I was the same hunny, and everytime i asked my cousin what its like she was so vague (she has done this diet sucsessfully before) Ill be honest - i found it a little hard, you will be hungry and probably be in a bad mood, but you are so lucky you have your hubby starting with you - you can support each other - not that im an expert, but if the last week has taught me anything heres my tips ....
1. drink ALL the time - water - hot, cold, fizzy, with ice ect.
2. If you can have your first shake as late as you can in the morning, this helps spread them out for the day
3. go to bed early - im most hungry at night so i try go to bed around 9ish
4. plan things to keep you busy, a long bath, a walk, nip to ikea ect
5. update your diary on here - its helped me through lots of iccy situations this past week
6. try all the flavours open to you, i made a mistake of not trying the soups and REGRET it now, flavours you dont fancy you may love and visaversa
Take care and let us know how you do Hope you do great xx

Hello, due to meet a consultant on Saturday in hope to start Monday after , I'm feeling the same il nervous but at same time I can't wait, I've been extra bad lately I keep thinking I will have this mc Donalds cos it's my last chance the list go on not good need to stop that! Anyway I been going through posts trying to get information, it's not going be easy but reading these posts are making me think about it and getting lots of tips. Can you have chewing gum? I have a problem I love coke the drink and I think this going to be hard not to drink as I get headaches anyone else find hard to just drink water?

 

[IWillBeAYummyMummy]

Good Luck girls!! I'm on day 12 and i've had one bad day but the rest were fine! I don't get hungry and according to my scales it might be a stone in 2 weeks Happy days!

You can't have gum but can have mouth spray - also peppermint tea is great for smelly breath when Ketosis kicks in!

And i HATE water, i am a Pepsi max lover! But i pushed myself. I add one teaspoon of berry water flavoring to a 2 liter bottle of sparkling water and once i have drunk that i allow myself one can of coke zero. It's working i'm not craving coke as much as i was! x

 

[slimming deb]

Oh that good to know I was told you not allowed coke at all ! I don't normally chew gum so that no problem. I drink any form of coke diet normal , Pepsi, coca cola ha ha I guess it's something I can discuss at my meeting if I had 1 a day I think it would satisfy me but going without all day I can feel the headache all ready . Thanks for the advice x

 

[IWillBeAYummyMummy]

Some CDC don't like you to have coke but IF you do, it should be coke zero so you don't come out of Ketosis. I'm pretty certain after 12 days of limiting myself i can now go a WHOLE day without coke which 2 weeks ago would have been a miracle x

 

[slimming deb]

I try my best to go cold turkey but if I can't then sneaking one can in wont hurt too much I guess. Have you had good losses every week ? X

 

[IWillBeAYummyMummy]

Only on day 12 but i did it 2 years ago and still drunk coke and lost 3 stone in 2 months x

 

[slimming deb]

Oh that would be great I weigh about 13.9 at moment so I'm hoping to go down to ten ish , I tried all sorts of diets before and I give in I think the temptation of being able to have treats on ww and sw made me crave more which is why I thought totally restricting the food to shakes etc was a good plan x

Hey Rashers,

I am also losing weight for fertility treatment. To me thats a massive motivation as I know I am the only one standing in my way really.

I'm sure you'll be fine and it's better if your partner is doing it too. Just keep thinking why you are choosing this diet and will any food temptation really be worth delaying your treatment.

Best of luck xxx

 

[Rashers33]

Hey chunkystreet,
Good luck to u too!! We will get there in the end!! Let me know how u r getting on!
