Evening, Having originally started slim and save this time last year, I kept stopping and starting and managed to put on 2 stone more :/ I've now been following the plan since January and have now lost 20 pounds :D a small amount compared to some but I am just so pleased with myself! I...

Hi everyone! I'm currently doing a vlcd and I'm really missing food! I was just after a bit of advice and info about the dukan diet. I successfully lost 7lbs in one week just eating pure protein. On average, how much weight is lost per week? Would appreciate any come backs. Thanks Jo

I'm really struggling tonight and have the munchies! Am I aloud lean beef mince?

It's day 8 for me and I feel like giving up! I don't like many of the packs and the scales aren't showing a loss!! I've been sticking to it 100% so I'm confused why the scales have stayed the same for the past 3 days! I was so close going to the chip shop tonight but I know that's not going to...

I've been drinking loads of water! I've been having abit of extra protein but I done that before and it never affected my losses or ketosis! I don't want to be doing all this for the weight not to come off and just be losing the same weight as what I would on a diet where I can eat.

I'm on day 6 and I've had no signs that I'm in ketosis! I know the signs as I've had them before when I've done this diet. I'm starting to get frustrated as I've been 100%! Has this happened to anyone before? And we're your losses still good?

I've just checked the pack and there's no citric acid! Woo!

I've been chatting to slim and save on the live chat and they have said sugar free jelly is aloud. You can have half a made up sachet of jelly per day!

I think you can have extra protein but you may not lose as much. It's a good substitute to have when having a bad day.

I haven't no. Even the thought of the shakes makes me feel quesey! I'm having to drink them as quick as possible then down water to get rid of the taste! I'm getting some meals tomorrow so I'm sure ill like at least one of them... I hope!

That's good then :) bacon and eggs for me tomorrow!

I'm finding it really difficult to stomach any of the shakes at the moment. I'm hoping once I taste some of the meals, ill be able to survive on them.

I've been having the unsmoked bacon medallions grilled. I'm hoping its ok!

I'm sure I read somewhere that bacon with all the fat cut off, just the medallions, is a source of protein. Is this correct and could it be eaten on slim and save?

Wow!! What a fantastic achievement! You look great and like a completely different person!

So I originally brought and started slim and save back in February. After doing it on and off I always found some excuse not to go back on it! I'm now over a stone heavier that what I was when I originally started so now is the time to stop making excuses and just do it!! My confidence is at...

Hello Everyone, I originally started slim and save in February and was hoping to have reached my goal weight by now. This has not happened as I went off track even though I was doing really well and I now weigh more than what I did when I originally started :( I know my reasons for wanting to...

Hi guys, Just need some info or advice if anyone can help. We have a 11 week old female kitten who was 8 weeks when we got her. She was lovely and sweet when we got her but she has suddenly turnt very spiteful. I have grown up with kittens or cats and have never had a kitten act like this...

Hi everyone! Im being naughty and fancied something sweet. We have tesco own fruit drops in the cupboard so I checked the ingredients and there's no citric acid in them, just lactic acid. Are these ok to have? Just one or two as a treat?

Just a question about ketosis. If someone takes a day off, once the body goes back into ketosis, is it still water weight that is lost in the first week or does your body go straight to burning fat?

Just wondering how many carbs are roughly consumed on the slim and save diet daily and what is the maximum amount of carbs we can have in a day and still stay in ketosis?

Day 5 of re starting and trying to complete a full week... I go and eat malteasers :( didnt even enjoy them and now have the worst tummy ache. Hoping this wont affect my weightloss as only just got into the 15's and hoping ketosis will be nice to me and not run away lol

Well done :) thats great! And heres me being happy with seeing the 15's this morning! Haha!

I'm not sure if your meant too and it's never kicked me out of ketosis but when I fry mushrooms i use 2-3 sprays of 1 cal only spray.

