My diary to slimdom!

A nutritionalist on a vlcd? And why is it you need to lose weight? Just an observation x x

What's that supposed to mean? There's not really any need to have a dig all because I expressed a concern about what you were talking about doing.

Dig for a dig

Sorry didn't mean any harm in it, I just say things before thinking... You are correct in what you said I was just debating it against Cambridge as a mere observation x

 

[Caz]

I didn't have a dig at you though. I said what I said out of genuine concern as I've seen what doing what you suggested can do.

 

[slim_and_happy]

Wow. That's a bit harsh may I say. You don't know Caz's story so I think it's unfair to pass such judgements. We are all human beings and if your 'theory' made any sense whatsoever all doctors would be perfectly healthy, priests would never sin and hairdressers would have immaculate hair 24/7. So, to say that a nutritionist can't be overweight is frankly ridiculous. Also may I add ( as I study nutrition part time as well ) vlcd's are wildly recognised weight loss programs frequently used by qualified nutritionists on their patients/ clients.
Caz ( and myself ) were only trying to give you some feedback and advice. This is what this forum is about. There is no need to get defensive or feel the need justify your choices. Like you said you're a grown woman and you will do what feels right for you.
It doesn't harm to hear what others have to say or have experienced themselves though.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do

It stinks of fish when u first open it but if you rinse it loads and then mix if with one of your packs it really bulks it out n fills u up... For 14cals and no carbs it's a godsend! From holland and barrettes, £2.49 but with the penny sale at the moment u get another for 1p x[/QUOTE


So its js called slim rice rite.? No other name? Im gna try n see if can find our nearest holland n b coz cudnt find it other day at all yh cud do with bulkin packs lol xx

Well this morning I weigh 13 stone 13... 3/4 of a pound in 3 days!!!

I bought some ketostix from the chemist this morning, I don't know if im imagining it but the chemist was funny with me buying them, first she asked what I was buying them for so I said 'to see if I'm in ketosis' then she asked if they were for me and asked what my condition was and I said 'I'm on a low carb diet- no medical condition' she carried on with saying they are ment for diabetics etc so I said 'well, do I need a prescription 4 them' to which she obviously answered no to which I said 'well I'll have some then', giving a rather puzzled look!

Anyway after that weird experience I got home to discover.... Wait for it..... That I am NOT in ketosis what so ever!!! The only thing I can put it down to is having 2 bars? Or the skimmed milk? Or me just being a rather strange person who requires less carbs than most :-/

No wonder my weight isn't dropping off, last time I was ALWAYS in ketosis from day 4/5

So my plan of action is this:-

Black coffees
No coke zero!
No bars!
A shake at 12pm
A shake at 3.30pm
A 'meal' pack with 100g slim rice at 6pm
A shake at 9pm

8 pints of water (not sure what that converts to in litres)

I will trial it for a week and if I am still not in ketosis and my weight loss is next to nothing then I'm really going to have to consider my options

:-( not a happy bunny!

I paid just over £5 for 50... I have still been 'going to the toilet' daily so that isn't an contributing factor for me.

It is hard to stay positive isn't it especially seeing as my loss is only Probebly 1 pound due to the evening morning weight differences.

I have decided to make tomorrow like I an starting again by the plan of action I have just said.

Have you stuck to plan etc??

They are brand new, not cheap, scales which tally with the doctors :'-(

One thing if say about keto sticks is that just because they don't show pink doesn't mean you're not in ketosis. They're not always the only indication. The colour you see on them is often just a sign how hydrated you are or not. The bottom line is if you kept your carbs under 90g per day you WILL be in ketosis. Impossible not to! My ketostix hardly ever show pink and I'm still losing.
As for the pharmacy lady. Well. That's why I buy mine online
Have a good day!

Ah that may explain about the ketostix with it being the morning so won't be very well hydrated.

Oh are all chemist people funny about people buying ketostix? I wonder why that is :-/ can hardly overdose on them lol x
