    So Sunday was a disaster. Took tetras to a BBQ. Ended up eating loads of chicken and ribs plus salad. Something I think I read stopped me from eating too many obvious carbs but sure I have knocked myself out of ketosis. But Two days on I don't actually feel any hungrier like on the first...

    Day two went ok. Felt super hungry at bedtime so had loads of water. Still felt hungry so had green tea-not great at bedtime but I felt a little desperate tbh. Actually can say that I love the shakes and look forward to them unlike the bloody porridge which is turning into a mind over matter...

    Doctor says Xenical is going to be withdrawn ??

    Saw my GP this morning, she rang the other GP whilst I was there. It turns out that he was referring to last year's withdrawal and not any new research. It just sounds like he's not a fan of the drug and was just fobbing my friend off. In fact, he said that if she wanted to come back and see...

    Doctor says Xenical is going to be withdrawn ??

    My friend went to her GP today here in Kent and asked for Xenical (based on our conversation) and he outright refused to prescribe it for her. His reasons were that it was going to be withdrawn from the market due to health concerns/side effects. I have rung my GP but she wont be able to...

    How 'relevant' is the Alli Diet Plan Book ?

    Hi, just got this through the post, dead cheap from eBay. Read the first part when it tells you about the plan etc but how relevant are all the calories and suggested fat allowances in it. I should be on 1800 calories which ties up with MFP but it says up to 17g fat for each meal and only a...