Thanks so much everyone! Im restarting today so having my shakes and a egg and mushroom omelette to get me through the first couple of days. Ive never really been starving hungry on this diet. It really is just mind over matter and eating for the sake of it :(

So if i was too just eat extra protein, would i still remain in ketosis but maybe lose a little less? Deezer you seem like a pro at all of this lol

Well done! Your doing great :)

Woo well done :)

Wow! Well done!!

Welcome and good luck :)

Thanks guys :) I know if i can get through just 1 weekend i will be fine! Maybe this week will be the weekend i do it lol i hope so anyway!

Because i have been breaking it i am only down 3 pounds from one month! I weigh myself mid week and have been down 7 pounds but then it all goes back on at the weekend. I think i might just lock myself away in a cupboard every weekend!

Ok, ive been doing this diet a month now and still havent completed a full week. As soon as it gets to the weekend i eat! I do so well all week too! I know its down to will power and mind set but this is something i cant seem to break! I try to keep busy at the weekends but feel like im...

I've been feeling really run down lately. Does anyone know if it would be ok to take 2 multi vitamins too give my body a boost?

My partner has luckily managed to get some paid over time at work so i should just about be ok for a few more weeks. Thanks again for the offer xx

Thanks guys! Youve been really helpful and very generous :D i'm only drinking the shakes at the moment as i cant stomach the meals. Thank you so much for the offer! It's so kind of you xx

Hi, Money is going to be tight for me fir the next couple of months. Does anyone know if i could replace one or two of my meals with say something like slim fast? Would having those type of products keep me in ketosis? I'm 100% commited to doing this but money is getting in the way at the...

Im the same as you. Im not too keen on the bars or meals so just have shakes. Today i have only had 2 shakes and 2 boiled eggs and dont feel like my 3rd shake but think i might have to force it down for the nutrients.

Hi all, I restarted yesterday after a few days off as i wasnt feeling too great :( I tested just now with a ketostix for ketosis and it is showing traces. Can this be possible even though im only on my second day?

Oh dear! Completly posted this on the wrong forum! Im a previous LP person! Uh oh!!

So it seems that today a few of us have struggled including me. Must be the weather or something lol Ive already had a shake, a bar, 2 small boiled eggs and just now had a poached egg with chicken. Im hoping this wont knock me out of ketosis as ive only just got back into it. I cant wait to...

Maybe try a can of coke zero. Fizzy drinks always fill me up!

I know how your feeling! I am sooo hungry today too and have had to stop myself several times from eating! Just keep thinking to yourself how your going to look and feel once you reach goal!!

In general i am a bit thick lol so can someone enlighten me on what bullion is please? Thank you :)

This diet is really making me realise why ive become so fat! Ive just made my daughters dinner and without even thinking, i keep going to put bits of food in my mouth! I think picking has become so natural to me that it just happens! I think im going to find picking a hard habit to break lol

I've taken the advice of having my water in smaller glasses and I've already nearly drunk 2 litres! and don't even feel bloated! I'm just having to use the loo every 5 minutes lol I'm also drinking it through a straw which is helping it go down easier. Thanks for the advice :)

Thanks :) Im worried that if i dont drink enough, i wont lose as much!

That sounds like a good idea! I will try putting it in smaller glasses! I have a huge water bottle so just looking at it makes me feel bloated. Im going to look for water flavourings now. Thanks :)

Does anyone have any tips on how to drink the recommended 3 litres of water a day? I keep getting a swooshy feeling in my stomach like theres too much liquid in it. I dont gulp the water down and try to space it out and have a little at a time but im still struggling!

So yesterday I fell off the wagon after a very good week. I'm annoyed at myself as i wasnt even hungry! I just ate for the sake of eating. This morning I regret it even more! I have the worst upset stomach. Eating yesterday was really not worth it and it has made me realise that eating while...

