Weight loss slowing

[suzyqirnbru]

Hi everyone was wondering with me not being in ketosis and still starving i am 100% apart from 2 days in the last 19 days when I had a couple of pieces of chicken and a slice of edam cheese, are my losses going to slow right down, i am not burning fat not sure to be honest SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard :cry:

How are you not in ketosis? Did you eat recently? Otherwise i cant see any reason for not being in ketosis, if you're getting that from a ketostix then please ignore it. Just go by how you feel.

 

[huwiesmummy]

There must be a reason. Are you eating bars or porridge? If you sensitive to carbs they can keep you out of ketosis. What fluids are you drinking? And loser is right ignore ketosticks they are useless.

 

[suzyqirnbru]

hey thanks for info i am having bars and porridge

 

[huwiesmummy]

Both? Wow LOL that may be your problem. Try doing one or the other for a few days and see if it helps. Exante really should put out more information about this.

 

[suzyqirnbru]

oh right it didnt say you couldnt have both i only have porridge and bars cause i cant stomach the soups or shakes im raging at that cause i have just bought another months supply of both of these

 

[huwiesmummy]

Oh dear. Um ok try I don't have porridge so I'm not sure what the carb content is. On the bars its quite high so thus you can have no more then 1 a day. If you want tell me the carb content on porridge and I may have a better idea of what you can do

 

[suzyqirnbru]

17g carb

 

[huwiesmummy]

Ok so you would be fine with 2 porridge and a bar technically. Have you been having more then a bar a day? Maybe try a day of only porridge? The shakes are 19g of carb so technically carb wise you should be ok. As long as you only have a bar a day.

If you don't have 2 bars a day we need to look at what your doing outside of the packs. Ie fluids!

What makes you so convinced you're not in ketosis?

 

[suzyqirnbru]

cause i am starving and everyone talks about feeling fab and full of energy and not being hungry im just not there yet :cry:I am keeping going cause i have been doing great its just me being a pain moan over

You can still be in ketosis and have spells of being hungry. Definitely hang in there x

 

[Pinkie :)]

T'is true... Ketosis or not, I'm always hungry... Same as some people find it hard to even have 3 packs a day, and they have to force them down. Wow, I wish!! I am always counting the hours till I can have my next one... It's just how I'm built.

These VLCD's work so well though, to shift the weight, that's enough to keep me focused, even though I'm hungry... (which is probably more emotional hunger and boredom anyway tbh!)

Xx

I think sometimes the hunger is habit too. I can't wait for my next meal either but know its in my head. I try and drink more water.

Hi my advice would be to hang in there!! although i was in ketosis, for the first 2 1/2 weeks on Exante i was extremely hungry and lethargic. i didnt have the energy that everyone talks about but as i approached my 3rd week i was feeling great. i am now able to go to exercise classes (whereas i was in bed by 8.30pm most nights a couple of weeks ago!!!)and dont feel hungry mostof the time. Hope the same happens to you soon xx
