Boosshing?

Thanks you lovely bunch!

Hiya... Not sure where else to put this, but I'm doing SW at home so thought this might be the best place... With Syns, ie working on a 20 cals per Syn basis, if you exercise and work off the amount of calories consumed...does this mean you have effectively cancelled out the Syns and can have...

Good lass! I can totally see where you're coming from, I'm sat here with size 14 skinny jeans hanging off me, had loads of compliments etc.....and had a little break from lipotrim.... But, in my hears of hearts I know that I've had these jeans for ages and they're probably hanging off me due...

You're putting far far less into your body each day on the shakes....you're probs gonna lose no matter what....BUT.....it'll take hella longer.

Energy will come after the first week or so. Coco butter works a treat too, cheaper than bio oil! You tried them electric tabs?

I find it smells like custard...but tastes more like warm milk! I've mixed the strawberry and vanilla ones together.....kinda cherryish!

I hear you there like, EVERY person on my team at work is on a diet....therefore EVERY conversation MUST be about the meals they've planned....how many calories etc.....!

My pharmacist recommended supplements...in general....however....a lot of them are wrong! I'd defo check with Lipotrim directly re additional potassium :)

It *MIGHT*...citric acid/artificial sweetener in it kicks some people out.....but some are fine....I'm fine with it like.

Splenda sweeteners are sucralose based, they're better, in general. Not sure about that joints thingy though

There are a fair few similar diets to this that are more lenient, ie lighter life etc, that have water flavourings...but it's only 2litres......do we need the craving triggering niceness? :/

Might try the coconut ones....my pharmacist never has them in!

Aye, VERY sour tasting...like someone's crumpled up wet cardboard...rubbed sweeteners ALL over it and let it dry. Then flattened it.

If you're 'stinky' then you might already be in ketosis...... I restarted Monday and I'm in ketosis....or so the ketostix tell me :p

I was thinking it's probably more to do with stored fat being burned while in ketosis.....then being stored again in certain areas when we start eating normall. Guess that's why refeeding is so important!

Anyone else noticed that if you come off 100% TFR for a little while and don't eat sensibly that you get LOADS of cellulite???? Is this karma or your body's way of kickin your dimply ass for being so stupid?

Thanks for the responses, did a full day yesterday! Hopefully I'll make it through the weekend haha

Have a lot of water! Coffee! Tea! Anything other than munch!

Thanks for the replied :) It's junk food I'm craving and cracking for :( Fingers crossed I'll make it through the day haha, can't believe how easily resolve crumbles when faced with crisps!

Why is it so hard to restart? Did well 'til I got home Tuesday and binged.....bigtime! Yesterday, did well 'til I got home and binged again! So I'm doing 2 shakes, all the water needed and then caving when I leave work! Bad times!

Ooh, I might try this myself!

Enjoying the chicken soup so early on in the diet makes you exceptionally strange. FACT! :p

That's an epic introduction! Hello and welcome to hell....sorry...I mean lipotrim haha Good luck :D

As low carb/fat as possible, steak and salad/veg?

I see, thanks for the heads up love, looks like soup is off the menu then hehe

Cheese! Pork scratchings! Cream! Pulling on my Atkins days here.....think it's only carbs that kick you outta ketosis like. I put a lot of chinese 5 spice into the soups when I'm pan heating them too, fine for me ketosis wise!

I had an accidental 3 days off and this is my 3rd day back on 100% TFR...and I'm somehow in ketosis already...!

Happy birthday!!

Mine's normally fine, sometimes they don't have the whole variety in but I don't really mind. You should make a complaint though, if you've specified what you want and the keep getting it wrong. You're paying for the 'service'.

I noticed you posting that the other day.... Full fat milk has less carbs you know?

As I had a day or so off ( :break_diet: )....does anyone know how much of a problem it would be to use one of the extra vanilla shakes I have lying round sparingly in coffee? I could make one last about a week!

Good luck :)

Looks like ketosis has well and truly kicked in for you :D

First time round I did, couple of stone. Back on after a couple of years off, I did low carb a year or so ago and had similar results :)

Check out the Atkins forum on here, VERY helpful, I was doing it for ages x

How did the restart go pet?

I do aye, easier to use a little bit warm water and then top up with hot when in a cup.

