I would really love to be able to have stir fry veg and salmon but its not allow is it. Do you really think it will do me much damage?

No, it's not on the list. Probably because it is an oily fish. But I was on another vlcd, W8, and I think they allowed it. It is protein, and the fish oils are healthy ones. I'd say have it instead of tuna. No I don't think it will greatly affect your weight loss.

 

My CDC says it's fine to have salmon on SS+

I have about 150 grams, so slightly less that the normal fish allowance.

No sorry it's not "allowed" until 1000cal plan, as too oily.

 

Would it kick you out of ketosis?

 

No it wouldn't as its pure protein.

 

In that case...I might get some at the weekend. I love salmon.

 

Check the pack, im sure its got twice as many calories as the same amount of tuna.

 

That true about the calorie content as when you're doing SS+ you're only allowed 200cals.

 

It won't kick you out of ketosis but does have more cals in. As a VLCD is a very low calorie diet, if you start upping the cals then you obviously risk slowing your losses. But you'll stay in ketosis and will continue fat-burning, so it's swings and roundabouts really. It's got to be your call although the official CD line is "no", and it's best to stick to the plan 100% if you can!

I agree with Wannabe, it's the calories that are of primary importance, otherwise we'd all be on Atkins xx
