Lisa's refeed diary

[LisaLisa]

ooookkkkkk today is my last full day on lipo b4 refeeding, this was my second time on lipo - i didnt refeed properly in nov last year and within 5 months i gained 2 st. My weigh in is tomorrow morning and i will probably still have 7lbs or so to go to my goal weight, but the chemist said to only do it for a month then strict refeeding for as long as i can. I plan on doing refeed for 2 weeks then add a low fat brekkie into the mix to replace the shakes but keep with the same amount of food as is stated on the refeed sheet.

tomorrows plan is:

brekkie - strawberry lipo shake
lunch - chocolate lipo shake
dinner - tin of tuna in brine with salad [i hate lettuce soo it will consist of;] 4 cherry tomatos, and inch of cucumber [chopped], 1 spring onion [sliced], 1/4 red pepper [sliced], 4 raw mushrooms [sliced], small handful of beansprouts, 2 and a half pickled onions and 1 tablespoon of balsmic vinegar


two litres of water
one cup of tea with 10mls skimmed milk

roll on tomorrow!!!!

Hi Lisa, welcome to refeed hun and good luck.
Having been here before, you will know where you have gone wrong in the past and hopefully have learned some valuable lessons from there, which is always a bonus, as you will know its a scary time the first time on refeed.

Good luck hun, you can do it and keep it off.
