    Newbie question!

    Hi Catherine Another veggie-cool!:) at first I really wasn't keen on the soups or shakes- they tasted salty I thought-and artificial. I quite enjoy them 3 weeks on now. I add a sweetner to the shakes and crushed ice, and its yummy! Give it a little longer and experiment with different amounts...

    Orange Water Flavouring

    Personally I wouldn't, as its pretty much just sweetners, and I don't mind having it myself, but I dont like giving it to my children if at all possible, it makes kids really hyper. I'm sure one time will be fine though. Its only as bad as giving children diet coke etc. Hope she doesn't...

    Help please with ketostix

    You'll find your bladder does get trained quite quickly to hold fluid for longer and without the discomfort. I test first thing in the morning-otherwise it's diluted with all the water we're glugging and might not show. I did do them daily at first, but now test twice a week. Yes if you...

    Help please with ketostix

    Forgot to say There should be a colour chart on the pack they come in. A flesh tone means no ketones, but a rose pink and stronger shows ketosis.

    Am I missing out

    I'm in agreement with Debbie- They really are nice, the cranberry crunch is my favourite. It feels like a real treat, and that is my reward at the end of the day. It hasn't made me want to raid the fridge once!! And its just so nice to chew on something and devour every bite :)

    Hot water for shakes..

    My CDC said its fine to microwave, but not for longer than a minute as it might boil. Hope you enjoy it!! Mint choc is yummy hot
  59. W

    Hot water for shakes..

    I make it up cold and microwave for 1 minute. Boiling water will destroy the nutrients, but if you let it cool right down it will probably be ok. Hope you like it !!

    What to drink

    Also to bear in mind, when you have a larger body mass, you can hold more alcohol. So you'll probably be a lightweight now :) Have Fun !!

    Hi Pickle, well done for getting through your first day. I went into ketosis on day 2, and only knew by doing a ketosix (from the chemists).I felt quite rough and headachy for the first 4 days, but this is your body detoxing. Hope you perk up soon ! :)
  82. W

    Newbie saying hi!!

    Hi ! You should find that cutting down on sugars and carbs before hand will really help you in the first few days. I wish I'd done what you are doing ! I felt awful for two days while detoxing all the rubbish food from my system!!:) All The very best! :)
