i have been so bad

[bridetobe291010]

Hi All

I am new on here and did a search for a forum where i could get advice. I have been on TFR for about 3 months and lost 3.5 stone and reached my goal of fitting in my size 14 dress.
BUT since i fit in it last weekend, i have done nothing but eat, i feel so guilty and didnt go for my weigh in on friday because i knew i had put on...

from reading all your posts, i have realised how bad i have been and i should have refed properly.

i need help in what to do next??? I have my hen party on the 2nd of october, so i want to be able to have more than one glass of wine without getting really drunk, but i also want to lose more weight.

I reached my main goal, so i am happy with myself, but if i carry on like this, i will be big again.

any advice please would help. should i start TFR tomorrow, or start like i am refeeding (even though i have pigged out this week)

please help, bride to be who just wants to cry :-(

I'm not an expert as I've not reached goal (and well done for doing that!) I refed through going onto Atkins and then across to South Beach Diet. In your position, I would quickly get onto Atkins/South Beach Diet. This will get you back into ketosis in a couple of days and should stop any cravings. You can then reintroduce carbs gradually in a couple of weeks. I wouldn't stress too much about a small gain - it's most likely to be water weight (I think each pound of glycogen binds 4 pounds of water to it) - as soon as you get back into ketosis, that glycogen and water weight should fall away again. Good luck with the wedding!

If your hen is in two weeks time it may be a bit too much to try and do tfr and refeed before it. Might be best to start with the refeed sheet now and follow it very carefully and also watch overall calorie intake for the next two weeks and you will drop a few pounds. If you restrict cals to about 1000 and stick with low carb/high protein you will surely lose.
Only you will know what suits you best. Have a great hen party!!

Hey love.
Here's the refeed plan. Try and stick to the principles of this and you should do ok. If you follow this you should be ok to drink on the 2nd. Just make sure you are sensible with drinks choices

Refeed Programme

DAY 1.

Have 2 Lipotrim servings and one meal, as follows (men continue to have 2 servings, as before, while women take 1 less serving of Lipotrim).

You may not have bread, grains (rice) or pasta until Day 4.
Fruit should wait until Day 4 at the earliest (later if you have carbohydrate problems).

You may have milk in tea/coffee.

At lunchtime or evening meal time you may have some skinless, boneless chicken breast or white fish fillet, or some skinless turkey (about 4-6ozs.) The fish or chicken may be steamed, microwaved, baked or cooked with a little water in a non-stick pan. Or you may have tuna fish in water or brine (drained). Vegetarians may use tofu or quorn.

You may also have either a moderate serving of salad (small breakfast bowl) from any of the following:
Lettuce
Cucumber
Cress
Watercress
Tomatoes
Mushrooms
Onions
Peppers
Bean sprouts
Celery dressed with a little lemon juice or wine vinegar
Or if you prefer, a moderate serving (2 heaped table spoons - no more)of some cooked vegetables.

DAY 2

You will have only 1 Lipotrim serving and 2 meals, as described for Day 1.

Day 3

Same as Day 2, but you may also have - at one meal only - an 8 ounce potato, plain boiled, mashed or baked, but with no addition of any fat. You may like to top with some skimmed milk, plain yogurt or very low fat fromage frais and a sprinkle of herbs.



Day 4-7

A Lipotrim serving for your breakfast plus:

Up to 3 serving of fruit (if you suffer from the insulin resistance problem, then eat these late in the day and do not snack on them during the day)

Up to 2 slices of bread or 1 pita or 1 roll or 1 bagel (without fatty spread)

Any vegetables you want except avocado, 1 or 2 servings with your meals (2 tablespoons per serving)

Any of the skimmed milk products.

Fish fillet (any size) or 6 ounces of chicken or turkey, as described before, or one tin of tuna in water or brine, drained. Vegetarians may use tofu, textured vegetable protein (TVP) or quorn.

Lean meat with all visible fat trimmed off

Low fat recipes prepared with low fat sauces - e.g. lean mince with low fat bolognese sauce

Medium baking potato or 6 small new potatoes or one serving of instant mashed potatoes (the kind with no added fat- read the label).

Instead of potato, you may have 4ozs of rice or pasta (cooked weight).

Sample menu for days 4 to 7.....


Sample 1

Breakfast: Lipotrim serving.

Lunch: Fish fillet (any type - cod, salmon etc), serving of potatoes ( 1 medium jacket or 6 new potatoes or a serving-spoon mash - no added fat) Yogurt ( low fat).

Diner: 4-6 ozs chicken (no skin), jacket potato, salad. Fruit (if appropriate) or low fat dessert.

Evening: Sandwich (no spread of any sort), consisting of: pickles, fat-free mayonnaise, salad/carrot, slice cold meat (low fat).

Snack 1 or 2 pieces of fruit (evening, if appropriate)




Sample 2

Breakfast: Lipotrim serving

Lunch: Sandwich (no spread) - any low fat filling, e.g. tuna. Bowl of salad. 2 pieces of fruit (if appropriate) or yoghurt.

Dinner: Spaghetti Bolognese, consisting of drained lean mince, low fat sauce, 4 ounces cooked spaghetti or rice, serving spoon of vegetables. Low fat dessert.

Snack or Evening: Tub of very low fat fromage frais, flavoured to suit with either slices of fruit or low fat jelly crystals for a sweet option or herbs and spices with added crunchy vegetable, for a savoury snack.
