I have started LL this week and am on Day 3, all fine, no hunger pangs, no cravings, no headaches, it all all been relatively painless, with one TEENY TINY PROBLEM that I can't stand the packs. I am determined to do this and am currently approaching each meal like taking medicine, but I am worried if I can't find something I like that I may crash and burn.
So far, the vanilla is too sweet, I tried adding coffee and it was better but not something I want for every meal. Fruits of the Forest was OK, but not a fave, maybe once or twice a week, chocolate..... whoa what is that they are passing off as my favourite food, it tasted like dark chocolate, so next time I figured I would half and half chocolate and vanilla but while it was better it wasn't great. The bars are ok, but is it me or are they salty? The nut and toffee bars were nice, I could eat them no problem. I am mixing the shakes with cold water and blending them with Ice hoping to make them better. They are also massive and I always leave some, and I find that I struggle to have the 4th pack, as apart from the fact they are not nice I am full (I know it sounds weird, but I am).
Also, I am thinking I will have to try some of the savoury packs, I avoided this week as I have done the Cambridge Diet in the past and hated the savoury stuff, so I am going to get over these hang ups and hope LL is better. I am trying not to get too excited by the thought of Chilli or Shepherds Pie, what are they like? Do they actually have real meat in them? what is the consistency like? Do the soups taste like normal soup?
Any tips of flavours to try or things to do to improve them would be greatly appreciated.
Well done if you read through this epic post, I bored myself half way through with my waffle. (Dammit, now I am thinking of waffles and ice-cream, perhaps the cravings haven't quite gone yet)
