    Complaints

    How much water are you drinking? This is not normal for a prolonged period of time if you're having at least 3 packs a day and all your water. If you're already following the diet 100% then I think you should move up the plans. Maybe add a protein and veg 810 meal for a couple of days...

    Hello. I had huge problems when I was on SS for my first stretch this year. I was on for almost 5weeks straight. Then it stopped for a week then came back again! The diet messes with your hormones. Shouldn't be anything to worry about. But if you're unsure go to your doctor.

    When do people start to notice your loss?

    I've been putting bra shopping off! It's so expensive. I've already gone from wearing a 36H to wearing a 32H. I think I'm now a 32G - but refuse to buy one! Not sure I can put it off any longer! 32H is SUPER baggy, and my 32F are still way too small!

    Don't panic. It'll be water. I can't believe how much havoc tablets caused to my weight both the week I was taking them, and the week after. But honestly - I'm now out the other side and I've lost 3lbs in the last 3days! Stick with it - it'll be worth it I promise!

    Hello. An interesting experiment! However it is recommended that you do not plan to do a vlcd for less than 1month. Your first week losses will be big - but this will mainly be your body losing water and glycogen stores. As soon as you eat carbs again - this initial weight will be...

    Well as you say - at least you know. The antibiotics I was on a few weeks ago really screwed up my losses. I sts almost 3weeks. It took me 42days to lose my last stone - which is much slower than I had planned! But my measurements kept falling - so keep measuring!

    Well potentially you broke ketosis, which will mean you notice the hunger more. Your wrap was carbs. Keep the water up! If you stay 100%, you'll stay firmly in ketosis - so you won't feel the physical hunger as much (though the emotional hunger will still need to be dealt with!)

  191. J

    Gaining all the weight back?

    I think it depends. People how different amounts of water. Hence why everyone's week 1 loss is so different. Unfortunately the larger your week 1 loss - the more water you hold - so the more you might put back on. On the plus side - you'll lose it fast again though.
  192. J

    Average gains??

    I've had a couple of stops. I always estimate I'll gain whatever I lost on my week 1. Most of week 1 is water/glycogen stores. I've not quite matched that gain, as often I think I lose a pound or two in the week by healthy eating, which reduces the gain. So I guess it depends how much water...

    In case this is useful for anyone. I've pulled my daily losses into one thread! I'll continue to update it as I progress! Surreal seeing it all written down! Everyday listed is 100% SS and the breaks were predominantly (but not exclusively) SW. Day one - 16st 6lb Day two - 15st 13lb...

    Scary times on CD

    Hope you are starting to feel better! That sounds awful! After 4months on the diet earlier this year I had a bout of fainting episodes which after many hospital appointments and tests noone can decide whether its linked to CD or not. Hope you find out what is causing the pain, and you start to...

    What you want or what you're told? *wi update*

    Spangles posted some fascinating research on a recent post. I'll see if I can find it. It was talking about diets between 0 and 800 kcals have extremely similar weightloss patterns. Very odd!

    What you want or what you're told? *wi update*

    This is a tricky one. Particularly because CD only changed the rules earlier on this year. If you were starting 12months ago, you would be on SS. Has your doctor signed you off? If you don't feel you need it - I would drop the milk and see how you feel then. Moving from 810 to SS is...

    I think exercise helps too. A nice size 16 body that is toned looks so much better (in my opinion) than someone who is a 12 and is a bit 'flabby'. It can depend on your natural body shape, but I think the gym (and some well styled clothes) can definitely help trick the eye! :-)
