Might have to look ate these shakes/bars. I'm rubbish at having breakfast so these might be quite helpful thank you. xxx

Arent you depriving your body of essential nutrients from the milk if you make it with water? The difference from cals would be negligible really in comparison to the health benefits from the milk.

toofatkat - Milk does provide vitamins A, D, E, K, B1, B2, B6 and B12. Most of these you can get from other sources such as yoghurt (and the sun - vitamin D!) or in nuts and cereals. You don't need milk to get these vitamins. I am a bit of an anti-milk veteran though. Although I'm not vegan I still eat some dairy products such as eggs.

Also, its not recommended that you use meal replacement diets for longer than 3 weeks, so if you don't plan on getting your vits from anywhere else doing it for 3 weeks isn't going to hurt anyway.

Did you know we are the only animals that drink ANOTHER animals milk? Bit gross if you ask me lol

How you getting on Gemma? x

 

[faery_lights]

Going through some family stress yesterday and today so feeling the old tickling temptation to have some chocolate and 'make it all go away'. At work now so can't have any, just got to keep busy this evening and avoid places where I can buy some. That and I have a quarter of a watermelon at home which I need to eat!

So annoying!

 

[spudsnipes]

Faery the cravings will pass, keep at it lovely! I know what you mean though about stress just makes you want to eat choc lol but eventually you wont have this emotional trigger for chocolate or food. Keep it up xxx

I made it through! I had a piece of Watermelon after lunch and it cured my sugar craving. Followed by a big salad in the evening. Feel quite proud of myself for it
