Oooo, good luck. Hope you've done well. X
I am doing sole source - lemon yoghurt bar for brekky then a soup for lunch and dinner. The only thing I add is a little bit of hot sauce as I find that makes me drink it slower! And luckily water isn't a problem for me, I have a 2 litre bottle of sparkling water that gets me through the day, a coffee in the morning and a can with coke zero with dinner. It really is just the chewing but you're absolutely right it would be just like chewing gum, my belly would think it was getting fed! Can I ask how much you've lost so far? Like I said i'm not weighing myself but I do feel lighter, if that makes sense! x
Hello, Just been following this as I started last Wednesday - I lost two stone a few years ago but due to illness I ended up putting it all back on. I'm not weighing myself as it's something I tend to get obsessed about and I don't want to follow a number on the scales!! I have got a lot to lose and the only thing I find difficult is not being able to chew - has anyone here tried something like chewing a few bits of cucumber when the cravings get really bad? I'm considering trying it but I don't want to ruin the diet! Thanks
Well done you, fantastic result. X
I haven't had any alcohol yet, only some wine the other night together with a fridge raid! This is the most difficult bit for me as I am quite a social creature and I'm generally out with friends quite a bit. We're told that we can't have diet coke, pubs rarely serve anything else, so at the minute I'm completely abstaining and just having bottled sparkling water. Someone has told me though that if it's a life and death situation, one of the options is to have a flavoured vodka with soda, no fruit obviously. I understand that it's dangerous to drink when in ketosis though due to kidney damage so you must eat too. (Bonus!) I'm not saying it was recommended, just the lesser of two evils. I may try it on Saturday and see how I go. X
