I really like the sound of the skinny rules. I'm doing a VLCD just now but I'd be interested in starting it when I've lost another half stone. Could anyone very briefly tell me what types of foods it allows, is it mainly protein and veg? Thanks and congrats on your losses

Sliminthecity pop to page 7 at the top shazzabir posted a thumb nail of the rules,
my understanding is drink ( water) before you eat, and first thing on the morning when you get up then have your brekki within the hour.
1200 cals a day and the protein amount is based on how much you weigh. ( sure others can give the correct calculation here),
have some fruit & nuts ( not the chocolate bar ha ha) in the day( apple) .....
Ill let the others fill in the blanks I have missed as they have the book.

Yes basically all grains should be unrefined ie wholemeal pasta and bread, none after lunch though, and no white potato.
One splurge meal a week of whatever u like, eat apples and Berries (for fibre), consume 30-50g fibre a day, protein with every meal totalling half ur body weight in lbs x

What time are you guys calling lunch, is it when you have lunch, 12m, 1m or even as late as 2 m or your second meal in the day which could be any of those times?

Bob says I carbs after lunch in one place and then says after three in another. I think the idea is to have any carbs at breakfast and lunch and make your evening meal low carb. He says no calories after 8, but then explains re: shift workers - no calories 3 hours before going to bed. "go to bed a little hungry" - it boosts your metabolism.
