Thx mate x I got to admit I was stressing over it, but I have got myself into a routine now of no bread/no fat/ no sugar and no fatty or red meat.i do mix it up with me wholemeal pittas and me pic and mix slip
but on the whole no too bad.The gym is helping going 4 times a week at the mo but will be upping that soon as am starting to got to exercise classes (never had the balls to go before, felt to fat
). I'm booked in for keiser cycle and barbell pump classes so should be fun. I try and go gym in the morning about 6 am before work. This up's my metabolism for the rest of the day and helps me burn more calories.

Cheers babe, really startin to notice the effects of it now. Especially with the creatine. Muscle mass is showing though and fat is reducing. With the added effect that i'm burning lots of nasty calories.

Are you finding your weight is stable on refeed Cankster?
I am getting close (scary) to taking a leap into refeed - probably in the next 2 weeks - as I am a bit nervous about refeeding and then putting weight back on, I would be interested to hear what affect the "food" has had!?

It went wild at start but is stabilising now. However the amount of weight training and muscle building supplements I am taking will soon skew the figures
When I finished this diet I had lost a lot of muscle and my metabolism was fecked, less muscle = less cals needed = slower metabolism. So I resolved to pack as much muscle on as I could which would repair metabolism and tone me up, so far so good. Plus it gives me leeway on my diet as i'm burning so many calories.

We have to face up to the fact that we all lost some muscle on TFR and most of us came from not having that much lean muscle mass to start with. I've been reading up on this topic -the book 'Strong
Women Stay Slim' (sorry Cankster, I'm sure there are male equivalents!). So in addition to aerobics I'm starting to add in resistance/ weight training.
I don't know much about these protein supplements/ creatine. Do you use them in addition to your planned calorie intake or do you reduce your calorie intake to make allowance for the supplements?
