Hi Tina
My diary is here on this very forum:
http://www.minimins.com/celebrity-slim/80381-yo-yos-celebrity-slim-diet.html
I tend to just break the diet down into six sections (well, it's actually five now I have got the swing of it). As you can see from my diary I just note down the five 'meals / snacks' that I have and how many calories they are.
It is really more calorie counting and portion control more than anything else. The literature you get with CS isn't brilliant so don't worry about being confused. After the first couple of days when I had got over my carb craving and I didn't have any hunger pangs I thought to myself I would reduce to one shake and just try and up my protein levels and keep carb levels as low as I could. It seems to be working. If you eat less than 2000 calories (or however many you need to maintain) than you should lose weight and honestly this has been the first time I have been eating so little calories and not being hungry. With a conventional high-carb diet I would have had 1100 calories by lunchtime then been starving all afternoon.
You're probably not eating too much.
1. Shake @ 250 cals.
2. Shake @ 250 cals.
3. 30g of cheese is 123 calories no carbs (obviously you don't know how much in weight you ate though)
4. The book does state that you should only have about 100-150g portion of 'meat' so 150g chicken breast is 182 calories. Allow probably 100 calories for your veggies.
So you can see you might have eaten loads of foods, but not loads of calories. So far with 4 meals you're only up to 902 calories and the Australian site tell me that it's 1250 on average so you've still got 250 cals to spend and 2 meals to go.
