    Hi there I'm another restarter its been a while... I used to be a w8 consultant after getting down to goal in 2007. But as all you fellow foodies will understand its was lot easier to re-gain 3 stone than it was to lose it! And so here i am back to square one. Last year I went to Florida with...

    water

    Hi the headaches are caused by carb withdrawal and should fade away once you are in ketosis on day 4 (ish) keep drinking the water and take paracetamol if you need to it will pass!! if you don't like water try and add one of the flavourings. I'm doing w8 and couldn't cope without the lemon and...

    What foods keep you in ketosis

    hi i am a w8 consultant (www.allaboutw8.co.uk/coventry) our VLCD plan allows you to incorporate one meal a day if you choose. If you have a meal from the list below you will still lose weight and stay in Ketosis xx Enjoy your day!! You can have 3oz of one of the following Chicken breast (no...

    Week 6 and its still going!!!

    know what u mean about the birthday thing mines on the 21st April. I would like to go out and just be carb free which would keep me in ketosis but once in frankie n benny's I know the salad will not be an option!
  132. C

    A very important question.

    shazzy if you have no luck with the doc why not try w8 www.allaboutw8.co.uk because you dont do 100 days abstinence you dont need a doctors letter. Also theres no 'tie ins' just try it for a week or two and see how you go. You could even start while you are waiting to get into LL if thats still...

Doesnt affect weight...
  134. C

    how much does it actually cost!

    me too!! Ido allaboutw8 and thats £49 for 4 packs a day but I normally spend £30 on a sat night out drinking alone let alone the takeaways and the normal weekly shop!!!
  135. C

    had a major shock last night...

    KIMMIE YOU COULD TRY ALLABOUTW8 its a vlcd/lcd with several plans if you did regular which incorporates one carb free meal a day = packs you could start after 6 wks of having a baby. have a look at Consultancy Information for this Area

    How long after having a baby?

    its weird isnt it? i have read before when people have lost a lot of weight it takes a while for their 'self perception' to catch up so you still think you are fat when u are not. my weight definately affects my personality, I got into a 12/14 wedding dress last summer and felt fantastic. i was...
  139. C

    Quickie re water

    just on th subject of price i answered your previous vlcd thread an told you abouy allaboutw8. This is £49 per week (four meal packs a day) (add postage of around a fiver if doing it online)price goes down the less packs you need. and you only need to have a bmi of 25 or over to start
  140. C

    Well, its all down from here!

    Hi Tatty all about w8 (previosly weight-matters) is a vlcd which allows you to incorporate food if you wish. the principles are the same as cambrdge and LL but there is a lot of flexibility in the programmes. The key differences are that you dont need to be 3 stone over weight to start just have...

    Carbs and Alcohol

    No offence meant i was merely pointing out that a CDC would have to tell you what could be the consequences of drinking while on a VLCD/in ketosis it would be unproffessional not to. However that from experience (only last saturday) I can vouch that IT CAN AND DOES MAKE YOU ILL and is not a very...
  165. C

    Carbs and Alcohol

    obviously any CDC has got to quote the 'gospel' as it would be unproffessional not to, i drank vodka and coke zero while on ss last weekend. I only had a couple got drunk very very quick and was sick after (and i am a hardened vodka drinker!!) so i can vouch that its not a good idea. it was...
