    Going abroad............... Honeymoon, anyone been away whilst on plan ?

    I oboé what you mean, I was in Lisbon 2 weeks ago and managed to keep on track and on the last day had a cake as a treat. Came back and went straight back on the diet and still lost 5 pounds so it is possible. Vegas will have loads of temptations but sure there will be salads I guess. Have a...

    SS & SS plus

    Hi everyone! I do SS and when I am really desperate I do SS+ for one day, all it is is an extra 200 calories of protein. It works for me and I have yet to be explained by my CD lady why it isn't allowed! I guess it is better than give up and stuff myself so I think in a way I do all to keep me...

    Cambridge bars?

    Hi everyone!! I am sure I was told that the tetra shakes have more carbs then the bars. I have always had bars from day one and without fail I am in ketosis on day 3.

    Going abroad............... Honeymoon, anyone been away whilst on plan ?

    Hi!! I have been a few times to Portugal and Cyprus and have always taken the shakes in my big bag and on the hand luggage I took bars and was never stopped. I am not sure about the US but would imagine as long as you don't take liquids on the plain in your hand luggage it should be ok. Xx
