just a quick question, what did you do when you were on your twelve week break did any of you go mad i.e go out for a meal or drink? i've been invited to a birthday meal i havent seen this person for a long time and they're planing on going for a meal and drinks.... need some advice really
I'm gonna say what most of the others have said. Sorry.
It's not a week 'break'. You need to be just as strict on the 810 as you are on SS. It's really important as a slip can send you back and forth, back and forth, whilst you try to get back on the diet. I have seen it so many times

I;m coming up to week twelve as well. Personnally I believe you have to live.
Absolutely!! And I can live without eating more than I need. In fact, I can go to a BBQ, tea etc and not eat because I'm too busy living
I have had two or three meals since being on the diet and still lost 4st in 11 weeks.
So you can make it work for you, but most people can't. You are tall, and I guess a bloke. The weight will drop off you. You are not going to be effected so much by leptin levels. Your metabolism is higher, your cravings are unlikely to be so strong...whatever you may feel.
It's rare that people get to goal and maintain doing this. You may be one of the lucky ones.
If you don't enjoy your life on the diet your more likly to fall off it, just control what you are doing.
I believe this can really work with other diets, but very much harder with diets such as CD. Besides, as I mentioned before, there is absolutely no reason why you can't enjoy life without eating more than you are supposed to.
pebb. It really is entirely up to you what you do. Whether it's worth the risk or not. obviously as Serena says, if you want to drink alc, then you will need to up your carbs. Just a bit concerned that you refer to that week as a break week, that's all.
So, whatever you chose, make it a choice you will be happy with. Not just that day, but a few days/months later