PS, if you're struggling with water, I find it easier to drink it warm.....goes down easier!

I even had my eyes crossed for a bit there. My original post said : hoof luck x

Sometimes it can take a while to get into the mindset of full food replacement, don't worry too much, just try and monitor what you're doing and break the habit slowly x

I dooooo.... But, I prefer hot vanilla with coffee!!!! Oddly, the choc mixed with coffee tastes like ass.

I tried the peanut one dunked in coffee.....takes the edge off!

I find making them with extra water helps, dilutes the taste!

Thank you ;)

Thank you :)

Thank you :) :)

Totally gonna cry. Been a massive douchebag at the weekend, was helping my sister clear her back garden and she made me a chicken wrap…I ate without thinking L My partner then offered to get a takeaway, seeing as I’d broken the diet anyway…..so I took him up on the offer…..could barely eat...

Aw hey, I'm back on tomorrow as well, good luck x

What an arse!!!

Dont!!! Just take it one day at a time, it might seem hard right now....but come tomorrow morning you'll feel different! It's getting lateish...bed soon...then up and 'shake'.....give it one more day??

I didn't trust that last fart. Bloody lipotrim!! :o:eek:

Doesn't make a difference. To be honest, some people try the Ketostix and show they're not in ketosis...even though they clearly are. They're not 100% reliable....doesn't stop me buying them though ;)

A lot of people stay in ketosis while on the atkins diet for example while eating loads of cheese....but...some of us are particularly sensitive to cheese and cream...and it may affect you. It's done now....you'll soon know if it's kicked you out, wouldn't worry about it pet :)

Any trace is fine :)

Got your attention? Hehe. Mixed strawberry and vanilla together, halved it...blended with ice...tasted like cherry!!!

Be better in my partner would eff off with his massive bowls of pasta!!

Always worth a try hehe....I have a Mr Frosty too though!!

Not sure if a hand blender would work on ice cubes like...

Fingers crossed!!

Am just on me second week now, lost 12lb in first week....

On day 9 now....had first weigh in on Monday just gone, lost 12lb :)

A lot of people chill it then use it like. I blend up loads of ice cubes, add the water and the powder and blend it all up again...makes a slushy type shake, much more filling...and you can use a spoon!!

Good job you found us eh ;) Good luck :)

If you have a pound shop near you they sell handy little shaker bottles :)

Hello!! I'm just starting out too....not far from you pet, am in Gateshead!! First week is a *****, after then...it's all good!! Stick at it!

Ugh! Did trampoline and boxing last night....felt like I was moving in slow motion the whole time! Anyone else had that? Slept as soon as my head hit the pillow! Also, weight ever so slightly up this morning.... :(

I miss Yorkies. Like a brother.

Ok. So now Sims on FB is mocking me. Grilled cheese week. Eff off!!!

I lost about the same in my first week too, it's awesome isn't it!!!

I'd rather not scald my face RIGHT off...maybe you should try first and let me know? :p Haha, wouldn't advise it like.....

I tried a hot choc shake in my mains blender the other night...the lid popped off!!!!!

I'm thinking about asking for a couple of sachets now!!

Chicken and Broccoli!! With gravy!! Odd I know.....

Aye, they're not doing you a 'favour'...you're friggin paying for the 'service'....make them do their job!!!

They're in the Tesco pharmacy :)

Thanks people :) I got my ketostix at Tesco for a fiver...

Had my first weigh in today...I started last Tuesday...but went today for my packs...and I've lost 12lb.... :wow: :banana dancer:

It probably would have tasted just the same as when blended...however...it was exceptionally lumpy! Vanilla dumplings, anyone? :p

The more weight I lose the closer I get to roundhousing the lot of them!!

Now hey! It was The Host! Gimme SOME credit woman :p

I caught myself bubbling reading a friggin Stephenie Meyer book the other day...defo the diet!!

'Chin's' up pet... Stick with it and soon it'll just be 'chin' ;)

I use a blender....adding the powder to hot water was a total fail for me!

I think this diet causes a lot of emporary side affects like! Have you tried coconut oil? (Not cocoa butter) I use it now and then, melt it in my hands, rub it into scalp and then comb through my hair...leave it on overnight....really strengthens hair and conditions your scalp! It's good...