Not sure if this has been done before, but thought it might help if we said why we are doing this diet. So if anyone is having a bad day, just read back to this and remind yourself! I am doing this diet: 1. For myself! To make myself feel good and not dread going clothes shopping. I want to...

Haha! Ive become like that too! As soon as i smell anything that could be food, i am sniffing! Ive also noticed that every advert seems to be food related! xx

Yum that sounds good! He's finished it now and even though i asked him to hurry up, I feel proud I didnt give in as i have been craving food all day! I do love this diet lol

So this might seem not a big deal but my boyfriend asked me to get him a mcdonalds when i was out. I did and didnt order myself anything :D This is a big thing for me as my diet use to be near enough just mcdonalds! I came home and had a chocolate shake and kept telling myself it was a...

I'm finding it hard to even drink 2 litres of water a day at the moment. It fills me up really quickly. I will try to up my water intake though.

I Have such bad breath at the moment which I can only guess is from my body now being in ketosis? I have a taste abit like nail varnish remover in my mouth. I'm finding the bad breath thing really hard! I hate bad breath and do everything to avoid it! I don't even go near my boyfriend if he...

Oops completely posted this in the wrong section! How do i move it?

I'm on day 3 and don't feel all that bad. I had a weird taste in my mouth last night and still have it even though I have brushed my teeth. I am also not feeling very hungry. Could my body now be in ketosis and ready to start getting rid my my fat :)

I've been managing fine on just the shakes :) I also tried microwaving the bars for 30 seconds and i now really like them warm!

On the slim and save info, it says we can have gherkins which happens to be one of my favourite foods :) I'm assuming we can have the gherkins in jars, but does anyone know does it matter what they are in? Like are gherkins in vinegar ok?

Ive only tried the spaghetti bolognese meal, lemon and museli bar and choc and banana shakes. I love the shakes so i think im best at sticking to them. I am going to order some truffa bars with my next order. Also waiting for the milk truffa bars which sound yum!

Is there a limit to how much can be drunk in a day?

Thanks. I might have to do that.

I'm on day 2 and i am really struggling! Not because of hunger but because of the taste of the packs. Once i'm in ketosis, will it be possible to just survive on shakes? I can't stomach the meals or bars! Thanks Jo

Do the high protein wafers count as one of the 3/4 a day? or are they just for treats? Jo :)

Anyone going? Jo :)

Does anyone know what ingredients kick you out of ketosis? I have some weight watchers hot chocolate to be used and wanted to make sure theres no ingredients in it which could stall ketosis. Jo

Day one of slim and save and even though its only been a few hours, I am feeling positive and ready to do this! Every year I get angry at myself for still being big at summer time! Because every year I tell muself I will be skinny next summer. I never enjoy summer because of how hot I get and...

I'm starting SnS on monday and I am actually excited about starting this diet! From what I've read on here you all enjoy it too and are getting good results. I tried the LP programme for a few days but it was torture lol the thought of the shakes now make me feel sick! Eurgh! I've read through...

I was meant to start the LP on Saturday but thought the weekend was a bad time to start as thats when I pick the most so I've started today. I'm just about to cook my little ones dinner and I'm really struggling! I am so hungry! Any advice? Thanks Jo x

I'm new to the LP and I am finding it really hard to drink all 3 shakes due to the water intake which is really filling me up. If I can only manage 2 shakes a day, will this affect the weight loss? Thanks x

I've also started today! Finding it very difficult as i keep thinking about all the food i could be eating lol but i know its my time to lose my extra weight and i'm determined to do it no matter how hard it is! Good luck :)

I've just had my first Lipotrim shake and I was pleasantly surprised! I had the vanilla. I've been reading through this forum for a while which is why i decided to start the LP. I just hope i can do as well as you all have!

Lost 4.5 in my first week :)

Wow! Can i join this team? If i can how do i do it? Ive been reading through this thread and you are all so movivated and supportive of each other! Something ive missed everytime ive tried to lose weight! Jo :)
