    Hi all, I'm back after stopping CD last October. Have put a stone back on :( lapsed with gym etc and was lazy. Silly silly me. Been reading through my old posts on here and I was clearly in a different place then - the place I need to get back to!! Considering either the New You Plan or exante...

    advice please

    Nausea may be the packs, due to the concentration of minerals and vitamins, add extra water if you need to, or drink water with them - slowly. Tiredness, headaches, shivers is ur body slipping into ketosis.... As for skipping packs. Absolutely not. These are essential to ur health, and the plan...

    She doesn't seem particularly forthcoming...

    At the risk of sounding unsupportive... If it freaks you out so much you need to stop weighing yourself.

    silly sara (allowable food mentioned)

    When you work the maths out, the difference between ss/+ is only actually around 1-2lbs p/month on average... Based on this I'd say that if there are times that you feel you need to + off the allowable list, then don't beat urself up about it as in the great scheme of things it's a tiddler.... x

    Thank you all for your replies, I am going to see if the next few days makes any difference, its just so bloomin hard!! I'm pretty much ss/ss+ on other days. Am watching what I'm having but if I'm honest have never been religious bout weighing food etc - maybe an idea to start doing so...

    valid question??

    Hopefully this isn't a silly question...! How do u know how 'well' u go into ketosis? Unless u were to have to many carbs which would knock u out of it and leave u hungry, right? I find sometimes I am hungry whilst in ketosis so how would I know? Does that make sense? And why would u 'push it'...

    Back again for more!!!!

    Haha well what can u say to my Q...:Na_Na_Na_Na: U will get there chicks, honest. Well the feeling of missing it doesn't really go anywhere, it just eases - as does hunger. What a lot of people take for granted is that Ketosis is no hunger etc but it really just takes the edge off (well for me...

When I asked 'them' what they'd gain by me eating, they were stumped :D Just believe in urself, don't give urself the option of doubting urself and u will do it!! This is my 2nd...