That and facebook....everyone seems to be posting pics of scran they've made or updating status's about what they're just about to have or have just had....ugh! If my laptop wasn't balanced precariously over my belly I'd be half tempted to cheat!

I totally noticed some on my thighs!

It'll probably taste vile as your tastebuds won't be used to it! Odd how this diet changes your palette!

I ALWAYS get dry lips and mouth on this....or any low carb type diet. Not sure how it works like, but I've noticed it when I go into ketosis. I've had orange snot..... Nice.....haha

I think it's the polyols...ie the sweetener used in the sugar free version of gum. Some people are sensitive to it, some aren't, but it certainly can affect ketosis for some.

I'd say you've overdone it like. Take it easy for the rest of the day if you can :)

Bad times!!! I prefer the chocolate one with icey cold water....the vanilla is defo an aquired taste like! The soup....er...just no.

Me.... Well, I'm saying it's a protein shake....purely because I dislike nosey people and I work in a call centre....full of cocks. A few close colleagues are 'in on it'.....but that's as far as I go hehe.

Saw in a post a while back that some of you add cinnamon to the shakes...the same way as you would spice etc to the soups... Is this allowed???

Oddly enough mine are playing up loads today...day 3....hopefully it won't get worse.....!

I get that too! Maybe excitement at an epic weight loss on the horizon? :p

That's an amazing loss!! Don't forget to moisturise....we don't want stretch marks! :)

Is this REALLY how far some of you will go to put something warm in your belly???? Hahaha!

Day two over for me....how's your journey MissThomo?

Listerine was the one I was recommended initially like, but, as it's got alcohol in it dries the mouth out....leading to killer breath...defeats the point surely? hehe. You can get a 'zero' version of it now....

Less carbs in tablet form.

See...first time i did LT they said it was fine...only prob was that it triggered carb/food craving...but I was fine!

Tis my second day today.....black coffee....and the chemist only had choc shakes in!!! Hmmph! It's hard like, but totally worth it!

I find that a lot of people that you normally socialise with tend to be like that....it's pretty disheartening, for me anyway, how big a role food and alcohol play in day to day life :( The idea of being a fatty fat fat in the summer sitting in a beer garden with my skinny other half is...

Thanks for your replies people, think I'll just start my normal routine after the first week...just stick with the burlesque...not TOO draining hehe

Cheers hehe!

......it's not even tea time yet on my first day and I'm craving carbs bigtime! Not even bad stuff...but meat and veg!! What goes on!!

Dear Carb cravings, Kindly eff right off. That is all.....

That's what I'm thinking like....instead of sweating trying to cover up in frumpy clothes while everyone else is swanning round in skimpy stuff I can at least be comfortable!

I've decided to space mine out like that too...just have a pint of water when I get up to fill me up a little! When I get tempted I'm just gonna look down. The unsightly bulge is enough to make me put the pie down!

Lipotrim - Participating Pharmacies - Interactive Map Whack your postcode in there and it will tell you the closest place to buy... No need for GP to get involved unless you want them to :) You CAN exercise if you have the energy, usually after the first week, but it's different for each...

Might just be your body adjusting to carrying less baggage? :p My knee's were like that for a bit after exercise...when I was on low carb....probably be the same on Lipotrim like :) If it's really painful or worrying you then the I agree with Iamreadyforthis, check at your next weigh in or...

Hey... Day 1 in the Lipotrim house...hehe! So aye, starting TFR 100% today, but, I'm normally pretty active, ie couple of hours at gym 3/4 times a week, boxing, aerobics, spinning etc, will I have to chill out a bit for the first week or will I be ok to continue with my normal regime? I've...

Cheers pet, will do!

Hmmm. Frig it, I'll use my tablet splenda! Thanks for the replies people :)

Will all pharmacy's sell this? Can't find it online :(

That's what I was told a year or so when I first tried it...and it was fine...I was just confused this morning when I was told different :(

Hmmm, this has bigtime confused me. Just bought my first lot today to start tomorrow and I mentioned tablet sweeteners v granulated...the chemist lass said neither due to a new formula with the shakes? Any ideas??? :(

Has anyone got any thoughts on the Nekapa link on the eatwater website? Er......?? Odd!

