Hehe, the kebab diet is great, no sauce or naan bread though! I probably should take multi vitamins, thanks for the reminder.

Hmm, thought someone would spot that after a while.. yeah,I usually have 3 a day instead of 4 because 4 feels like too much and only have 2 on my kebab/bad day.. :0

Just a normal chicken kebab, not a donor one, remove the naan and just have cucumbers. :3

hehe, it all started when I first started this diet; I looked on the exante section to see what "normal" food is acceptable rarely; most of them mentioned chicken kebab being the best option for fast food and say it's not too bad if you don't have the naan, I have had it once a week on this diet...

Had my weekly kebab yesterday, same old me. I don't normally eat a kebab every week, I swear! it just fels like the only fast food thing I am allowed on this diet. :x

I lost 2 stone, 2 pounds in 3 weeks on Slim and save, it's very cheap but not too many people know of them yet, so if you want a forum with tons of people and support go for exante.

If you don't need it, seriously - don't have it. my fiance had one and is regretting it big style; she can't eat what she used to, gets sick sometimes and farts often because of another op she had to have done after, for those ball thing's that gastric bypass gives you.

Yea, the packaging is a bit like a mixture between economy and premium, it's silver-ish yet the same size as the white ones and easy to tear open. Hmm, that's a good idea for warming it up, but I do admit I love cold cafe latte's normally. :0

Had it cold because i'm worried about warming up my plastic bottle, tasted a bit like both, very coffee tasting and very milky!!

The cafe latte is nice!! just added a rating to it (check sig) :D

Thanks. vickybb; must you really spam every single thread with your post?

Thanks size12 and Borders; yeah, I got a bit annoyedwith normal food, I'm glad to say I put on less than 5 pounds which was my goal, though tonight there's a family party(peer pressure) so it might actually be half-half today and 100% tomorrow. :x

Look at my sig for info about the other weeks, me and my reviews of S&S products! Inventory: 8 Spag Bol, 1 Cottage Pie, 1 Porridge, 1 cafe latte, 26 banana bars, 12 economy vanilla, caramel, choc honeycomb, 6 strawberry, 5 chocolate, 3 vanilla, banana. Opening thoughts: Well, I lost 2 stone, 2...

Awesome. your 100% and exercise? you'll get through this in a breeze; good diary, you can check my first week in my sig if ya want. ^_^

Your breath will smell like a hospital and you won't be hungry.

Good luck! sure you'll do fine!

About the gym.. I recommend you try and do 3 hours+ a week if you can or do some exercise at home, you don't want to lose any muscle. :D Good luck!

That's great news, I bet you feel fantastic! Won't be long till you get into the "overweight" BMI category!

Hehe, just going back to "normal" food with fruit as snacks (ie: bananas, oranges, etc.) and smaller portions so I can get used to them and control them better. 2 stone odd in 3 weeks is crazy good, I took a pic of me with my old jeans to see the difference this diet has made already: Still got...

Thanks for pointing that out, I must have deleted her entry whilst removing he quotes :o It feels great losing that much and I do feel much better and can get into smaller clothes now, just think I need to gain maybe 3-6 pounds and stat again and lose another 2 stone after xD!! Good luck...

Just try and be strong and have will power, i'm a parent (and tidy the house all the time) and it's tough but you just need to be strong..

Because the sandwhich will kick you out of ketosis which is the main thing for VLCD's. if your in ketosis and eat a sandwich a week later, that sandwich will turn into direct fat.

K Just ketogenic food like kebab with no Pitts or chicken Foo young with no side.. has been okay with a kebab each week so far xD Sent from my Blade using MiniMins

Hey Jacey, just wanted to say a big welcome and good luck for your goal, i'm sure you'll achieve it.

I do the same as borders; look at the atkins website and if i'm hungry, make something from one of their recipes, it's done me no harm so far! ^_^

Heh, same happened to me but with fish and chips before I had to go out for a 3 hour long course at collage,glad I didn't nip one but I was a bit stressy before leaving.. :sigh:

Grats Foolsgold :D

Enjoyed my usual kebab yesterday and couldn't even eat it all, great! Jumped on scales this morning and it's not gone up, bonus!.

Hey, don't forget that it wouldn't hurt to have an extra shake than normal if you feel a bit week on 1st-4th day! Good luck, I know it's tough the first 4 days. I personally get bloated by having 4 shakes a day so I cut mine down to 3 lol.

Thanks girls, yeah, i'm shocked I lost so much after having a kebab with pitta! just means I can have another one his or next week too because I know it won't harm me too much :8855: Persephone, 1lb is still a loss so don't get too upset about it. :D

Look at my sig for other weeks and for info about me and S&S! Day 1 Shakes: 13 Economy Vanilla, 9 Strawberry, 5 Vanilla, 3 Banana, 3 Chocolate. Food/Bars: 8 Spag Bols, 27 Banana Delights, 3 Tesco Bars, 1 Pizza Wafer & 1 Chicken Soup. 8am: Had a premium vanilla shake. finally, it's starting to...

