Hello!

[Alex]

Hey people! My name is Alex & I am from Northern Ireland. Today is my second day on LT, I have to say I found the first day extremely tough! Today has been better although I still really miss my food I keep thinking I can go chew on some but not actually swallow any

I've only had the strawberry & chocolate shakes and the chicken soup, with the strawberry & chocolate shakes they seem to have little bits through them is this the same for everyone or am I not doing it right?

hi alex and welcome to the forum,well done for getting through the first day,have you been using a hand blender that gets rid of them nasty lumps xx

 

[Alex]

Hey lillie, thanks . I've been using an electric blender that I used to make smoothies etc with.

 

[lillie]

that should work really,maybe try a hand blender as they have smaller blades and add a little more water i put about 12 oz of water in mine just helps get that bit more down xx

Hi Tracy. Mmm I think I will give that a go tomorrow as well, I'm planning on making one up tomorrow morning before I go to work hoping it will keep me going until I get home!

I like the sound of the flapjacks too, I miss the whole chewing thing!

I wanna lose 2-3stone. The pharmacist said they wont let me really lose anymore than that.

bloody adverts are the worst they used to drive me mad ,the first few days are the hardest but once you go into ketosis the hunger will stop,try early night that helped me and treat yourself to other things rather than food,you didnt say if you were male or female ,i had facials and got my nails done that helpedxx

 

[TracyJ]

Dont forget hun you have to drink the shake within 15 mins of mixing it!!! xxx

 

[lillie]

you have to drink yhe shakes within 15 minutes of maknig them for you to get all the good stuff in them,id waut a couple of weeks b4 trying the flapjacks,i like them but my tastebuds are completly different now xx

 

[Alex]

I'm a male. I plan on drinking the shake as breakfast I always wake up in the morning hungry, so if I have a shake just before I leave the house I should be fine in work with my water The strawberry shake is awful too, the chocolate was actually quite nice!

 

[TracyJ]

MMMmm the choc is yummy blended with loads of ice mmm xx

 

[lillie]

the choc ones are the best ,try one hot with peppermint tea yummy and the vanilla ones are nice with coffee hot and cold xx
