    Patient Interface

    It's totally rubbish! Don't bother! Lol! When u log in u get a graph and numbers.... That's it! Pmsl.. its not even clear! It doesn't show your goal even! It's not even colour coded in overweight/obese etc! Useless! My chemist didn't even know about it... They asked and were equally let down! ;)...

    Well done on the maintaining! That's half the battle won when u can do that! Your enthusiasm is fab :) I ended the day 'ok'. Had a shake, a bar ... And a pack of quavers .... Eek! Also had 2 gingernuts before bed with some headache tablets as felt sick. Not ideal but certainly not bad. Got a...

    Hair loss?

    Me too! I have thyroid problem so have thin hair, hence why doc told me all about the above in great detail with the science bits! The hairloss is main reason I chose to top up with food.. don't wanna lose hair as I doubt mine will all come back. Would rather slower losses and still look ok...

    Hair loss?

    most of you wont even know you have the hairloss problem until you START EATING again. the hair growing process is halted due to low calories (the body cant continue all of its functions on such low amoutn so new hair growth is shelved)... therefore the hair stays dormant and wont grow... which...

    Help me understand calories and metabolism....

    This is EXACTLY what started to happen to me - in fact 4 'ok sort of days' where I was not angel like would be enough to see an instant gain on the scales. It certainly played havoc with my metabolism. I used to eat like a pig for want of better expression after I lost a huge chunk of my weight...

    milk???

    Agree with everyone above - I think white tea n coffee makes it so much easier and why make it harder on yourself? This can be tough enough without adding to it!! Milk wont push you over unless you like a milky-coffee... for the few calories that it adds wont make a massive difference but I bet...

    Few Qs for reassurance please :)

    Thanks all :) I am much more reassured now I think - the pee IS settling.. I dont think its blood as such, its just very strong, hence why I thought may be part of the detox??

    Eating when on Total Solution

    Agree with all of the above - a little chicken salad wont spoil things in the slightest - if anything the only thing that would spoil it for me would be the SALAD!!!

    Ketosis

    You dont need to worry about not being there - just the diet alone will havr the weight cling off - Ketosis just makes some of the hunger etc easier for some people. Quite a high percentage of people do not benefit from ketosis symptoms (me being one of them!) but do have the nasty breath...

    Is there anything i can eat whilst on lipotrim, that wont knock me out of ketosis?

    Agree with the above a nice steak is a great choice as rather filling and nice tasting! Avoid all sauces, creams, chips, rices, bread, fizzy etc!! Dont even touch salad if you can help it! Eat your steak and push the rest roundya plate and you will be absolutely fine. I do this regularly as I...

    Hiya personally i think its how us fatties are programmed, hence why we are here. I dont think slim people have the same issues, or if some do then they are strong enuf to fight the urge but the urge isnt as strong iyswim... if everyone were like it then we would all be on this board and not on...

    hiya 2 schools of thought generally. the LT school say not worth excercising - save your energy and allow the diet to do its thing unless you are already a regular at it... NO excercise for at least the first 2 weeks tho to alow your body to adjust - otherwise u will feel dizzy/tired or ill...

    3 mousses a day?

    Yup, it makes no difference how you make them up but apparently having them as a mousse can make you feel hungrier in the beginning.. you would have to drink quite a bit more water doing it that way. Have a big glass straight after having it as that way its all in your belly together as it goes...

    Help!

    In a nutshell - what Cate said. The Asda/Tesco type own bars are similar and much less sugar than SF stuff... but if you cant go out then stick to protein bits as its only an extra day.... maybe have 2 shakes Thurs and proten and then you will have some of your original plan on the Friday too... xxx
