I am fast approaching milk week (next week) and whilst a few weeks ago I was really looking forward to it, I am not so positive anymore now, probably not helped by a really slow weightloss of a measly pound this week, and the fact that it is done virtually at the end of Foundation, where I feel every pound lost counts.
Now my LLC has urged us (as she obviously has to to comply with the new rules) to go ahead with the milk week, and look at the bigger picture rather than the one week where we might not lose anything. Is anyone here due to do the milk week soon and if, what are you going to do about it, also has anyone done it recently and how has it affected your weight loss. I know that quite a few in my class are planning on not doing it.
I was thinking of adapting it a bit to suit my needs (haven't mentioned this to LLC yet). As I understand the whole idea is to push your daily calorie intake over 1000kcals, but LL advises that regardless of whether you "only" have four shakes a day or three shakes and a bar, you should aim for 500kcal worth of milk. Now what I am thinking of doing (as I always have 1 bar a day) is to calculate the total calories I take in (I think with the nutcrunch and three shakes it's about 790kcal or about 690 with any other bar) and make the shortfall to 1000kcal (about 210 or 310) up with milk, so that I will just get over the 1000kcal. Has anyone done this, or is this a complete daft idea??
I was really hoping to reach/get close to losing 4 stones by the end of Foundation, and this seems to get somehow in the way of that, especially after not losing much this week...
