    Wedding

    From a ketosis point of view carrots & any root veggies will take you out of ketosis, stay away from bread, potatoes, the soup & gravy these will have some sort of filler like flour added to bulk them up. Obviously stay away from the dessert aswell. Stick to sparkling water if possible, without...

    atkins??

    Figure of speech re biscuit tin/bread bin. Dukan is a very badly modified version of Atkins. Atkins allows you to have protein and complex carbs (vegetables) and the key is taking in fat everyday i.e butters, oils, mayo. This buffers your liver into burning more fat kind of like when you add...

    What is so good about water ??

    Water is extremely important 1: Our muscles are made up of 75% water & so require water to help them to stretch properly & prevent injury. 2: Glycogen is what provides your body with energy. Food is converted into glycogen & stored as adipose tissue when it is not used for energy. Glycogen is...

    *Periods*

    That's fanastic. Periods can relate back to blood sugar levels as they affect hormones etc. It's ALL GOOD that things are evening out for you. I also have a 36 day cycle I have PCOS so hoping to shorten this & regulate it more with a little weight loss.

    atkins??

    For me I need to do atkins as I have PCOS and insulin resistance. I actually can't metabolise refined carbs at all and thats why I gained most of the weight back that I originally lost. With PCOS you crave refined carbs ironically. It really depends on your body type tbh what type of diet will...

    atkins??

    I did a type of Atkins after LT last time it was 'the idiot proof diet' basically the exact same. It would be the best if you want to lose more weight but you'll need to stick strictly to it. I lost 21lbs on LT & then got to goal weight quickly with this modified Atkins diet. Read up lots on...
