[kered]

Hi Hun, welcome to refeed, nice to have another one on board. Good luck and enjoy your shopping, I loved it last week.

 

[Yasmine]

I'll be making sure to check this thread. I need to get more ideas of what refeed is like and see how you're getting on

 

[LondonIrishOllie]

thanks all.. On train home now..

Being honest I'm very scared I won't like this food.. I'm gonna be going outside my comfort zone here with some of this stuff I used hate.. Hate most raw veg so this salad will be tough.. :-S

 

[kered]

Ollie, your tastebuds will have changed so much, I am trying so many new things now and loving everything.

Day 1:

Breakfast: 1 Female Choc LT Shake

Lunch: 1 Maintenance Bar (eaten in 1hr!)

Dinner: Had steamed chicken salt and pepper, 1/4 green pepper, 1/4 onion, 4 button mushrooms all steamed as well.. squeezed lemon juice over..

Boring and very small.. took bout 20 mins to eat and 4 hours later still full!

Drinks: usual 6 ltrs of water.. mixture of sparkling and still

 

[kered]

How did you enjoy eating today Ollie?

 

[LondonIrishOllie]

Hi Kered,

was so weird.. I enjoyed it but ate like 4 hours ago and still feel v full.. think I ate too little to be honest but tomorrows another day! new steamer works a charm too!

 

[kered]

Steaming is the way to go, I love everything steamed now. Steamer and George Forman. Yes I am finding since I have been eating, I stop just when I am getting full, but not full as I did previously, and after about another 20 minutes you feel really full up.

Looking at my scales this week, (always sneaky weigh) I dont think I have lost anything, but I think it may be the glycogen levels replenishing themselves, which will show a little gain, it was all explained to me by KD on the Calorie Counting forum. I will be happy with a STS this week, and then hopefully from next week I will see losses.

When are you going to Ireland?

Im looking forward to varying it a bit but u know what.. I used to feel physically sick if I came close to eating raw onions or even cooked onions that werent covered in some kinda sauce.. and the same for a lot of others.. cucumber I just couldnt, spinach never ever,,, even tuna wasnt my cup of tea! all now I love.. gonna try more different things next week..

Clarity.. omg! I used only be able to drink very milky tea... this stuff my friend drinks.. no milk and so tasty (Green and peppermint tea I got sick of very quickly and hate coffee)

Clarity tea, a zesty blend of ginger, lemongrass and gotu kola to bring a little zing to the mind

Clarity organic herbal tea with ginger, lemongrass & gotu kola to help focus the mind - Pukka Herbs

can get it delivered free on amazon.. just ordered!

 

[kered]

Oooh I might just order some of that myself, sounds lovely. Nice to have a change.

Agree with what you are saying about the foods you never used to like, I find everything is so tasty now, very pleasant and no need to add salt to everything like I used to do.
