    You could get some grilled chicken with a side salad or grilled fish - just avoid the standard chips/rice/jacket potato side! Oh and asked for dressing on the side if you get a salad! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

    Does anyone just do 3 packets a day?

    Just to add on ss+ the amount of packets are the same regardless of height. Only on ss the amount you have varies due to your height according to their book

    Does anyone just do 3 packets a day?

    Hi Rachy, There are two options: SS+ : you do three packets and 200kcal meal from their list or 4 packs and 200ml skimmed milk. SS: you have either 3 packets a day (like LL) or 4 packets depending on your height I do 3 packets a day as I am 5ft 5 but may move to SS+ soon with meal option

    I would agree - I use to say to my finance how come he was so thin and I was not! when in my view we ate the same meals. in fact it wasn't the case! In reality it is the little additions and add ons that can go unnoticed and forgotten - the little snack here and there which do add up. I think a...

    Hi Emma, I was just having the same debate but for my fiancee's mothers birthday in two weeks. We all normally do a family meal out for it and so i was thinking of coming off for that meal.

    Ketosis stick

    That's v interesting lily, never thought of it like that as LL was my first VLCD I just thought it was normal. Guess if you are on it 100% there is no need to do it!
  163. B

    Ketosis stick

    I brought these a while ago so had some left over. Probably won't buy them again. I just like the reassurance that I know for sure I'm in ketosis as don't think CDC test you whereas on LL they use to weekly. I'm just a worry wart really lol.

    Hi Pink - this Is the thread i found re Sainsburys water http://www.minimins.com/cambridge-diet-forum/204009-tesco-apple-strawberry-water.html Flavours are the peach, raspberry and cranberry, apple and blackcurrent and a fuzzy strawberry and kiwi I started drinking some yesterday and checked...

    Ketosis stick

    Thanks Sasha! That is good news then lol thanks for your reply :-)

    Ketosis stick

    Hi all, I brought some ketosticks to check I'm in ketosis - I have done a test and according to the colour chart it's fallible for ketones? (it's a pale pink colour) I can't remember exactly so just wanted to confirm it means I'm just in ketosis - should be a bit darker pink to b fully in ketosis?

    This time I mean it!

    SS or SS+

    Feeling let down and peed off!!

    I would agree that you should consider distancing yourself from her. She Does not sound like a good person especially considering she would lie about your 3yr old! I think you would b much happier without her in your life. Don't let someone like that upset you, she is not worth it!
