It is a little scary at the start but if you follow the 'rules' you will be ok. I have been ok on them but I have been careful with what I eat. Only had side effects once but I had eaten a Chinese takeaway so it was no great surprise!

Thanks guys, I think its def gonna work as I am soooo scared to eat anything!! today Ive had
weetabix and semi skimmed milk, banana and apple,
Grilled chicken salad with a piece of wholemeal bread and a muller light
Cottage pie with carrot and swede (mad with 200g xlean mince and beef oxo cube) and a muller light
does this sound right? Also can you have alpen lights
fry light (sparingly)
baked beans
and would roast chicken be ok without the skin? and cooked in nothing but its own juices?
Thanks so much for the hlp and sorry for all the questions xx

Sounds a good day
Some alpen lights are over The rules, I think someone said the apple and sultana is ok
Fry light is ok
Check the labels on the baked beans but should be fine
Roast chicken without skin should be fine too
Just watch portion sizes

I have eggs but tread carefully as doesn't agree with every one
thanks both, I will definately keep you posted, good and bad lol hopefully not too much of the bad :/ As for the gravy and eggs, thank god there is a little hope. Just hope these little blue things work as this is the last resort i think. Can I ask how long it took before you noticed any changes to suggest that theyve started working?

Within about 24 hours for me
well heres to day 2! Am a little more nervous about today as its more in my system AND I have work tonight which I am praying I am going to get through withouht any problems :/
For breakfast I had 30g rice krispies and milk with an apple, banana and a alpen light bar (the ones your allowed) and for lunch I am planning on having meatballs (200g e lean beef mince) with tomato and basil passata for a sauce served with spaghetti, with chuck a fruit salad in for dessert to get the fruit intake up, I think this sounds ok but if anyone wants to correct me feel free to do so!

glad to know that some people can have a few things that id struggle without long term.. just had my meatballs and spaghetti for lunch, was surprised to learn that spaghetti had fat in it... glad i checked first ;/ still no obvious signs that the pills have started to work yet..
