You've answered your own question there! Because SW is base on feeling fuller and more satisfied by eating the right foods. If the food doesn't do that, it's high syns. Good luck x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Morning, . I did think about the container thing but that's just an added chew on, on a morning. Even if the packaging is one sided it doesn't seem to scream slim and save, im in a new job and you know how judgemental people can be with this diet, I'd rather not attract any attention! That...

Oh no. See for me, I much prefer the Cambridge products, but because the packaging was discreet i much preferred SMS because it was easier to get away with it at work. :( hmmm. Not sure what to do now as I loved the Thai. Thanks for replying x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

It's been a while since I've done s'n's and just wanted to ask: Has the Thai soup been discontinued? Do they now have the name/logo on the packet? What made me prefer sns to the other vlcd previously was the discreet packaging - I could pretend I was just having a cuppa soup. Cheers, Kingy x

I think this is a bad idea. You're tweaking it to fit what you're eating and not really following a plan. On WW You can have these things and point them, but you also have to point everything else. On SW you don't need to worry about how much free stuff you're eating (within reason) but this...

Sorry, forgot to say well done on the 4lb loss! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

That's the problem though little miss. For a lot of us, eating until satisfied means eating until its all gone. At least for now anyhow, until new habits are learnt. Whilst there's not too much damage you can do with fruit and veg, with pasta and rice you really can. Also you're presuming that...

Anything from 60g - 80g (dry) is an acceptable portion to have. 100g when you're really hungry. I feel over 100g would be over eating. I'm exactly the same as you which is why I struggle with sw a bit, but if I weigh these things out I feel I still have some control and I know I haven't...

Brilliant, thanks very much Kirsty x

Hello all, hope you had a good christmas. I'm thinking of going back to SW classes. I've attended before and have my books etc and to be fair, between the books and here, it's pretty easy just to go it alone. But I think I'd like to attend a class. Due to working restrictions it would...

Hiya. I don't have one but I've heat nothing but good about them. Although technically it's meant to be an 'air fryer' they do say really you need to use a teaspoon of oil for best results. So you would just need to an the oil if you were doing a green day - I'm not sure about red days as I...

Just to add, another one that had an horrific time on cerazette. Regarding the bleeding though, I bled LITERALLY constantly from starting it. At my 3 month check up, the nurse said to me sometimes if you start it and catch a wrong point of your cycle, the bleeding simply won't get any better...

Hi all, is the Thai soup like the CD one? Or is it a meaty sort if taste?? Cheers, Kel xxx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I don't think you can get online free, but if you look on the ww website, I got a free work for the meetings. So take your voucher along and get your books etc Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Yes, but you have to think at what time are you weighing (morning vs evening) and also you have clothes on at ww ( I hope!!!) and probably weigh naked at home? X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I used to get this as soon as I want into ketosis, it's an awful feeling! Definitely something g that worrys me when I do this diet. It does go away as soon as I start eating though so I do think it's just a side effect. Glad doc said all was ok cxx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Yes starlight, I was told by fpc and the gp that the mini pill is less effective on women over 12 stone and I should take two until im at least near that weight. One nurse I went to after poo'd the idea and refused to prescribe me double though, but if you look online there's loads of info on...

Hi nic, I get this loads when first starting the packs. You can get asda own indigestion tablets for £1 for 12. It's like asda own version of zantak meaning you only need one a day. I find them brill for getting through the first few days x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I think you're entitled to have your little moan and calling of her after everything she said. To be fair, you must feel so smug. She's evidently done herbal life because of you . Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Next time she is rude to you, you should say to her, I'm sorry me losing weight is obviously making you feel insecure, but i'm doing this for me, for me to feel better, so of you can't stop with the sarcy comments we can't hang out anymore. Or, in honesty, I would say, I'm skinner than you...

Yeah it could possibly be that. But I was drinking the 2 and a bit litres, do you think I probably needed more? I'll make sure I drink more this time round . X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hallo. I've been doing cd/as for few weeks now, do really well then I get those headaches and illness I posted about and stop. I thought if I write down what I've done an how I feel day by day then I might be able to pinpoint the problem and get some advice at the time. Also, it might make me...

Thanks guys I will do. I have problems with my sinuses and it seems to give me sinus headaches, the pain is unreal. I think I'll do what has bee suggested previously where you cut down a few days before going full throttle. I never do that and go straight into it, so hopefully that might help...

