I've just been reading somewhere over here about the "tolerated" foods (which I omitted to mention intentionally as most of them are totally livewithoutable... and since most of us are starting out, unnecessary in my humble opinion!!).
For someone who's been on the diet for six months odd - and I know some of those - "tolerated" foods can be a lifesaver when you're really at the end of your tether and about to crack...
But I personally don't see why at the outset one would seek to jeopardise a faster weight loss by adding in foods you've not had the chance to miss yet!
That's my take on it!
The French list of tolerated substances is herebelow. From Cruise phase only. Two maximum per day (if desperate) and only weight loss satisfactory.
1 fat free yoghurt with fruit pieces in
1 level tablespoon cornflour (20g maxi)
1 natural soya yoghurt
15cl soya milk
40g cancoillotte cheese < 7% (twice per week maxi)
1 tablespoon cream 3% maxi
1 teaspoon sugar free cocoa, maxi 11% fat
30g cheese less than 7% fat (dry weight)
3 drips of oil (for greasing pan)
3 tablespoons of white or red wine for cooking without lid on saucepan to allow the alcohol to evaporate
Merguez sausage (spicey arab beef sausage) - well cooked and well pricked with fork - 1 per day maxi
This list seems to grow regularly (see my comment elsewhere about official website "playing to the crowd". Given that tolerated foods aren't even mentioned in the book, I rest my case!)
Aside from the odd tablespoon of cornflour which can be very useful when baking something for a Sunday treat, I can honestly say never ever having used any of the others!

Physio? what's that for? (are you OK exercising as strenuously as you are?)

Were you heavier in April when your back was bad?
Agree re cigs!! Particularly now that you're into your exercise!
Huge handbag - I too have had to get rid of that (I suffer from arthrosis...). I now use a back pack to carry my kitchen sink to work and back daily!
Fit flops? what are they?

Life goes in back pack... and arms are free to swing...
Are you all deliberately ignoring my list of tolerated substances!

You'll do nicely Cheryl... On the FB page, I'm shocked at how people start and immediately set about figuring out how to bake all the cakes and breads they can (quite often using "illegal" ingredients!!)... I can't see the point either!!
But you shouldn't be doing PP when pregnant methinks?
