    exercise

    If you're in your first few weeks then you're not supposed to exercise. I doubt very much you would be able to run, and burn 700 calories ( more than your daily intake on a diet like this) and not eat any extra. The best thing to do would be to email s&s and ask. I'm not sure what the actual...

    exercise

    Because of the exercise she is doing, rob would probably have recommended 5 packs. I know he has before. I have extra protein instead of a 5th pack on days I am at the gym, only because it's cheaper for me doing it that way.

    Yes and I've lost practically 4 stone since January eating all this lovely stuff! I'd really recommend converting :-)

    Hmmm does this sound familiar

    Why don't they come over to S&S? Perhaps they've never heard of this diet. They sure don't know what they're missing. Nearly 4 stone gone on this diet only lasted a week on Exante lol x

    Mushroom pasta

    I quite liked it actually. Put 100ml of water as I like it quite thick. It's little bits of pasta (like the new spag bol) I had it with some brocolli. I'm not sure I'd order a lot of them. Chili (old), macaroni and cottage pie are still my favourites. Couldn't really see many mushrooms but...

    Thats a brilliant idea to order one of everything as a sample. I love slim and save. I did Exante before but there just wasn't enough choice for my liking. There's something for everyone on this diet. My favourite shake is the crispy ones, either cottage pie of macoroni cheese. Can't choose...

  170. Laurie

    I tried the new chili today and I can't make my mind up about it. It was ok, but a bit too tomatoey for me. It's left a bit of an after taste in my mouth, It actually reminds me of an Exante tomato soup taste. Actually I really don't like it, I much prefer the original white packet one. I...
  177. Laurie

    Protein Options

    Just to clarify re eggs. I was talking to Rob and he said just make sure if you are having eggs to have a multi vitamin and mineral cos eggs only contain protein no other nutrients
  178. Laurie

    Laura-bellas weigh in week 12 3 and a half stone GONE

    Yes the longest is 3 weeks with CD! I've more than doubled that now! It's so much easier on S&S! Still got another stone to go until I match my CD lowest weight. Won't take long though!

    Are you having a mixture a day, I might start having 4 thinking 2 meals would be great.

  204. Laurie

    no more......

    Maybe someone else can answer you on this one? I've only heard of tesco, or BL bars allowed as substitutes. There is a thread I've commented on where some people are having Atkins bars. I'm still not sure these are ok though.
  205. Laurie

    Which Tesco bars are allowed?

    And £20.59 for a box of 15! Lot's of choices, but I'm still not sure I've heard a lot of people saying no to Atkins Bars
  206. Laurie

    Which Tesco bars are allowed?

    Atkins have 25% off online bars are £1.57 each
  207. Laurie

    no more......

    I love all bars but I'm on a really tight budget so I'm ordering all meals and shakes and buying my own bars from tesco or approved foods . So now the 140 items will last 70 days but I gotta buy my own bars.

    Boiled eggs

    I have just been told 2 eggs are fine as long as they are not the largest eggs. Small - medium if having two as they can bung you up !
  218. Laurie

    Boiled eggs

    I think I said can I have egg(s) , I've been having 2 and still lost 3.5 this week on my 7th week they're not doing me any harm. So I guess as long as its not I'm ok to do so?
  219. Laurie

    Boiled eggs

    Hi all for the past week I've been having 2 boiled eggs a day, instead of fish/chicken. Just wondered if anyone has eggs daily? I emailed s&s and they advised eggs, tuna or salmon as an alternative to chicken/ fish. I'm actually getting to the stage where I'm getting addicted to my eggs lol.

    Struggling

    I sampled one of everything before I took the plunge and ordered a months worth. Samples are fantastic, really recommend everyone tries before they buy
  225. Laurie

    Macaroni Cheese???

    Yum I'm thinking it would be a lovely sauce poured over my boring white fish! Maybe a bit like the fish in sauces you can buy. Spoke to s&s and they said hopefully will be available the middle of next week. Will be ordering samples first to see what I think of them.
  226. Laurie

    Spag bog? Spicy?

    I always wondered why it even says spicy on the packet. In my opinion there's nothing at all spicy about the spag bol!

    good luck for day 2, hun. I'm on week 7 and still haven't tried a soup. CD and Exante have totally put me off of them.

  236. Laurie

    S&S or other type of shakes?

    The samples are fantastic. Don't pay out for a full supply in case you don't like them. Order one of everything you think you'll fancy and go from there. I really can't wait for the 'new arrivals' will definitely be buying the samples of them.

    Don't feel bad, you will do it when you are 100% focused and in the zone. I had planned to do a VLCD since way before Christmas and it wasn't until the middle of January that I was ready and focused. I had a couple of false starts in December I'd go 1 day nearly 100% and when the evening...
