    What is the difference between the white and silver chilli packs?

    Yup, just checked and the silver is the tomato chilli. Only had the silver one so far so can't comment on the tomato one! Lol... But the silver one is pretty 'meaty' and has kidney beans in. :) Xx

    Day off with alcohol

    This might be worth a read regarding alcohol whilst in ketosis. http://www.minimins.com/exante/191898-danger-alcohol-when-ketosis.html It varies from person to person, of course... but some people getting very sick from just one drink if in ketosis. I'd say drinking with caution, as it could...

    Does anyone just so S&S

    Also, another reason why it could cause problems is when you go into ketosis, depleting your glycogen stores, that can be a 5lb loss or so. Hense why people usually have such a great loss the first week, as its their glycogen stores becoming empty. If you were to eat any carbs at the weekend...

    Seeking fellow scale addicts - is there a cure?

    There is no point weighing yourself any time other than first thing in morning, empty bladder, as already said. Especially on a plan like this where we are filling up on water in shakes, soups, and the litres of plain water required on a VLCD... After all, a litre of water weighs 2lb! So you...

    October Challenge Anybody?

    I think the reason it's important to be in ketosis when on so few daily calories, is so your body burns fat for energy instead of muscle. Muscle mass is what regulates our metabolism as you know, so the larger our muscle mass, the faster our metabolism. Mine is so slow personally, that I...

    TBSx LL Journey...

    Hey hunny! Aww, RTM is going well thanks babes! STS so far, weight wise, so guess I'm getting the balance about right. Fruit was introduced this week, and I'm finding it a bit of a trigger but guess if I'm gonna eat too much of something, it could be worse than it being fruit huh? ;) Hehe...
  105. Pinkie :)

    Gah! Crisis.. Sugar free squash?

    Aww hunny... I know, it's a total minefield and if you've got a counsellor who seems to know less than you do... well, no wonder you're getting anxious! I am finding the idea that I am no longer trying to lose weight, one of the hardest things to get my head around! For half my life I've been...
  106. Pinkie :)

    Gah! Crisis.. Sugar free squash?

    Babes... relax!! :) We are now re-introducing food, so even if it's not 'allowed' officially... if it's not done you any harm having the glass full a day, then it's fine... In a few months we will have reintroduced everything back in anyway, so please don't stress, you're gonna go crazy! I was...

    Hunnnny!!! xxxxx Seems I got here after all the great advice was given, so can't really add much other than agree with the girlies... xx You are still losing, it's only been a couple of weeks, so recent losses, if low, do not dictate future losses whilst on Lite... hey, don't forget that even...
  147. Pinkie :)

    LL how much does it cost

    Yup... :) Which, when you add it up, is probably a lot less than we'd normally spend on food a week... once you factor in additional money spent on meals out, fast food on the run, lunches from the sandwich shop, alcoholic drinks down the pub, garage snacks purchased when fuelling the car...

  150. Pinkie :)

    Has anybody started on LLT and then finished off successfully on another diet?

    The way I understand it... Minerva did LLT followed immediately by 12 weeks of RTM... then had a month off, followed by LLL until she reached target... :) I could be wrong though, so happy to be corrected... ;) xx

    LLL or RTM: Whats your plan?

    Yup... agree with Sexychick completely...

Add this, along...

    Ideal 'goal' weight

    Twinny... the BMI range is an odd one as doesn't take all sorts of stuff in consideration, like what sex you are, type of build, age etc... So, just go for where you think you look the best... I'm now at the point in my weight loss where if I tell people I want to lose another 7lbs at least...

    Claire's Diary... Wish me Luck!

    Good luck hunny... :) You might get used to it in tea too, so worth trying it again... Also, I don't think it matters if you don't have the whole quota of milk to be honest... as far as I know, milk week is recommended by N.I.C.E. (and merely a suggestion by LL, not compulsory)... it's just to...

    Can you not use it in your shakes Claire? It can make them quite thick, but some people like that... xx

    Having a battle !

    Aww Mandie... you poor thing... :( It sounds to me like maybe you would benefit from being on Lite rather than Total? It'd mean you could do exactly as you said, packs during the day and then the balanced meal at night... It is definitely worth talking to your LLC about this, as your losses...
  194. Pinkie :)

    LAPSED....

    As others have said, try not to stress... what's done is done now, and you have been great, trying to make up for it... Also, a loss or a gain this week, either way, is such a small part in the grand scheme of things here... it doesn't matter... honesty... you're on your way to becoming a...

    This is me...my incredible journey

    Yup... as LadyT says, hair loss is a side effect of fast weight loss for some people, but it's nothing to stress about... :) Mine is thinning too, but new hair is coming in and as you said Weebs, it's a small price to pay for being slim... and it's not permanent, so glad you're still smiling...

    Woohoo!! Almost there hunny! 2.5 huh?! Well done, seriously!! :D Xx
  205. Pinkie :)

    Do you sometimes not want all 4 packs?

    Yup... Mags is spot on... Also, as well as the daily required nutrients, having the 4 packs stops your body going into starvation mode... And this is really important to avoid as it could inhibit your losses by your body panicking and subsequently hanging onto what it does get... Oh, and in...

    LOL!! Course, you're totally right... which is why I've not lapsed once in 161 days... ;) However, the thought of chocolate does make me think "nom nom nom"... hehe... but nope, the idea of being knocked out of ketosis makes me not even slightly tempted to eat any, so it's all good... :D xx

    Cass's Diary

    Totally agree! The scales are just a snapshot at a random time with little relevance to the weight you might have been a day ago, even an hour ago... Remember water weighs a lot too, so if you've drunk a lot or are retaining water a little today then that could easily show as a gain, when it's...

    Woop! If you were 100% today!!

    It's no big deal to have 2 bars and 2 packs on the occasional day, so you both definitely still count as 100%! :D You've not had anything by your LL 'food', so that's what counts! :) Twinny, that's what I do too... if for some reason 2 bars were just way more convenient and so had no choice, I...

    Nah, agree with LadyT completely! If you are sticking to the plan, you will be in ketosis hunny... It's impossibly not to be! :) All the stix show is the surpluss ketones which are flushed out in our wee, so if your body is particularly efficient at using them, you may not have any excess! So...