Thanks for the replies :)

Tesco do their own veggie sausages too...lincolnshire style...lush!!

Hallo..... Am REALLY debating going back onto Lipotrim for a month....I've lost nothing at all for a very long time....only thing I can think of is sweeteners and dairy...and I CANNOT do low carb without them :( Gonna try lipotrim again and kick the cravings....anyone reckon it's a superbad...

Just read that article, thank you. I can honestly say I didn't experience any of the side effects...but...I don't take them regularly...and I would imagine it'd be different for each person. So aye, no dependence!

I've taken them a few times.....wouldn't say they're 100% amazing...however...I've not had the usual 'water bloat' that you get with a carby feast...... Whether it kicks an individual outta ketosis though...hmm....think that would depend on the person like. You can get them in Tesco....any...

Confused now, I thought the english labeling already had carbs deducted? :confused:

Or...you could take some Decarb with you? DEcarb natural carbohydrate blocker | Reduce calorie intake from carbs

Aye, gotta agree with Claire like, I started off initially on about 40 a day and I went into ketosis...this is before I found this forum and went down to about 25....it really does depend on your body...and possibly how much you have to lose?

BUT....then your breath mings in ketosis...so who want's a go? Haha!

I drink it...just count the carbs....

I find it hard to guzzle as much water as needed like...I tend to keep a 1.5/2 litre bottle on my desk at work to monitor it.....

Don't think it's advisable for the induction period like... How odd your post is, I was just looking for something on here regarding the carb count as one of my workmates is low carbing and made some s/f jelly with it last night....haha. Tis pretty low carb like, think the coconut cream is...

Low Carb Recipes, Gourmet Style - Thai Sweet and Sour Chile Dipping Sauce Try this?

Tesco's own make beef gravy granules aren't too bad, carb wise. Alternatively you could use meat stock with the xanthan, ie you can buy them stock pot things :)

Xanthan gum?

Aye, I've got the liquid splenda/sucralose, had to order from america (via ebay) like, but it's so much easier for cooking etc

HOW does that work??? *excited*

Aye, the length of time it takes to get INTO ketosis varies for everyone, sometimes it can take me a couple of days and sometimes it can take over a week! Unfortunately, it takes nowhere near as long to come OUT of it! Maybe the citric acid in your coke? I can never remember whether it's...

Certified Pure & Natural Stevia 500 Tablets, Dukan Diet, Atkins Diet | eBay Anyone tried these? I've heard that Stevia is normally quite bitter...maybe these'll be better as they're concentrated?

You'll be fine with it, careful though, soya milk can sometimes curdle in coffee for some reason!

You know when you say 'T'...is that tablespoon? May sound REALLY dumb....but I'm clueless :(

I just did that with some lavash bread, pepperoni and cheese....and the paste stuff....delish!

I've really missed tomato! Especially bolognaise type dishes.....so...score!

Thought that might get your attention haha! But seriously, found this while having a mooch in Tesco earlier: Ocado: Gia Tomato & Garlic Puree (Product Information) ( I know it's ocado but it's the only site with the info on that I could find quickly that anyone can view) 0.5 carbs per...

PS.... Gin and diet 7up is awesome!

Cheesy spinach omlette..... Exactly what it says it is hehe... But I gotta have tomato sauce on the side!

Low Carb Wine - CarbGenie Food Ideas OOH! Possibilities!

Depends on the carb count...check the tin/packet... I've found that the sliced stuff in a packet is lower than the tinned version :/

Aye... Buy the ready mix from LCM! Hehe! But seriously, 1 carb per muffin......and they're nommy!

Could they not get you a low sugar version? Ie, polyol city!?

I tend to par boil mine after soaking them in water with loads of salt and a little lemon squeezed into it. Takes the 'tart' out of it... Then fried......nom!!

Epic answer! After reading some dodgy stuff about diabetes links etc I was a bit dubious...but Ive started taking it anyway!

I got the 1000mg per capsule ones...it says to take between 1-3 per day....should I take the full 3? Just asking as your amount seems higher, I was just planning on taking the two a day...make them last longer!

Tesco's still have them on for 50p.....they have chicken and stuffing ones and sweet chilli chicken as well! Nom!!

