Sole Source Plus 2nd week
- Thread starter LillyLulu
- Start date
Hi hun, I haven't personally, no. My advice would be to have protein. Chicken is great as it's pretty much zero carbs and should take the edge off. It does for me anyway
Be careful with anything with added salt/salt as it'll encourage your body to retain water.
If I'm honest, on days where I am ABSOLUTELY starving then I'll eat as much protein as I fancy and it doesn't seem to have made a big impact - all of my gains have been following planned breaks from the plan...
That said, it's up to you how you manage your plan and your hunger...
I've hit ketosis again now and am 'in the zone' so in a few days I'm more than firmly in it and can relax, the more/longer you are on plan for, the more confident in your decisions you'll become.
Good luck with your journey!

I used to use vegetable oxo - it helped and did not hinder my losses. Cambridge sell a vegetable drink powder. Or you can use tried and true Marigold Bouillion. Available in regular or reduced salt versions, I understand, from your local supermarket! That is officially allowed.
If you get desperate to actually nibble then yes, definitely, make it lean protein.

I've had the nibbles and on two evening resorted to having 2 bars... however, this has slowed my weight loss in the second week :sigh:

Exactly yes because of the extra carbs. Lean protein shouldn't have that effect - and you should stay in ketosis, too. Mind you, the quantity of lean protein has to be fairly small.
Even so an extra bar is a hundred times better than a carb binge! Well done x

Your Cambridge Consultant should be able to supply you with a replacement book. Free of charge, hopefully!
There might be detailed guidance on the Cambridge Weight Plan site - dunno. I think it's two tablespoonsful of broccoli (for example) and a piece of lean chicken breast or white fish - something like that - for the SS+ evening meal.
Stick to protein if you really must nibble. That's what makes the difference. Extra carbs will definitely slow you but for sure one extra pack or bar is far better than a big hunk of cake or a binge, any day!
