Lous diary - onwards and inwards!

[Louise24]

Morning, yay to setting my alarm later as I don't need to allow time to make breakfast etc. I have my first shake at about 0830 at work. Feeling fine this morning.

Quick question - is the 100g of chicken raw weight or cooked weight? x

 

[Lou_G]

Cooked weight - well done on day 1

Here's to day two and yeay for a lil bit of extra sleep

That's a good positive to find! I sometimes have mine in the car on the way to work or when I first get to work before all the kids come in, I'm a teacher. Though often I try and put it off and have my first at lunch time, which is 12 for me. It's only a few hours later but it gives me an extra one to have in the evening, which is when I struggle more.

Everyone seems to say cooked weight but that really makes absolutely no sense to me. How are you meant to know how much raw chicken will be 100g cooked? You can't really work it out easily. Personally, I just go on raw weight if I'm cooking it. If I've bought cooked chicken then I'll have 100g of it. So really, I just have 100g regardless because let's face it, there's really very little difference! Unless you're buying pre-cooked chicken then judging the cooked weight before you've cooked it is far too complicated for my liking so I just stick with a simple 100g

Keep going. Sometimes I have to take the day hour by hour (well obviously!!) as some days are harder than others. I'm on day ten now and feeling hungry...well empty I suppose is better description. More water it is then!

Still staying strong?

 

[Louise24]

Yep yep yep... Decided to have a chilli meal pack with 200g of mushrooms... Is gorgeous!! X

 

[Bananas]

Stick with it, the early days are by far the hardest but it does get easier

 

[EximiusAstrum]

I loved the chilli with added mushrooms! I also love the curry pack - actually could eat that all the time.

Keep going and if hungry just have water, hopefully you'll be in ketosis soon.

 

[Louise24]

It was lovely and really filled me up!

Question... Is the below a meal or soup? X

 

[Caz]

It's a soup, there isn't a vegetable meal They're changing all the packaging soon, it'll be much easier to tell what's what!

It's amazing how much difference mushrooms make isn't it? I add the to the chilli, curry and spaghetti packs.

 

[Ruby Shoes]

doing well so far lou! i also love the meals - you really feel like youre getting proper food.
