Ok I'm mega frustrated, this is my third time trying to post this but computer keeps crashing!! So I have 3 questions and would be so grateful if someone could give me a few pointers -
Question 1! - Is the reason we're advised not to chew gum purely because it would make us more hungry? If so, I can totally handle that, I'm hungry anyway and how much worse could it get really. I'm just missing my chewing gum and hate this constant bad taste in my mouth and the worry about my breath! Though if it actually has any actual negative effects on the weightloss then obviously I'll just have to deal..
Question 2 - I'm on day 5 of SS and have been invited out for a meal next Friday with this guy I've been on a couple of dates with, and I can't suggest an alternate activity because his boss has actually apparently offered to pay for a meal for him and a nice girl (me ) up to £150 because he's been working hard lately or something! - So... what do I do to try and limit the damage! Stick to proteins or greens or..? I don't know, any advice? Also drinks - is anything as bad as anything else or is red/white wine/rose/champagne better? Obviously I'll only have a couple of glasses and just try and make them last but just wondering if anything is less bad. And I won't be telling him I'm on a diet because that's so unsexy for a guy hehe he can just think I'm naturally shrinking!
Question 3 - No matter how hard or for how long I wisk, my shakes are always very lumpy! I don't own and can't afford a blender, and I don't actually mind the lumpiness (makes the shakes feel slightly more substantial and food-like somehow) but it would be nice to get them smooth if I could. Is this actually possible without a blender?
Hope someone can help! Thanks!
