first day of JUDDD!

[bettiesrevenge]

Hi all. Tomorrow is my first official DD. I've had an UP today and I have to say I have eating fatigue! I feel bloated and weird. I'm reading through the low carb friends JUDDD forum. Having been on VCLDs for over a year and just stalling in hoping this is going to work to fix my messed up metabolism.

I found myself hitting a wall today. I never thought I would say that! Just couldn't eat' hopefully down days will be easier!

I will be weighing in on a Saturday. So jeronimo! Off I go!

Good luck, hope it works for you , you should be fine after doing VLCD s you know what its like to eat very few cals, don't forget to enjoy your UPs too thats an important point too. Welcome to our little corner of minimins

Thanks! I do have a diary over on silver members. I'm looking forward to it I have to say! It's hard to eat that high numbers of cals, today I've made some bad carby calorific choices. Hopefully that's just novelty. I need to really manage those carby demons! The occasional treat is fine but today, I was a monster and I feel sluggish and bloated as a result, not to mention a bit hormonal! Which will be all the sugar whooshing around my body.

Can I just ask, is it best to stick to alternate up and downs for the whole week. I see some people have double ups on a weekend. Is that after the initial two weeks?

Hi I started Juddd with 2 UPs on a weekend and thats how I have always done it , I think others have done it from the start too. I suppose alternate days is the 'best' way to do it but I 'usually' lose weight and have the weekend off can't ask for more than that ! Just do with whatever you feel comfortable with x

Folks on that LCF JUDDD forum you've been browsing recommend that you do 2 strict weeks of UD/DD rotation before adding tweaks (have you spotted any of my daft posts there yet? ). Can't remember if Dr J advises that too (I do have the book so I'll have a look later). But anyway, they reckon it's best to do the 2 weeks of strict rotation so that you get lots of SIRT enzymes kicking in. They may be on to something, because people report that after a few weeks on the diet they're able to do 3 or even 4 UDs in a row without gaining weight.

But as well as Jo, KarenLou's done UDs on both Saturday and Sunday from the beginning, I think, and is still losing well. I guess it depends a bit on whether you feel you need to do UDs on both days. Now that I'm into the swing of it, I'm finding that I don't actually want to do two UDs in a row!

[bettiesrevenge]

Well hello! Thanks for popping in Ruth!

Lily, it makes perfect sense to do strict Up and down for the first two weeks. I think I will use this as my first week and do it by the book. I'm going to have to plan some proper meals on UP days, so I don't just go mad and eat for Britain all the sugar I can get my hands on!

Mel - are you on LCF too?

 

[bajoleth]

Good luck .Not that you need it you will be fine

Just an interesting note , sorry to hijack your thread but everyweek I have done Juddd I have done 2 UPs on the weekend, the first time that I didn't do 2 UPs in a row was last week and it was my first ever STS??? Now there were lots of factors that could have affected that , TOTM due (though I lost 2lbs a week last time on TOTM week, I havent been to the toilet !, etc etc, so I am sticking with what I know works for me, not that this should have any reflection on what you decide to do just thought it was an interesting aside

Morning Nat. I tried to register for the forum but for reason I can't get on. I could not find a phone or iPad version, so I think it will be a laptop thing. I will come back and let you know when I access. I'd like to read some more about what people are doing on JUDDD.

For some reason it's quite strictly moderated. I've already inadvertently contravened the rules twice (I was mortified - I'm not a naughty girl! - and I only have around 25 posts there!) I almost took my bat and ball home and gave it up as a bad job but there's so much useful stuff there that I decided to try not to take it personally and hang on in there!

Interesting about the STS and the 2 UDs, Jo. As you say, it might just be a coincidence. P'raps a nice 'whoosh' is coming your way for next week.

Nat, as the days have gone on, I've found I've wanted less and less sweet stuff on an UD - instead, I find myself drawn to ridiculously healthy stuff like fruit and veg. I think the whole process is making me more aware of my calorie intake and getting maximum bang for my buck, as it were!

Hello all!

Well today has been a ridiculously down day. Down in all respects of the word, and I've not been the gym since Saturday. Pants. But the good (?) news is I think I'm at less than 250 cals at the moment. I'm going to go onto MFP in a mo to find out.

Lily I hope my up day tomorrow is more restrained. I need to know what others are eating to try and nab some ideas. I have plenty of steak, chicken, fish.... Problem is I don't do rice, or chips or even pasta, so I usually have salad. Not many cals there!

Hope y'all are ok!

Carby veg, then? Carrots, peas, sweetcorn? Fats! Nuts!

Bleugh to salad My favourite thing about this WOE is that I don't have to do salad!

Doh, I've just registered that you said "down in every sense of the word".

Big hugs :bighug: Sorry it's been a crappy day x x

Thanks Hun! Just had more dark revelations at work and feel utterly skanked by a colleague I trusted for the last three years. Turns out there is every possibility that he was the smiling assassin stealing from under my nose!

Tomorrow is an up day though!

 

[Lily]

Well, let's hope it's an up day in every sense of the word then x x

Boo to skanky colleagues! :argh: :flamingmad:

 

[Trefoil]

Hope you're ok today and that you have a better day! Colleagues can be so nasty!!

You are doing so well so keep it up

This is from me!! :bighug:

Still about 700 cals short! I need to get these in before 6 in future!

Today has been ok though, bit of a dense breaky, light lunch of tuna salad and rib eye and cauliflower mash for tea!

Totally mid month bloated though. Puffy to the extreme!
