Lighterlife Lite views for a very desperate person please

[weasey]

Please could you let me know, what I could expect to eat/drink in the first week. Should I have a week of not socialising much?
And also what is meant by ketosis.
I can also suffer bad migraine from not eating sufficient ( I know I need to eat every 4-6 hours during the day). Would this cause a problem.
I believe I have to get permission from the doctors is that correct ?

Thanks once again ,

You will have 4 foodpacks a day and will drink water / fizzy water / black tea / black coffee / peppermint tea. No other food or drink. You can space them through the day so eating every 4-6 hours should be ok. The first week is tough as you are getting into ketosis. Ketosis means that your body depletes itself of much of its stored carbohydrate and by keeping carb intake quite low it goes into fat burning mode. Whilst in ketosis your appetite is suppressed. Getting into ketosis can be difficult for some people though.

You do need your doctor to fill out an initial forum and then to have your blood pressure checked every 4 weeks.

Hi, any advise about how I should be eating leading up yo Tuesday evening please. . .?

I read somewhere about not to have two many carbs. I have already started drinking black coffee,

 

[weasey]

Yep - cutting down on the carbs will make it easier to get into ketosis.

Hi Bradgirl,
I just wanted to reply to this as I have been doing LL Lite for 4 days today!!
First couple of days were tough whilst my body got used to the food but I can honestly say that now I am finding it OK.
Went out last night with friends, managed not to drink or eat anything bad, just enjoyed their company - they were more concerned about it than I was!

The Nut Fudge bars are SO nice, taste like snickers, and am really enjoying the chocolate shakes, porridge, and even the pasta carbonara despite what some people's comments had been!!
Best of luck for Tuesday. I have my first weigh in on Wednesday evening and cannot wait!
Can already feel the difference - seriously can even after 4 days!!!!

Good luck : ) xx

Hi nomoreyoyo,
Thanks for your reply and congratulations on your first 4 days. I am a little worried about lunch out with friends, but I think it will be doable .......... I hope, anyway.

Thanks for the hints on the food that I should be buying, I will make a note of that.

I am looking forward to Tuesday and hope to get the result from LL., over the next few months. I would like to be at least 10lbs or more, by end of July.

Good luck to you for your first WI Wednesday, it sounds like you are going to get the result you want and will keep an eye on your progress.


WE CAN DO THIS AND WE WILL. Bradgirl x

Hi again nomoreyoyo,

Forgot to ask are you in the ketosis zone yet, or is it to early to know that?

Hi again nomoreyoyo,

Hi, yes I'm pretty sure I am. Aside from the slight metal taste in my mouth (!!) I did suddenly stop feeling hungry and oddly the food packs started to taste a lot nicer too!

Good luck for today!

I tried to attend my regular exercise class last night (body sculpt) and found it quite tough! Had a couple of dizzy spells which I have read can happen. Might have to take it a bit easier!

Good luck again - ill let you know how I get on tomorrow - hopefully it will be great news and keep us going!!! Xx

I went along to my initial consultation this evening, jumped on the scales and was give a BMI of 30, which would mean I would be on LL Total.

When I had tested my BMI LL site, they advised me I was 29.76 - I know there isn't a lot in it., but at 29.76 I would be on the Lite Plan.

I am not due to start the plan until Tuesday week, as have to get the ok from the Doctors, as I have a 30 BMI, plus be with my group. I thought I would have started straight away, but can understand about getting the ok from the Doctors. Its more than any other diet that I have been on has asked from me.

When I asked the question re goal weight, it wasn't so much the desired weight, but the BMI I should be at, around 25. Yes I want to do this.


Looking forward to Tuesday 19th June already.

Hi,
Strangely enough, a similar thing happened to me. I was 29.7 on my initial consultation, by the time I got to the next week to start I was 30.1 (hen do before the first meeting!!) but she didn't seem to want to change me to total so I am on Lite.

Yeah I was really excited too and don't be disheartened if you find the first few days tough - it will become easier - for me after only three days!

Really excited about my weigh tonight!!!! Will update you all later!
