Hi all
On day 47 of LL and not entirely convinced I'm well in ketosis. Ketostix used to be dark pink before I started bars and in weeks I ate only one a week because they made me hungrier. Anyone know if a pale pink ketostick means too much water OR not much in the way of ketones? My weight stays pretty static most of the week and if anything happens it happens over a day or two and those are the only days I feel cold. Have stuck faithfully to diet but am one of slowest losers in group - even when others have fessed up to having a wee nibble or a drink. V frustrating. Do I really have to ditch the cranberry bars? Am quite short - does this matter? Have PCOS - does this matter? Want to keep the faith but it can be challenging. When councillor said this diet was a 'no-brainer' I was happy to think if I do it the weight will go, and yet it seems that my body has other ideas from week to week. Am not a gym-goer but hey on 500 calories a day I could have a job as a door stop and still burn more calories than that. Anyone out there offer me advice or reassurance?
(Then tell me how I attach the info about weight loss below my posts! Total new start! Clueless )
