I truly think I will be able to lose the weight I have been carrying for over 7 years on this program and it is so exciting. I know the first 1-5 days are tough, but if you just stick at it no matter how crap you feel, it passes!! And when it does you dont feel hungry, you have energy and the pounds fall off so quickly compared to a normal diet.
On any other diet I never last very long as Im either hungry or I think I can have a little bit of something naughty but that tends too turn into a free for all!! Where on this plan, I dont want to allow myself to fall off as I know how horrible the first couple of days was and dont really want to go through that again and so I want to stay in ketosis... I know they say the maintaining will be hard, but Im hoping I will be ok, as when Im normally trying to lose weight I calorie count using MFP, and on the maintenance calorie amount I could happily live, having my controlled treats and exercising to make up for treats, but when I had to drop the calories to lose weight, thats when I would struggle, thus I have maintained the same 7lbs over the last seven years,, but Im 3 stone overweight, so I need to lose that and then go back to happily maintaining!! Im so excited I think I will actually achieve it this time...And I always thought that VLCD were a quick fix, possibly dangerous, blah blah, but now I can see how I can lose the weight quickly, yes maybe not the healthiest of ways, but its a short 12 weeks, then the rest of my life I can eat a healthy balanced diet full of fruit and veg etc,,, so Im willing to dedicate myself for the 12weeks to reach my goal, as in the longterm (the rest of my life) I will be a happier, healthier, lighter person!!! Woop Woop!!