It's all very confusing, cheers for that though, much appreciated :)

Hiya..Does anyone know how you work out the carbs in xanthan gum? I'd thought it was carb free....but then found this : Xanthan Gum Any ideas people? Do we take the fibre off the carbs or is it really that carby per 100g? :(

Score! Ooh, let me know if its any good.... :)

I prefer this one.... Nutrisport 90+ Protein Check out the nutritional info....apartame free...low carb etc....canny few flavours too..... Cheaper on ebay though!

Hiya! Aye, ebay/american jobbie.....seemed the cheapest option.... Fingers crossed they actually come eh? Hehe! Surprising amount of recipies on that linda's low carb site call for liquid splenda like :(

I normally get the flavoured thighs and drumsticks too....they're all rotisserie cooked with spice rubbed into the skin....so shouldn't have too many carbs, if any at all. :)

Found a few recipies that call for liquid splenda...but I could only find any online so have ordered some from ebay...apparently 1 drop equals 1 spoonful of splenda...and its NO CARB....woowoo! But.....can we buy it over here? Any ideas? Anyone used it before? Kye

Ah.....I was looking forward to trying stevia... What was wrong with it? Bitter? Herby? Just generally vile? haha!

Xanthan gum I think?

Yup yup yup.... Atkins and Lipotrim have been the only ones that have worked for me so far petal... Ketosis FTW!

I'm on sleep aids at the min too, not purely for my sleep but to manage a personality disorder together with daytime medication.....from what my doctor has said a majority of these medications report increased appetite/thirst....occasionally the two are mistaken...ie your body is crying out for...

I normally have the odd one here and there and I'm fine..... Careful though...not just of the polytrots....hehe Some people stall with those kinds of bars, ie polyols....but if you're fine with Atkins bars you might be ok? Thorntons diabetic is nice too....and I'm pretty sure that Hotel...

I normally mix some of the essences with a little cream cheese, whipped cream and splenda.....kinda like a no base cheesecake...lush!

Aye, one thing to watch with the garlic is whether its mayo or sauce.....the sauce will be packed with carbs :(

Hello there :) Um.....where's the fat???? He he...mayo...cheese...etc? Have you had a look at the 'stickies' at the top of the main page? Or the 'what are you eating today' one?

Cheers :)

Anyone know the craic with saag paneer? Ie is it carby as hell or 'legal'ish? Tried looking online for nutrition info and none of it tallies up like, every site has different amounts...I know every place will be different ....but there's gotta be a general 'yeah its ok' or a 'whoah AVOID' to...

I would kill for some ice cold Stella cider right now.....

I fry mine in garlic butter...add a bit of cayenne pepper..some paprika.....few spring onions and some prawns.... NOM!

Cheese dips....they sound rank anyway!

I normally cut up some cubes of cheese but I'm sure they would be lush dipped in cream cheese too...mmmm....maybe with chives too..... Nom nom!

OK... Dumbass moment coming right up.... Any carbs in this? :/

Love them...with cheese ;)

Aye, they're pretty high like :( I miss them :(

I normally have that total, not the low fat one, the 10% one. Its about 3.5/6 carbs per 100ml.....500ml tub....stir in a spoon or two of splenda...I think it tastes like the yoghurt out of muller fruit corners! Lidl do a lower carb one, 1000ml tubs too, can't for the life of me remember what...

I am....but hopefully not for much longer haha

I lovelovelove Josephs low carb/sugar free cookies.... You can get them on LCM or Avidlite.....choco peanut butter FTW! I quite often go for the cheese cake option like, I just mix together double cream, full fat cream cheese, little bit vanilla essence and some splenda....delish! Oh, and...

....double cream has less carbs though :)

Make sure its garlic mayo and not sauce though..... World of difference in carbs!

The KTC one is refined..... Basically the flavour/scent is non existent......the unrefined is so much nicer...I've tried both....same in texture for me though. The one I get is Coconoil, smells sooo nice and tastes lovely....I use it everywhere though....as a bath oil, hair and skin...

Ugh...its not up north! Started off lovely....now its grey and miserable...just to match my insides I think!

Nah.....apparently you have to have at least a little rhythm and I'm flat outta that haha Do you walk to work? If so...maybe invest in some ankle weights etc? Extra weight carried burns extra calories.....

