Day 3 - still feeling alright this morning. Loving my vanilla milkshake and porridge but finding the soups not so great! Does anyone use the savoury mix / marigold boullion? Got through day 2 pretty well, making sure i drank plenty of water only downfall to this is I spend half my day going to the loo!! I am off work today to spend some time with my best friend she is due her baby next weekend and she is feeling a bit fed up. Heading round to hers and taking a soup with me! Happy Monday Everyone xx

Hey Louise Im also on the many trips to the loo malarkey. If I remember correctly your body does adjust keep thinking of how much weight you're losing! Have a great day x

 

[Borris]

What's savoury mix Lou ? Good for you day three ! Whoop xxxx

 

[misslouise193]

orinoconomore - I have made an effort to finish my water at least an hour before I go to bed to stop me having to get up every night as that happened last time and my body got into the habit of waking up every night even if I didn't need the loo!

Day 3 - feeling really tired today, hopefully my energy burst will come soon. It might be in my mind but as well as feeling tired my body feels a little tired (does that make sense lol?) like when I was waiting on the checkout in tesco I was carrying a 12 pack of water and a tray and my arms felt really weak. Met my friend today and although she is pregnant she is still tiny. She really didn't appreciate this diet when I first told her about it but I took my books to her and spoke her through it and now she fully supports me which is a huge relief!! I would never have stopped due to her opinion but its important to me that she understands and wants me to do well.

Hey Matt,
Savoury mix is a hot drink, thats a bit like a cup a soup but much more watery. Last time I used Marigold Boullion as I read on a forum it was tastier and much cheaper but the exact same as LL savoury mix. I went and bought some today.
How was your first day at work on the diet??
xxxx

 

[Borris]

Hey work was fine but like you I'm exhausted today must be the ketosis setting in ! I may get some of that savoury mix you said - as long as it's ok to have ?

How have you been today ? X

 

[misslouise193]

I googled it and a post that BL put up about 3 years ago popped up!! Everyone seemed to think that it was ok - you can have two teaspoons a day. I also used to use it in the vegetable soup to give it a better flavour.

I have been alright today, just quite tired which meant I had no concentration on the conversation I was having with my friend.

[Borris]

You working tmw ? X

 

[misslouise193]

Yeh I am back at work tomorrow. I am hoping to feel a little less tired but will just continue drinking my water and take my bar for lunchtime xx

 

[LadyT]

I am the same with the water, it is seriously hard work to drink it, I cant touch it plain and swear by the st clement water flavouring! I usually have a pack then drink 1 litre and tell myslef I cant have another pack at 12 until that 1 litre has gone, if that make sense and it continues throughout the evening. Generally if I do that and have water flavouring i can manage 4 litres a day xxx

 

[misslouise193]

Day 4 - just had my first cranberry and raspberry bar mmmm mmmmm mmmmm. I am quite surprised by the fact that I haven't had any thoughts of cheating!! Last time by day 2 I think there was tears lol. I thought I'd die if I didn't eat! Funny what a difference a couple of years makes!

Xx

 

[Catthin]

[Orinoconomore]

Your head mist be in the right place!! Well done you MissL

 

[misslouise193]

Day 4 is nearly over, count down to weigh in from tomorrow. There was a set of scales in the toilets today and I was itching to jump on them but I think I'd rather wait and see after a full week. I don't want to get back to going on the scales first thing in the morning then last thing at night, as long as I follow the programme I will always lose weight!! night xx

 

[LadyT]

Step away from the scales lovely they can play havoc with your mind. Well done and keep it up xx

 

[misslouise193]

Day 5 - ooooooooooooooooooh my head hurts Taken pain killers all day but it won't shift. Definately not dehydration as I have drank loads of water today, its been my most impressive so far! hope everyone is having a great week xx

 

[Orinoconomore]

Nearly at weigh in you can do it !!

savoury broth is called swiss vegetable bouillon by marigold, green tub with orange lid, i get mine from holland and barrett. It is the same stuff, i checked the label out, it looks the same too its around £2-3 for 150g which makes 7.5 litres.
Max 2 cups per day, can help fend off hunger feelings, or for me water boredom!
