Thank you, I my tried shakes so far which are nice. How does everyone do their soups? U can't boil the water so do you just add hot water from a tap?
Hi Abby...good luck...ive been on step 2 for 5 days now...and its not bad at all!...once you get over the day 3 hunger issues you should be fine?...Ive been looking around for the best stuff to cook/eat etc as the high protein meal and find that chicken breast with 25ml of morrisons piri piri sauce (1cal p/25ml , 0 sugar , 0 carb) , and some pepper is good with some broccoli and carrots , being bigger than you I've been told to eat more protein so have chucked in a mini egg white omelette...fish is also good!...
Keep updating with your progress!...
Hope it all goes well!

I've been doing Stage 2 since July and lost loads. It's hard at first but u will soon get used to it - I had a 2 egg mushroom omelette last night it's one of my regulars.
I have cod a lot with lemon or lime juice squeezed over with a salad of lettuce, spring onion, cucumber, radish and celery and pour over balsamic vinegar as a dressing.
Another regular is chicken breast sprinkled with Cajun seasoning and I make celeriac chips and bake in oven using one cal spray.
I have loads of recipes up my sleeve. Fresh herbs and spices r great for adding flavour. Don't listen to anyone who tells u u can't have lemon - it's absolute rubbish. I've been using it from the start and I've lost 80lbs xx
Shall I be honest - I have ignore the portion advice since day 6 I think. I will take a photo of my tea tonight and post it here so u can see what I eat. I don't tell my CDC wot i do and she doesn't ask. Tonight I am having salmon but only because I've got my TOTM and I seem to crave it during it. When I am good I normally lose 4lbs a week, I'm not perfect I mess up occasionally but it's what u do over the long term that matters xxx
U will lost that really quick - I lost a stone in 2 weeks when I started; 9lbs in week 1 and 5lbs in week 2.
Mushroom omelette is amazing I use 2 eggs and 2 chestnut mushrooms. Skinned and bones thighs with hot and spicy seasoning and broccoli is another meal I have once a week.
If in doubt weigh u'r veg - and use electronic scales as they're more accurate. The chicken and celeriac chips are yummy and easy and do make u think u'r eating carbs. DO NOT EAT CARROTS, they r high carbohydrate!!! xx
hey...weigh in is tuesday!...i have shakes cold!...best way!x
Boos luck Abby, I've been doing CD for two wks and I have lost 1 st. The 1st week is so tough but it does get easier![]()