Hi chelly, thank you xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Ok, I'll start again tomorrow and ride it out. It's bloody awful though! I get a right shock going from feeling to feeling like that!! Thanks starlight . Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I've tried a few times and I go into ketosis between 2/4 days depending and I get them the day after I go into it. I feel like I can't speak properly too. Do you think I need to just ride it out? I hate headaches and they're pretty bad. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Actually I know it's a stupid question really. I'm going to try and ride it through this time. But god am I dreading these headaches again!!! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Know this is probably a really stupid question, but I was wondering if I stuck to this but had the odd sugar in my tea/an orange/ carny veg so that I didn't go into ketosis, would I still get the same losses? The carlories would be minimal extra. It's just for me, I get really poorly when I go...

Hi all. My microwave has gone bang and I can't get a new one till the weekend. Do you think I can make the meals with just hot water? I only eat the mac cheese and the mush pasta meal wise? X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I emailed them and rob replied at 9:45 last night saying they had a faulty batch of veg soups and will get me some replacement sent out. Now that is extremely impressive customer service I must say!!!! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hi guys, my last 2 orders I've had burst packs, 9 today. Does anyone else find this? X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

When I read up on it, the main consensus is that they purely didn't study it for longer than 12 weeks and therefore can't legally say how your body would react longer than 12 weeks on vlcd. As starlight says, it's to do with increasing your calorie intake as opposed to taking you out of...

I've also noticed itching. I thought about t being the diet then thought nahh. Maybe it's something to do with the liver detoxing, because you itch with liver problems? X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

To add to my reply, would the vegan bouillion be ok?

Thanks for that lanark, I was going to post about feeling a bit sickly and getting really hot (as in cheeks flushing and face burning, my flipping hands and feet are still freezing!!!). That could well be it. You sound like you're under alot of pressure Nyssa, hope you're feeling better soon x

Ohh, I'd quite like to know the answer to this also. Has anyone tried the white wine water flavour as well please? Is it like wine or a bit sweet?

I used to use Riverford.co.uk Service was very good, but I did find it expensive for what you actually got

I also find I'm sleeping really bad since starting, I know what you mean, total mind whirl. I'm waking earlier too. I know More energy is good, it not when you're sitting up till 3am and have to be at work in the morn. I hope it settles down x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

It is stated In the book, and from memory on the website, that you should only have one bar a day as more and it's possible they can kick you out of ketosis. Some people are less sensitive and can have more, it really depends on you. Also it is also advertised that you shouldn't have the bars...

Lol Charlie! How did you go yesterday? I've got 10lbs off so I'm pleased with that. I've been very very close to giving in! Xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Oh my god. I'm into day 5 and I've gone from feeling full of beans, happy with my weight loss and bouncing about to absolutely knackered, craving food really badly. I've got the shakes and I feel really weepy. Will this pass? Xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

That will probably knock you out of ketosis shaz x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hi, Sorry this sounds dead neurotic. I'm sitting up watching movies, would normally be asleep wish id gone to bed! But, I'm sitting and got a really strange feeling and then I went absolutely freezing. I've got a strange feeling in my chest, not pain or anything just weird. I feel a bit...

Hi Davies I cant remember whether I read it on the Cambridge site or in the book we get, but it definitely says that the quick weight loss does affect the contraceptive pill. I think it's to do with the Massive change in hormones from the fat loss. It does say you should take extra...

Hiya that's good to hear. The reason I asked is because it has citric acid in it I think? I can't take ibuprofen as I've had ulcers. I've just had to take somemore tonight. Being a bloody woman eh? :) x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Not from the Bristol area, but have you tried the website? It's really trial and error finding the right one. I did this for under 2 weeks last year and used a different CDC this time and it makes a hell of a difference. I'm much more motivated. I would definitely get rid of her, she sounds...

Yeah that's a fair enough take on it rach, just ignore those posts and let them get on with it. It is a public forum after all. I just wanted to say I knew where Beth was coming from and didn't think she was just moaning :). We're all in it together xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I can see beths point. I only started yesterday but been reading the forum for a while and I do read some people's posts and think really? You are just taking the p*ss. I don't think ( and correct me if I'm wrong) that Beth is talking about people who have a slip up now and again. I'm sure I'll...

Hi all. I started yesterday, really struggled but managed 100%. Today I've got my period and tried to get away with just paracetamol but I can't. Does anyone know if dissolvable co codamol would damage me going into ketosis? Cheers x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hi Louise, I'm starting tomorrow as well. So nervous! I'm worried I'll just give it up like most of my weight loss attempts! I'm planning on losing 2.5 stones then move up the steps, maybe another 1.5 after that. Good luck with your journey! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Aw that's great, thank you so much x

Hi Pingu, I'm a veggie and I think SW is very veggie friendly. I only do green days because of this, but it all still works! Good luck x
