hi there
i add coffee to the choc and vanilla packs - with ice crushed they taste like frappes.
add tabasco to soups and black pepper

if there is just one you can have then stick with that - i know some people who have nothing but chocolate ones

I make vanilla hot - it completely changes the flavour or I mix half chocolate and half banana. My friend also hated all the packs she told herself that it was fuel and got it down as quickly as possible - Hope this helps. Yx

hot chocolate with the chocolate pack is my fave so far. I oddly like the mushroom soup with a little bit tabasco in.

Porridge and a bit of chocolate also good. Bit like chocolate ready brek.

Mixing the flavours is fun too -- Chocolate Strawberry, Strawberry Banana, Thai Veggie soup, Or Chicken Mushroom soup, etc.

You could try a Chocolate shake mixed, hot or cold with Peppermint tea....thats lush.

Play around, and hope you find something you like.

you should be able to do some swaps for the ones you really dont like. I found I needed 2 sweetners in choc and vanilla. I loved them hot with a spoon of coffee in. have a look at some of the recipe pages too (in sticky's)

1 choc pack + 1 vanilla pack + 2 pints of water + high-speed blending for 2 minutes = YUM!

I have that made from my last 2 packs every day, it makes up to almost 2.5 pints' worth of drink, the chocolate tastes sweeter and a lovely vanillary aftertaste too

I hate the soft chewy bars (lemon/toffee)

but if I cut into 8 pieces and microwave for 50 seconds (any more and they burn),
leave to cool slightly - and they turn into lovely crunchy biscuits which taste nothing like they do when chewy and soft

well done on the 9lbs. superb start.

no I have not had a biccy or wanted one either. I do not feel the need and I would not want to risk dropping out of ketosis for a few moments of snackage pleasure.

I am also incredibly tight fisted and spending £70 and not succeeding because of a hobnob seems like I would have wasted my money.

stick to it and you'll do well aI am sure.

So far I have found keeping busy as the best way to stop wanting to nibble. This week walking ahas done that for me.

Hi,

A biscuit will likely not affect the scales- however - it is s sign your head is winning.... And your head may mow tell you to have another, cause thatone didn;t hurt, and so on, etc....so best you stick to the plan for the best and lasting results.
