Hi
I guess you're probably not meant to use DC if you only have a small amount to lose (i.e. 7 -14lbs) but I need something to get me sorted and I don't want to do any daft detox type thing.
Last year I started on the CD in October and successfully lost 3st, however this year I slowly put 1/2 stone back that I am finding absolutely impossible to get back off. When I lost the 3st I still had a few lbs to go to get to goal so now I reckon I'm around 7 - 14lbs overweight. I know that's not a lot in the grand scheme of things but it's making me quite unhappy, plus I bought an awful lot of lovely new clothes that are now too tight and I refuse to start buying next size up again or I just know I'll be on that slippery slope back to 3stone over again.
Anyway, I decided to try D.C as the meals looked lovely and not at all like a diet. My box arrived yesterday so I've now completed (almost) my first day. As follows;
B. 2 desertspoons of fruit (raspberries, blackberries and apple)
topped with a probiotic yogurt
topped off with the pink apple and cinnamon granola
L. tomato soup
D. Beef in black porter with broccoli
handful of grapes
later tonight I will have one of the nak'd bars and a milky coffee.
I am however feeling quite hungry and looking at what I've eaten can see it's probably not enough for me at a BMI of around 24 so I think I may add a bit more fruit and veg tomorrow. I am also horrified at the amount of granola and am dreading having it with just milk, I think adding a banana will probably help there.
Any advice or encouragement gratefully received
