Hey guys

Am new to this. Been struggling with dieting on and of now. Can't seem to control the way I eat and what I eat. I work nights so I don't suppose that helps. Was wondering if I could have some advice.

Ok I'm male, I work nights, 4 on and 4 off. 8pm till 7am. I'm thinking about doing the s&s diet as I think it would suit me well as has meal options in it to.

Ideally I'd like to lose 2 and half stone. I was looking at everyone's blogs and you all have done amazing work. Im wondering starting to wonder if this any diets out there that will work with me.

Can I have as much veg with s&s? There's so many questions I don't even know where to begin. I ideally want to start this diet ASAP so your help is much appricated.

Many thanks

Rob

Hi Robj I'm new too, to both Slim & Save and minimins. There's plenty of advice on here I started reading the sticky's and it's put me in the right direction. No you're not allowed unlimited veg, try reading this, it may explain it more....http://www.slimandsave.co.uk/ebay/Full-VLCD-Program.pdf

Hey Paula

Thanks for a prompt reply :-D

Iv never done anything like this but I reckon s&s is for me. Do I order a months worth and risk it or trial pack? I notice a alot of people lose a hell of alot in the first week and then not so much in the weeks to come or does this depend on the person?

Thanks for getting back to me

Everyone's losses are different but males can potentially loose more and s&s recommend 5 packs a day.


1st few days are a struggle but as you can see by People's stories very worth it.

Best of luck in your journey and welcome

a stone a month is the normal average loss...

robj I've gone with the sample pack first and got quite a decent selection, however there was only 1 of each sample so it's left me kinda short for lunches as I only received two soups and wanted to use them at work as we don't have a microwave. The good thing is I can have a good try of all most of them and if I haven't eaten my hands of by the weekend, I plan on ordering a month pack. good luck matey

Hi Rob

Both my husband and I started today, we ordered the sample packs first to make sure we knew what we were letting ourselves in for. Day 1 is over and it wasn't as bad as I thought. The milk choc truffa bar is amazing.

Good Luck

Thanks guys. Defo Gunna give this a try. Will keep you all posted will order when pay day arrives at the end of the month. Is it good idea to do workouts like jogging for an hour a day ect? Or will my body be tired. Iv been looking over this group and it seems like such a great community. You all encourage each other
