    I read that they are ok for up to a year out of date - the only thing you need to do is check there's no clumping of the product cos that means it got damp and there could be mould. If it looks and smells ok you should be fine. there was another discussion about this here...

    How to stop emotional overeating?

    I very much used to be like that until I had some counseling for a course I'm doing and I haven't done this for quite a while now so it seems to have been a knock on effect of learning to express how I feel not keep it in.

    Question about ketosis

    Atkins does give good losses - I averaged 2.75 lbs a week over months - but not quite as good as a vlcd
  96. azlan

    Question about ketosis

    if you ate more than 100g protein on a hungry day it would do less damage than eating something with carbs as you would stay in ketosis but if you did it regularly it would affect your loss and kind of defeat the purpose of being on a vlcd with the rapid weight loss you expect.

    Question about ketosis

    Yes you can - there are quie a few people who switched from a vlcd to atkins without coming out of ketosis.

    Money issues! :(

    That's what I meant! Eggs are the cheapest protein I could think of
  102. azlan

    Money issues! :(

    the only way I can think of making it cheaper would be to use eggs to replace a pack (don't forget to take a multivit too if you do this)- can get a tray pretty cheaply. Or you could get some meat or fish when it's reduced in the supermarket - would be better than using slim fast anyway