I still feel a little worse for wear..I'm exactly the same today...came on on my 5th day of induction hehe. Plenty of water for me today!

Lamb tits kebabs...yes? Is that not normally what they are? Haha......can you imagine! Seemed less appetising saying they were the dogs bollocks..... :/

Made this last night.....but added extra pepper and garlic powder....lush! Actually looks like breaded chicken when its made....nom!

Had them the other night, the tikka ones are 0.4 but the korma ones are 'slightly' higher...maybe 0.5 or something hehe! Still, pretty awesome like, the meat is lovely, no chewy bits and very tender. Tesco have loads of BBQ stuff on offer too, the packs of chicken and prawn ones are...

Think most of the carbs in the burgers are in the sauce/onions/processed cheese etc...can always be wiped off! Every time I go there I have 3 double cheeseburgers hehe

What delightful colleagues you have! I hope you retaliated with at LEAST a couple of 'Yo Momma' jokes mind??? Hehe

I get like that occasionally, try snacking on crunchy things, like pork scratchings? A little is better than nothing at all....

The carb free Colac ketchup is lovely!

Gotta agree with Neen like, I'm the same. 1 day turns into to which turns into 3.....then you develop a taste for 'crap' again... There's so many options now for 'treats' which are low carb....might not agree with you 100% in the botty department but worth a try....better than a multipack...

LCM hadn't bothered to pass on the delivery details to them...ie to leave with a neighbour as they had been doing for months previously....shame because there are things on LCM that aren't available on Avidlite...such as low carb ice cream mixes etc... But never again will I use them he he

Sounds vile.... Purely because I've never had butternut squash before! What's it like?

A lovely pork marinade is olive oil....chock full of chopped chili's and fresh garlic...left overnight...then griddled.... Nomtastic.

No idea! Worth a try I spose!

Loved them at first....then all I could taste was coconutty celery.... Vile. Maybe I cut them too thick? Deep fried and smothered in garlic mayo...were nommy....might have to try them again now I've forgotten the taste haha!

Tatey peeler?

Think I'm gonna try the cheesy lolly pop version....ie same way of cooking, just stick a cocktail stick in before it crisps.... Anyone tried making the celeriac crisps?

I much prefer Avidlite like! Delivery seems to be faster and cost less....had a major problem with LCM and delivery once, had to walk miles to the nearest depot as their courier was physically incapable of knocking on a door and opted instead to take a picture of the property on his mobile...

I saw the carb blockers on LCM a while back and posted something similar to this thread.....one of the replies made me think.... Where will the excess carbs go? If its ANYTHING like Xenical you'll be in turbo-dump city pet. Bad times!

This one is supposed to be very good : 100% Pure Edible Parachute Coconut Oil 500 ml | eBay UK This is the one I have been using (refined, no smell): PURE COCONUT OIL CONDITIONER KTC BRAND NEW 500ml | eBay UK I always go to ebay first and foremost....they sell pretty much everything on...

I use it as a general moisturiser now....great at hydrating....even on your face! No clogged pores...sweet!!!

I use a little bit of worcester sometimes in meatballs..... I'm sat here now with my head wrapped in a plastic bag and a towel...covered in coconut oil....haha....same one I use for cooking too....its good stuff...the 'refined' has no smell or taste FYI. The 'virgin' is very sweet and...

Jesus...how thick did you have them like? Haha! I was thinking about getting mine done....but I dye mine red to match my hair...might look a bit odd! Ever thought of the eyeliner tatts too?

Afternoon fellow stinkers ;) FYI, the 'new' Mitchum, solid rub on bar...unscented.....seems ideal...super strength....48hr as normal jobbie... Doesn't work. At all. Unless, of course, my cat mistook my armpit for her toilet when I was asleep. But I highly doubt that!!! Avoid!

When you turn sideways and disappear ;)

Woofy bird.....try mitchum.....its the only thing that works for me at the minute! I've found sanex shower gel to be quite good as well!

I had the same problem....went to Holland & Barrett and bought a bottle of potassium pills....1 pill a day....sorted.....well....not 100% perfect but I work out a lot so I get calf cramps loads hehe You should definitely try it though, worked for a lot of people :) Kye

Seconded gina.... They have the shorts type and the knickers type....both come up to your bra strap!

