The reason i put on weight was very simple , not eating junk food but portions that were way too big and an overload of carbs (bread, bread and more bread) which with pcos was one of the worst food groups for me to be greedy on. Julesrush

Set yourself a goal for the next month, get a fat pic out of yourself and say to yourself when where you happier then or now. Before you decide to cheat say to yourself which do you prefer a biscuit or a size x. Think of this experience as a short time for a long term goal. good luck and...

Personally from my point of view being a cdc i wouldnt have said your weight loss is slow, infact 21lbs over 4 weeks is nothing short of fantastic. Some weeks you will find that your body does lose slightly less but over the month an average of a stone is a goal i like to set my clients who are...

My suggestion would be first to stop sleeping in his room or taking him into your bedroom, a child quickly learns exactly what buttons to press and in the short term it can seem like a solution but long term it can be a nightmare to break. When he gets up take him back to his bed, explain its...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if you are supplementing the diet with a few hundred calories of food then you are not sticking to the plan. Cheese is full of fat and those few hundred calories (you dont say how much) could be the reason why you are not in ketosis yet. If you want to add...

Most people i know if they are going to give up will do so on day 3-4 before being in ketosis because of how they feel, if someone gets to end of week and weigh in they are more likely to stay on diet, the same goes if they are on 100% diet they are less likely to stop at end of week than...

The 4 pints is the minimum amount of water you should be having so your cdc is correct, you can always try increasing this to see if it helps, if you find yourself picking constantly it might be worth having a chat with your cdc about possibly moving upto the 790 plan so that you can eat each...

keep focused and dont eat, if you do it will not only make you feel bad for cheating but also will stop you going into ketosis. The first week in my view is the worst, stick to diet 100% and get to the end of the week . Some people lose weight each day and others will go several and then 3lbs...
