcd seems to be my last hope. Have a...

I have the previous one that ideal world did. I live in a flat and have recently had to give it to my sister.....neighbours underneath complain every time i try to use any equipment....lol.

Hi everyone, just need a little advice on vitamins.....i am not on vlcd yet and i know that lots of them already include all your nutrition...vitamins and minerals. This is what i currently take..... Omega.3 fish oil...1000mg Vitamin B complex with 500mg of vit C Chromium Picolante...200mg...

OMG, it is all coming back to me....i remember when i did vlcd a couple of years ago. Every where i looked i was haunted by food...lol...the tv especially. The other annoying thing was that my sense of smell became really heightened......i could smell a bakery from miles...

Thanks Kellyplanet, I have ordered the 10 piece trial pack......to see if i like it. Then it will be either New You or Exante. Many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to reply to me. Shaz x

Hi Hchappyh, Yes i was put on several different plans by the nutritionist....of which none seem to be working for me. I have also just completed a week on Neris and India's and have also stayed the same weight.....even though my carbs were greatly reduced. My body has just lost the ability...

Thanks Yambabe, I thought that the New You diet had more choice....but realise after reading one of your post's only some of the tfr packs have all the essential nutrition...minerals...vitamins etc. It is important for me to feed my body with the most nutritious option. Heaven knows these...

Hi Yambabe, Hope your day gets even better....sounds as though you are doing absolutely brilliant.....despite what ever else life is throwing at you. Shaz x

Hi Maggie, It has taken me two years to grow my hair back.....it was very long....and eventually had to give in and have it cut to just under shoulder length. That was because when it started to grow it went from ok thickness to very scraggly long ends. I can honestly say my hair used to be...

Thanks for the reply Jessie, Keep up the good work.....yet another one on this plan doing fantastically Shaz x