Hmm, if they help you through it then there's nothing wrong with them and i'm not too sure on their effect's yet, might have one today, xD! Lost 9lb's and it's week 3 now!

Ahh, silly me! Sent from my Blade using MiniMins

Umm, what is the pool? :3

Great job but just 2 shakes a day for a man is literally starving yourself and your probably burning of muscle too.... I know I feel almost dead with just 2-3 when I miss some... just be careful and good luck! Sent from my Blade using MiniMins

Hmm, I also thought I wouldn't survive because of the price but here I am and I have tons of the stuff now.. 0_o I think you'll be surprised by how much you may save from switching from food/drink to S&S. I used to spend more than I thought on food rofl..

Welcome and good luck, we will all support you! :P

Your right! I forgot about that and I did eat the pitta so i'm okay if it's not a huge loss, I think the bars may have also been why I didn't lose too much too, I'm going to try and cut down on them if I can. Another thing is I am going to the gym often this week so I could have gained muscle...

welcome! I remember my denial stages, still feels weird how obese I was!

Had a salad earlier with some chicken because I felt I needed some protein and it shouldn't have much carbs... :3 2 days to weigh in and scared because I'm weighing 16stone and on my friday weigh in I was 16.2 :(

Good luck with it! :3

I was worried at first to tell people I was doing this but then eventually told everyone, some didn't like it but more importantly some support me and I don't mind some people not liking it in exchange for support from others! :) Sent from my Blade using MiniMins

Gray's on your ketosis headache. Rofl. Also, I didn't know the bars would slow down the weight loss Sent from my Blade using MiniMins

Grats! for some reason I have been 16 stone for 4 days now... 0_o

Congrats! I'mn looking forward to my second stone, though not lost much since last weigh in.. :0

If it's not to be a meal replacement you probably shouldn't have it. x_x yeah, the vanilla's are taking ages but they should go if I keep eating them daily. :3 It went well today, thanks for asking! I had another tesco bar earlier (raspberry) and it was quite nice but prefer the chocolate...

Sure some grilled fish would be just fine! Just a shame you can't have a fish pie ROFL.

I'm a scales hopper too, and I check daily. I lost 16lb's on my first week with S&S. also, doesn't coke zero taste aweful and really.... fizzy yet to you? I can't drink it any more because it now tastes aweful to me even though it used to be one of my faves, but it's a good thing really...

eek! you can't be that unfortunate again!

Good luck, should be easy in 4 days! Sent from my Blade using MiniMins

Hey Tom(?), men are rare to find on these diet's sadly. Anyway, advice? hmm... first off all you need to set a schedule for your 4-5 shakes, if your over 40 BMI and get hungry often I recommend 5, if you do go with four, maybe have a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch, bar for a snack and a...

I know that feeling. I wanted a coffee so much the other day when I was at collage, everyone else around me was drinking it, so I got a black coffee :sigh: it's just not the same.. Thanks, I was a bit scared at first tbh.. I hope I lose more than 4lbs next week, good luck on your goal btw!

I think it was worth it though.. because today I tried one of my old favorite fizzy drinks (Coke Zero) and spat it out because it tasted aweful now so I know I will go to squash after this, just wanted to see if I still liked kebabs and I do :8855:

I will try to have two vanillas tomorrow, I hope I don't go off track! Just arrived and there were only 10-12 small chunks so gave in and ate the Pitta too :( Sent from my Blade using MiniMins

I feel really naughty because i'm going to have a kebab tonight, I did look into it and people on the exante forum say it's okay to eat a chicken kebab without the salad and pitta so I am, I just need to.. rofl, hopefully it doesn't turn out tooo bad!!!

Thanks! hopefully i'll get there by December. :D

Look at my sig for other weeks and for info about me and S&S! Day 1 Left: 18 Economy Vanilla's, 28 Banana Bars, 4 Strawberry, 2 Spag Bol, 1 Chicken Soup. Ordered 24 mixed premium shakes and 7 Spag Bols. 10am: I had an economy vanilla so I can start clearing them off for the new premium shakes...

Hey Clare, welcome! Seem's to be a few people coming from LT to S&S lately, i'm sure you will be fine as long as you don't buy the economy shakes, which was my downfall. If you think it will be hard to prepare food for your children whilst you drink shakes, why not look into having a normal...

Hopefully I do! hehe, I thought that there were no other diary's in this section like this so why not make one to help people who just start it so they know what tastes okay and not... You don't mind the economy vanillas!?!? how!? ROFL! I didn't know they did cafe mocha's; are they any good...

S&S has it's own forum on here: Slim And Save - MiniMins.com - Weight Loss Support Forum It's a great VLCD, some people come from LT, CD, etc because it's cheaper and does the exact same job. I lost 14 pounds and not even my 1st week WI yet, I also got into ketosis on 3rd day and been in it...

I should imagine it won't be too different, you could go to a pharmacist to get all the monitoring you had before and i'm most likely going to be following the LT refeed scheme after S&S, shame they don't have their own one though!

