Doing it for keeps now!!
Its 550 cals per day on 4 shakes as opposed to 415 on 3 shakes...so over a week if I average 4 shakes 4 days and 3 shakes 3 days its an extra 550 cals/week.
Well I'm so pleased with myself....I had a SS only day yesterday!! Woohoooo!!!
I had 2 cups of Bovril in the evening as a treat, but they have no carbs or cals, jsut salt so I need to up my water to compensate. But its a breakthrough at least!!

I don't think it makes much difference....
3 shakes = 415 cals x 7 = 2905 cals/week
4 shakes = 554 cals x 7 = 3878 cals/week
Then it depends on how many base calories you need per day - lets say 2000
2000 x 7 = 14000 cals/week needed.
Also 1lb of fat = 3300 cals
3 shakes a day the weekly difference =
14000-2905 = 11095 cals/3300 = 3.36lbs
4 shakes a day the weekly difference = 14000-3878 = 10122 cals/3300 = 3.06lbs
Thus:
3 shakes = 3.36lbs/week loss
4 shakes = 3.06lbs/week loss
Over the course of a month it would only amount to about a lb difference between the two.

Thanks for that Natalie
think i'm going to need to do this as I struggle , and maybe split the extra one up , see what happens .
I mean I am fed up with black coffee and maybe use the exta one sometimes as a drink hot ....
Keeping busy is the key .
How is your day going Natalie

Hiya!
Keeping busy is definitely the key, but at the same time doing what is right for you. I would rather lose the weight on 4 shakes and keep at it, than 3 shakes and break it. My CDC told me she had a client who kept to SS religiously BUT always had a handful of cashew nuts as her daily treat....it was the only way she could get through it. Me, I'll take Bovril as my treat if it gets me through it...don't mind if I don't lose that extra lb per week/month.
We'll do it hun, together we'll do it!!!!

Day 3 on SS for me...another successful day yesterday and only one bowl of bovril last night, but 3 shakes instead of 4.
Definitely in ketosis this morning...bright pink pee-stick...lol
I'm one shake down so far and need to start my water intake...
DH let slip last night he is taking me for lunch on Sunday for Valentine's. Not going to miss this opportunity for a quiet lunch with hubby....but have already told him, no wine and I stick to a no/low carb meal with NO dessert!!!!
I'm looking forward to this, so am promising myself to be very good for the rest of the week to allow myself this treat!! Fingers crossed I don't kick myself out of ketotis for too long because of it!!

Hi Natalie
Well done on K !
Sunday lunch should be nice . I guess just have a fun time and go with what ever you do .
so when the woman had nuts , did she still get a good loss , I can guess she did cos she would have stopped it .
Well for me had a long walk today and back on CD , thinking I so could of had lunch out as OH is off , but he said no , :-( as he said i'm not paying that cambridge diet out for you to do this .
Just asw ell I guess as i had two days out of the diet . and trying to loss what I lost which is 4 pounds so easy to gain .
So your down to one cup of brovil , yes your right if it takes a little longer its better than breaking it totaly .
how are you going today ?

Today is my big treat day...yes off CD for today totally, but have already factored it in and won't have another treat until my birthday in 4 weeks time....I'm allowing myself 1 treat day per month with no restrictions!
Seeing my CDC in another 2 weeks and hoping to have another 1/2 stone off in that time...giving me 1 stone off in 3 weeks which would be very cool!!!
Back on the regime again tomorrow without fail! had a gorgeous meal with hubby with wine and desserto) but as I knew it was coming up, I am NOT going to feel guilty about it...as long as tomorrow is back to basics again!
How's you hunnie? Did you get back onto CD again today?

hi Natalie ...
As long as its working well for you , good idea to have a day break a month ... For me Not back on CD , was thinking hard on it today but I know I have to do it as to much time is slipping away , so I guess another headache comes my way ...
I am having a Jacket pot for dinner ... but need to think hard I have really to march the 13th to make some head way yes less than a month ... maybe I could get a stone off ?

Hi girls I just read this post and thought you seemed very friendly. I started 810 on Sunday after having lost 2 stone last year then stupidly gaining it. i have a horrible headache and heartburn today but I guess that is normal. Last time I done 810 I still went into ketosis so maybe thats what is happening?

Hi Faith!! Nice to have you join my diary!!
Yes I've been suffering a little heartburn recently too...I'm flitting between SS and a wee bovril/mushroom/spinach soup some nights...still in ketosis however and hoping to stay there for the next 12 weeks.
I started CD last year too and went down to 12.5 stone and started this year again on 14st 11!!!!!!!
This time I am determined to get down to my goal weight before I start to reintroduce a lot of "real" food!
