This morning I tried to make a frittata with spinach and 2 eggs - it was not nice! But could be better if cooked by a person who can cook. I threw it away and made scrambled instead - much better.

I am so full right now, I'm loving this plan! Did an hours aerobics DVD today and feeling very good at the moment. also cooking more - I cooked the quorn fillets with garlic, red peppers and red onion in tin foil (80g of veg) served with salad leaves and cucumber never thought such a simple meal...

That's awesome! Well done.

You need to keep an eye on the carbs, there is a section on the sns website where you can add in food and it will tell you how much you are eating. That tracker has 650 cals and 65g of carbs as the optimum to loose weight. Some people will loose if going over some will not. Personally I use my...

Does anyone know if licorice tea knocks you out of ketosis?

Drinking definitely is the key - I was not hungry yesterday but thirsty! Lesson Learnt there. Wk 2, day 1 - ok well I'm in giddy shock - lost 13 lbs this week! That's almost a stone! First week was easy really did 4 days just food packs and 3 with a meal and I lost each day. I'm not hungry or...

I lost 13 pounds :D I'm assuming it will start to slow down next week but I will be happy with 3 pounds next week as then my BMI falls under 30. Hope everyone else had a good week.

9 pounds is awesome. I love the stuffed pepper idea I shall have to try that one.

That recipie would give you around 30 carbs which would push you out of ketosis as you should aim for 65g of carbs a day on this plan. you could add some spices to the packet tomato soup though. Trust me it needs something I dislike that one - tastes like raw tinned plum tomatoes !

I know right, flavored bread mmmm the last temptation ! Day 7 - last day of the first week and I am 12 pounds down ! Don't see how I could loose any more ahead of my official weigh in day! I had some coke zero yesterday and today I am quite hungry, of course I also burnt off twice the amount of...

I've yo-yoed in weight for the past 12 years, in recent years I kept starting diets and then giving up after a stone or so loss. Recently I realised I was heavier this birthday than last and that had I not kept putting off loosing weight I would have been happier on my birthday night out rather...

Ooh tomato crisps - interesting will have to try that. thanks I'm still amazed that I keep loosing each day. I really love the other soups so was disappointed by the tomatoe but to be fair I think I'm used to Heinz cream of tomato so you can't really get close to that! Did not stick to just...

Thank you :). Hmm that's interesting I had no idea what caused it - just hoped it wouldn't happen again as I don't want to quit! Day 6 - another pound down! Can't believe how quick it's falling off and I know some of its water and may come back at the end but its really keeping me going. Not...

Sadly all I can think of is carrots! Going to add some tomorrow - never thought I would br craving carrots

Sorry I worded it wrong, I meant boiling. I didn't read the packs properly and I was using boiling water for the first few days but it mixes better when boiling so I wondered the reason why no boiling.

Thanks, I love this diet so far but I'm looking long term and sticking within the 65g limit seems a good start.

Started the plan at size 16 (a tight 16), would like to get to a 10 before the summer hits. Days 1 - 3 were easy and that was coming off a period of heavy eating following my birthday, even managed a 50 min aerobics session on 3. Day 4 - was really hard,I woke up early in the night with a numb...

Mmmm, I agree popcorn is so hard to resist, I like to smell it though (which may sound weird !) and that seems to be enough to offset the cravings if I'm in a strong mood.

It taste nothing like it smells, which freaked me out! But very tasty and so nice to have the noodles - starting to miss pasta!

Are the additional foods allowed chosen purely for their low carb content? If so surely you can add in other foods as long as you stay under 65g of carbs? I'm a vegetarian and would like to add some quorn in as according to my stats for the day I have 100 calories and 10g of carbs 'left' over, I...

Cinema / theatre wouldn't involve food. Going for rambles / long walks would burn calories and you could take a bar with you to snack on.

Sounds interesting. Part of the reason I tried this diet is because I can't cook, looks like I may pick up some cooking tips as I go along!

I'm curious as to why we can't add hot water straight to the powders, you can't for the soups either ?

Is the curry nice, I've not tried this one yet?

I used the e cig last year it hurt my throat but I carried on, lasted a couple of months with it but returned to normal cigs as for me it was a substitute and I considered myself still a smoker. Quit cold turkey in November, had one night off in jan but nothing since.

Chicken

I have 5 at the moment plans for 3 more when I get the funds. Mine are small as I never see to commit to a bigger design! Though I would like a large one, one day.

Lol, I feel the same - moffatt is genius. I loved coupling his character Jeff was hands down the funniest character ever created.

Escape freedom

I love sci fi and some fantasy novels. I am new to reading sci fi as previously I would just watch tv/films. Anyone have any recommendations for humorous sci fi - I really liked the red dwarf novels and whedon graphic novels.

Doctor who and supernatural series 8 to start in the uk

Disneys Alice in wonderland or the animated version of Charlottes web

Counting down to the second half of this series! I like the idea behind the new companion reappearing and hope we find out why. I think Stephen moffatt is evil (made me cry too often!) but has such strong story archs.

Lol, that is just evil! But if you resist that then you know you can get through the tough first few days!

I agree with above, it maybe the scales. Weigh in next week at the same time in the same clothes and you maybe surprised. Well done for not comfort eating.

New wardrobe and new tattoo on my arm as its too pudgy right now for a tattoo.

No feeling in the world like fitting into a smaller size, congrats :D

From what I understood you can only have quorn during the refeed stage. On the website it advises that you have 4 packs a day if you're a vegetarian. http://www.slimandsave.co.uk/ebay/Full-VLCD-Program.pdf

Thank you. 60g seemed to be average. I couldn't find that information any where else.

Hi, can anyone tell me the maximum carb allowance of this plan? I'm on my second day, yesterday I had 60g and today it will be 52g I am 70 calories under the 650 limit and wondered if I could therefor add a little bit more veg as long as I stay within 650 calories?

Just started today, so see you next week! Congrats on your losses so far.

Hey, I have done this plan before and lost just over 2 stone. I went off plan (in a big way!!) so I decieded to try this again. I have followed the plan correctly and lost only 3 pounds the first week (normally I lose 4 - 6 pounds) but I can live with that as I am a bit older now. But since last...
