    Why is Easter an excuse to break the diet

    i had a small egg and enjoyed it, back on track today no issue it is a bit hypocritical to have a go at people enjoying easter then having a week off the diet yourself starlight, maybe a bit of time away would suit, you seem to spoil for a fight all the time and jump on any one who says...

    are these avidlite shakes?

    are these the dietimeal or avidlite shakes as the bars are on there and wafers a bit cheaper but the website slim and save says theyre vlcd total meal replacement but elsewhere on this site someone said the avidlite ones are not total replacement, but are these the same products? dont want to...

    How would you feel

    if it works for them, their money is as good as anyone elses, and maybe they want to learn the sw way of life for after OR find a vlcd hard and use sw on the off days maybe theyre not 100% and get ashamed of saying so, so use the sw meeting in conjunction is it that different from those who...

    Cambridge -vs- Exante.

    from my experience, exante is for the more private/shy person as cd needs you to go to someone each week and that can be demoralising if u have a bad week mind u that can help others stick to it also so horses for courses product choice on cd is more, taste is relative, but none of the...

    Substituting shakes

    i dont think the science behind the different methods are that much different, it is easy to go on a plan such as exante or cambridge and get into a mindset that anything else wont bring the weight off if they are not on that plan but technically, but for the electrolyte issue and vits, the...

    Substituting shakes

    thanks ilovebiochem, im actually not decided as of yet i currently am on the shakes alone and am fine on them but when u look at what some people do without impact, ie having a cup of tea with milk- no effect, different bars - no effect, piece of chicken or cheese they should not have - no...

    Substituting shakes

    how am i a troll because of looking at alternatives? how silly to suggest and rather disappointing starlight, ive always looked at your diary and thought you were doing well most of the time, but as soon as something is challenged you dont agree with, these kind of replies come frankly i would...

    Substituting shakes

    yes but any diet is dangerous if self devised, there will always be something missing there, however we got in this shape because our health was not a priority and because we were not eating well there also im sorry some find it a hostile idea but all ideas should be welcomed, just as yours...

    Substituting shakes

    hmm ok wasnt a new thread but there we go lol, whenever this is mentioned, the vitamins comes into the equation, but noone died previously on their bad diet (bad due to weight gain one assumes) so it isnt life and death to not have 100% vits in everything and a decent supplement can give this...

    Substituting shakes

    well, based on before a diet menus being pretty vitamin deficient on the majority of terms, a good vitamin pill would solve that issue certainly worth consideration tho u have a point about the 18g extra if it were 3 shakes subbed for 3 shakes, tho the weight loss is due mainly to cals isnt it...

    Substituting shakes

    but isnt that only on the basis on looking at vitamin content for them? if that was disregarded for a moment, the rest is pretty much comparable, it is the mix tho and not the tetra 6g carb isnt that much higher, considering some of the bl bars and ultraslim show that kind of increase wrt the...

    Substituting shakes

    if they were used as a tfr though, the measure up, why would they not bring on ketosis if the nutritional is almost the same as exante +/- 1 or 2 grams, and certainly no bigger difference than the bar comparisons why would 3 exante shakes bring ketosis but 3 measure ups wouldnt, disregarding...

    Substituting shakes

    yep what i mean is, that the diet can be 3 of any shake/bar/soup combo cant it so one meal is bar, which can be modified with a cheaper one like the alternatives mentioned, with no ill effect so therefore, couldnt the others, for example the choc shake mix measure up is almost identical to the...

    Substituting shakes

    but u might argue, why pay for exante branding if cheaper items get the same effect eg these bars are cheaper alternatives yet work like their bars

    Fern's Ryvita Diet?

    Branded Bread Options - similar points

    Hello :D :wave_cry: We use milk roll for sandwiches etc, and 4 slices works out to be 3 points. We were wondering what other brand of bread people use (that may work out the same points for the same amount) for a bit of variation?

    Following on from the buying products on ebay

    i bought offline from a seller who sells nothing but CD shakes, soups, tetras etc, but the price was marginally higher than going to a CDC, about £36 for 21 sachets they get them from poland, as they are polish boxes, and talked about ordering for people specifically from their suppliers, i...

    Needed, one person, starting cb 20stone.

    only problem with such an experiment, is how would it be controlled, and how couldyou be sure the other person was doing it 100% (not claiming to) but actually doing it, to make any resulting conclusion valid?

    CD Vs Slimfast

    thanks so far, im just trying to determine what the extra cost for the CD shakes are, compared with the slimfast, the nutritional side of it is interesting, but if thats the only difference, is it worth the extra :S
  57. F

    CD Vs Slimfast

    and how much is ketosis relevant to the quick weightloss would u think? as in, compare ss with slimfast (assuming it was same nutrition wise) and CD, after say 4 months on both, would it be expected to lose more on CD?
  58. F

    CD Vs Slimfast

    but isnt the ketosis thing based on them being less carbs? if its the same or more than slimfast, wouldnt ketosis be possible on slimfast?
  59. F

    CD Vs Slimfast

    Comparing the two, slimfast has 13g of carbs, but CD shakes have 15g? Is this right? If not, how many carbs are per a CD shake please :)

    Sachets but Agoraphobic

    Hi I know that the only recommended way is to get them from a CDC, but what if you simply cannot leave the house? Does anyone buy them from Ebay and can recommend a seller? I would pay a bit more, ( not a lot lol) for the ease, until I am at a weight where I would leave the house :)

    11stone to come off - lets get going!

    i must admit im still confused by the logic, surely if ur eating around 500 cals, or a low calorie, food +vitamins or packs, and drinking 4litres +, ketosis would still happen, as its a body reaction?
  81. F

    11stone to come off - lets get going!

    but isnt vlcd = very low calorie dieting? i appreciate your opinions :) to be honest i got the idea from lurking on here the past week or so :s dont the packs give 500 cals but in a more vitamin enriched way?
