Can't manage to get 3 packs in a day

You will just end up malnourished, and that could do all sorts of damage to your vital organs, skin, nails etc. I don't get why you would risk that, with all 3 packs you are still gonna lose a stone a month which is already a pretty crazy weight loss! If it is just that you don't fancy them, then man up and just eat them. If you struggle with the bars have a shake or soup instead, they are easier to get down I find x

Best advice!

It's exactly like that, I take this diet as a rehab from my food addiction and the packs would be my meds to keep me focused on the track ahead.

Will +rep(thank post) you Starlight, when I get home.

Good post! Thats an excellent way of looking at it

Hi everyone,

On the subject of bars. I know it says on the instructions to only have 1 bar per day as having more MAY get you out of ketosis. Has anyone tested this?
It would make my life so much easier if I could have 3 bars a day.

I dont think anyone has but they can also have a laxative effect so I definitely wouldnt recommend it

could you maybe try having a bar & a half one day then test if your still in ketosis then maybe add an extra half a bar a few days later to find your individual tolerance level?

It's not something I have tried but it's up to the individual. I would stick with the 1 bar a day though xo

Thanks again for all your advice guys!! I will try my hardest to stick to 3 packs a day! I'm not trying to lose more weight by only having 2 packs I can assure u all of that! I think my issue is just not wanting them! I have really started hating the bars and hence why I think I skip the lunchtime bar! And I'm not getting on much better with the soups either!! The strange thing is I loved them for my 1st 2 wks on TS!? I think I'm going to switch to 3 shakes a day and see how I get on!!

Will keep I posted on my progress! Thanks so much again for the posts!!! (",)

Good plan Dev, just stick with the packs you like, as long as you get three down you it doesnt matter which ones xx

I tested my theory and had 2 bars today and I'm in ketosis quicker than usual!!! Usually I'm in ketosis on day 3/4!!!!!!
Might try 3 tomorrow and see what happens. It's so much easier eating the bars than the soups etc

Think its different for everyone... I often have 2 or 3 bars a day now, most days in fact as I find it easier than the shakes. I've actually found I've had the opposite of a laxative effect though lol

That's good to know as I find it so much more satisfying eating something than drinking something!
I shall continue with my new method,x