Hiya......strangers! How is everyone? Hardly been on here! I have a question... Protein shakes....I know a fair few of us take them....but I'm thinking of trying one I used to take when I boxed regularly...but I'm a tad unsure whether it would knock me out of ketosis :( Could some kind...

Ruth, I often have days like that, thirsty as hell etc.....sometimes feels like you've got a layer of 'ming' on your tongue/roof of your mouth? I find a really strong mouthwash used before and after brushing REALLY helps....but the mouth/breath sprays make it worse! Cream makes my mouth...

Aye, Josephs.....the pitta's have been out of stock for an age! Be getting them next time though!

Just ordered from Avidlite website instead of LCM....got sick of waiting for them! Anyone tried the Lavash Bread?

I'm tempted like....I just begrudge paying delivery twice!

Aye, I've requested the email like Cinta.....its just never come hehe! Been about 4 days now!

Has anyone tried ordering from there lately? So much stuff is out of stock....has been for ages....does anyone know if their having problems or how long they normally take to re-stock? I want my pitta's!

I've been using Ricola menthol sugar drops, 97g of carbs....but 97g of polyols too.... RICOLA Sugar Free Swiss Herb Drops - Menthol 45g | Healthstore

It might well be.....carb withdrawal! I get the same about 4 days into induction like!

I find that if I drink a lot in between testing that it shows up lighter....ie, if I test at 7pm, have a couple of pints of water and then retest at say 10pm that it will be a lighter colour.....maybe its just diluting the ketones? Also, if I'm dehydrated, it looks as if I'm in ketosis on the...

Thats a damn tasty sounding idea!!! I may copy.....

I'd wondered about the rolls like! Nice one!

Bad times! I was gonna put an order in on Saturday but I wanted soy nuts...out of stock :(

Loads of people get them Diddums...am possibly gonna try them myself... Also...Mama Lupes (sp) wraps....lower carb.....defo wanna try them!

Seriously??? From LCM? Which brand are they? *excited*

Damn you...I wanted to say that!!! *shakes fist* :p Hiya.......fresh meat...:D

Ah sorry, I get Tesco's own brand, really cheap and loads of flavours :D

Oooh...I'll be checkin THAT out!

I get that too...its on offer at the min!

I have more than that sometimes....pretty much cook EVERYTHING in butter!

I was trawling Tesco for lamb mince earlier because of this! Didn't bloody find any though.....sold out! Next time *shakes fist hungrily*

.....I still use normal milk...just factor the carbs into my daily allowance :)

Hey Lady....welcome :) Gotta ask, which brand of flax are you using??

Well done :)

I think I'm gonna try the Avidlite website from now on....sells the same stuff (including a no carb ketchup Avidlite sugar free savoury sauces Colac, very bottom of the page) and doesn't bott the life out of you in delivery charges....

.....Yeah. That didn't happen. Had a minor drink related 'incident' this weekend...... Back on the wagon yesterday though!

Bio oil is pretty awesome stuff like.....I've used it on both stretch marks and scars....bit pricey though! I find Palmers Coco butter is REALLY good for stretchmarks and skin blemishes....and its cheaper!

I've removed the cause. Chocolates....box put on the back of a colleagues computer.... Meltage!!!

Oooh....Monday. Think I may skip and just 'measure' instead!

Kinda OWL aye....eeh I hope so. I'm going to hook up a garden hose to my mouth!

Someone opened chocolates next to me and I had 3. Or maybe 4. Yeah, I think it was 4. :( Only about 16 carbs....not the end of the world I know...but still......OH NO! Lots of water?? This is gonna kick me outta ketosis isn't it?

Pretty sure boots have an offer on like?

Always gives me away ;) hehe. Have a look on the low carb megastore site and the avidlite ones...much cheaper on the avidlite....you can get all types of nommy choc....eaten in moderation of course ;)

The daybreak bars (cereal type ones) aren't particularly filling...but the cappucino nut ones are delish! The advantage ones are pretty filling like.....not a fan of the hazelnut one myself like, I was clearly wanting it to taste like nutella and it didn't :( haha

Polytrots! HAHA!

I'm so totally making this soup!! Thank you! :)

Haha! Happy Hallmark day!