Hey. If he's over 40 BMI then i'd say 5 a day if he can cope with that many, I'm on 4 a day but sometime's feel like it's too much and am too full up from them. He would lose between 3 and 10 pounds a week I should imagine and the first week would be over 8 pounds, I have lost 10 pounds and...

It's tomorrow but thanks for the early good luck! :D

Tastes nice with raw mushrooms too, I don't know if you can microwave them though... Anyone use any other veggies? :)

Sorry it took so long to reply... the white one's are premium and the silver ones are economy, lucky you got a mix from ebay, I only saw vanilla on there last. good luck! ^^

Hopefully you will do well, if you did it before I don't see why you can again!!

It tastes like a microwave spag bol but with hint of spice. Quite enjoyable considering.

Funnily enough, my goal for christmas is to get to my actual weight loss goal, if that happens or not I am am dreading to find out!

Almost a week over already! Ahh, thanks it does! I probably won't order them again tbh.

Day one will be 100% in 2 hours time and I have a bar! :3 100% throughout the last 5 days!

Welcome, but I must point something out... the ones on ebay are cheaper because they are the economy ones, if you ordered the vanilla one's then please, please beware. I ordered a weeks worth and literally feel sick and it's only been day 5 for me and I am eating spagh bol and bars too, it's...

I had the exact same happen to me yesterday, hopefully we can prov them wrong!

I hope not :( S&S need to clarify on them, I wish I didn't eat them now rofl. Sent from my Blade using MiniMins

Thanks for that info Lucy; does help me understand it now! Phew, was panicking a bit - think my body is burning 2k+ cals a day which is a bit scary but as long as I don't cheat it will hopefully not be too much of a bad thing. Hmm, all the wafers must be nice then, I wonder if a pack of...

Hmm, bit off topic but I haven't passed food through my system for a few days is that normal or am I constipated? :confused: Looking forward to day 4! :3

I'm from Portsmouth, maybe we should all get together for a group 5-10 mile walk? Sent from my Blade using MiniMins

I think my water tastes differently today, maybe that means my ketosis is kicking in? Ahh, that would explain why I was so hungry yesterday! I did think about having another drink but it got too late and I thought it was best not to in the end - I survived okay yesterday, I'll hopefully not...

My break is near christmas too, hopefully you get through it and I pray I do. :0

You are doing great, hope I have it in me to stick to it as much as you are.. :)

Just had a sneaky look on the scales and I have almost hit dead on 17 stone, great! I will be so happy to get back to the 15 stone mark which I was at in my teens, anything lower is just extra awesome sauce! Day 3 in the morning (time flies), sure I will be alright, i'll make sure to...

No. Vodka is one of the worse things to have while on a LCD, it could be dangerous.

I hope I cna get there in 12 weeks, I do the same as you with the scales thing.. I checked a few time's today and it says I lost 3 pounds already! not shocked seeing as I burned of more than I ate in just one bike ride the other day ROFL! They do charge for postage now it seem's, I had to pay...

Grats on getting into the 15 stone area! :D I'm sure you'll lose a few more pounds by your next WI.

I did but I must have skimmed through it too fast to have seen it! thanks for posting it :8855:

Ahh, thanks for that, it looks like it doesn't, great! :)

Good luck with the restart! I for one hope I don't get tempted by food whilst on this because it's my last hope!(lol, dramatic)

I'm sure you will do well in this restart, you seem very motivated and are a great inspiration for some people. ^_^ Just keep thinking about your BMI and how much better your life would be with every 1 BMI you lose, that's what I do and it helps a bit! Umm, where is this "list" for vegetables...

Hmm, I'd definitely eat the bars whilst not on this plan but not too sure about the spag bol, oh and does the muesli bar have nuts in it? :3 Thanks alot for that advice, shame you can only have one bar a day but it's fair enough I guess; to be honest, earlier I felt like I was too full up to...

Thanks for the welcome, is the spag bol okay to eat daily? do I just replace a shake for it and umm.. will it make ketosis not work? Thanks and sorry for all the questions :0

Hehe, I was close to getting 50 myself but feared i'd never, ever get around to eating them all, they are so yummy, I doubt anyone could go off them, I like them more than my old fatty chocolate bars a bit. Thank you for the welcome, I think this is the most active slim & save forum around...

This could be great news! Would be nice to see different flavoured shakes and flapjacks would be orgasmic. (hopefully no nuts)

Look at my sig for other weeks and for info about me and S&S! Day 1 S&S Arrived, I got a week's worth of vanilla shakes(28), 35 banana bars, 5 spag bols and 10 strawberry shakes. 10am I made my first shake(vanilla), it smelt and tasted like Ready Break! Halfway through drinking it I felt full...

That is amazing, well done.

Hehe, thanks for the welcomes, I was lurking in the VLCD area's before joining. Good luck Luv2BSlim.

Hey guys and dolls; name's Shaun, I woke up one day being fed up with being looked at because of my weight and I just snapped and decided to lose some weight, surely, most people had the same occurrence? I'm starting a VLCD called Slim&Save, it looks promising and I have heard some good...
