Hi all - count me in, I have taken the plunge today and ordered the pig2twig diet book and cook book which should arrive on Wednesday and I thought at the end of the day even if for some reason this diet does not suit me at least it I will have something to read in the staff room at dinnertime.
I saw confessions of a shopaholic on the plant on Monday coming back from Turkey and I really enjoyed it and both my partner and myself were slightly tearful watching marley and me on the plane going out (how sad is that).

day 5-all is well so far, no headaches, its making me worry that bcos im not feeling the strain im not doing it right, but i didnt eat many sugary things before the diet started so maybe thats why??
just spending my time reading through the forum cos i really want some orange juice and trying to avoid it!!!

well i started the diet with a cold, shouldn't have really but i think my vitamins/supplements really helped and am much better now! infact, without carbs i feel better than ive ever felt. i used to graze all the time, just picking at food bcos i always felt hungry, not anymore, its really really wierd!!! I've not weighed yet, am going to wait until friday morning, exactly 1 week after starting....very excited, nervous also tho....
looking forward to a tasty omlette for tea, had a sausage casserole type thing for dinner so dont need massive amounts for tea.
Jim as i'm reading through the forum ive noticed you everywhere! you're like our own low carb guru! you seem to give everyone advice and help and support, its very kool am happy to have found this forum and the support its going to provide!
Also, just found out people eat pepperami and babybell cheese on low carb diets, is this ok??? if so i'm going to asda later so will buy some for a treat in the week

Hi everyone!
I've just come from a LL meeting and my counsellor has taken me off the programme as the soups shakes were making me ill but kindly she's letting me stay to the group sessions.
Anyway - I've been looking through this forum for aaaages trying to find a diet I might love and from reading all about IPD it sounds great so I've just ordered the books and hopefully will be joining you very soon!

p.s i'm very excited! yaaaaay!

ah right never mind then.
welcome lori, one piece of advice i give you is to read the book properly!!! word by word page by page! you'll be sooooo excited after reading it and it is sooo easy i have to say, i couldn't carry on LL either bcos the soups made me sick, i think i managed 3 days and i couldnt carry on anymore so gave in and gorged on a massive cookie, lol it was heaven! Even the thought of the smell of those awful soups makes me gag :-( urgh!
So an update on IPD, i'm on day 6, 3 sausages and a fried egg and tomato for breakfast, plus supplements, all was going well today, until i went to my house. I've been staying at my boyfriends and have felt absolutely fine, no hunger pangs at all, only slight cravings, no lethargy. However when i got home i sat on my couch and started to watch the project runway i'd recorded.
The spot where i was sitting is where i used to sit when i had my massive crisp binges, and where i'd just sit all day watching crap on tv. I swear as soon as i sat down i started feeling hungry, 10minutes after eating!
No NO, this isn't right, didn't feel like this at my bfs so why now!?
The previous night i discovered i could eat pepperami's and babybells so i bought a pack of each. Anyway i'm embarrassed to say this but i have to, i totally binged and didn't have any proper dinner, i just kept picking at these pepperamis and BBs, i had 3 pepperamis and 2 babybells, in like half an hour. So wierd. I have a feeling i'm emotionally attached to a particular eating routine i had at my house and thats why i started thinking i was hungry and why i was picking and not eating a proper dinner.
Ugh i can't believe i felt like that! Gonna have to train myself out of it. Also i felt completely devoid of energy, it took me 2 hours to decide whether i could be bothered or not to take my dog for a walk! But i went, so i guess thats a small part of the battle.
Anyway i'm working in the day 2moro and friday so will hopefully be able to control it.
The negative aside, no headaches yet thank god. The book says that by day 8 my body should be adjusted to the new way of eating and i should start feeling amazing, looking forward to it, lol.
The few physical things i've noticed are the back of my teeth feel a bit wierd, furry-like, when i rub my tongue on them, even after brushing!!
Also my thigh and arm muscles are aching, not exercised with them so no reason for them to ache, it feels like they're working overtime to just do normal things, wondering if its the diet causing this cos i've never had it before!?!?!
Right, after my giant post, i apologise first, but now i must sleep

Hi Shell, Totally understanding what you mean about reading the book!!! It arrived for me yesterday and I sat in the garden this morning and read it for 3 hours - i was so into it that i didn't notice my arms getting sunburned - d'oh! I'm just over halfway through so hopefully I'll get to grips with it and start Monday!
How is it going for you today???

My books arrived on Saturday and I am really enjoying reading them but I have not read much about 40 pages as I have been stuck at work, I am however determined to read them from start to finish without skipping straight to the diet, so I will be with you when I have finally had time to read them as I have another double shift again tomorrow.

Hi Jo, glad you got your books! I'm on day 3 now and really enjoying the meals I've cooked from the books, so tasty!
Hi Jim, thanks for being all supportive, from looking round the forum I can see your somewhat of a diet guru!
I wonder if you can help me with something, how relative are calories when you're in Ketosis??? I'm just wondering since being on LL was 500cals a day, compared to IPD where I'm not counting them at the moment? Obviously I'm assuming that the old balance still applies, but wondering if I should be counting? If you can point me to some advice(here or elsewhere) I'd be greatful!
