Thought it was about time I had a food diary and as I've nearly managed to loose 4 stone on red days, thought it might be useful to share ideas too. Will try and update daily

Gonna post pics of previous meals as I know a lot of people wonder what to eat on red days.

Wow that's amazing. My weight loss seems to be 1-2lbs a week at moment so have wondered if red days would speed it up maybe. Not in a super rush to lose but would like to be at target by June. Have got 2st to lose

Hi there! I don't seem to loose on ee or green, body can't handle the carbs unfortunately. I sometimes have a little, maybe as a hexb but mainly just have meat and veg in various ways!

Well I have looked at the future and if I lost 2lbs every week till June then I'd be at target I suppose I'm expecting 3-4lb loss every week which is silly and technically healthy weight loss is 1-2lbs a week

1-2lbs is definitely a healthy loss. On red I have had big losses in a week, up to 5lbs but it's often followed with a sts so evens out!

Yes see now that would be great but has you say, it evens out xx To be honest as long as I'm losing I'll be happy May do a few days on red so I can have extra HEX as that's what stumps me on EE sometimes the fact I can't have cereals then bread later lol xx

You can always have some carbs as hexb on red but I tend to use mine on cereal and bread/rolls x

Good luck, am here if you have any questions/need ideas

Thank you! Red days do take some getting used to but you'd be surprised with how much you get full without any carbs at all!
