Thanks everyone ...
What a day!!!! Glad that one is nearly over!!
Only just got home - to cut a very long story short I have spent the full evening with a tenant and the police ... recovery trucks .... insurance ... because she had her car broken into outside her flat!! They took all her stuff from the glove compartment including stuff for the kids she teaches (she's a primary school teacher)
She's only 21 and her parents are down south so had to help her sort everything out.
Freezing cold after 3 hours outside ... Can't wait for hot bath, my last shake and bed!!
I've done terrible on my water today - don't even think I have made 1lt. Had quiet a few black coffees to keep me going!!
I'll have to catch up with everyone's diaries tomorrow ... Night... Hope all is well ... Good luck for any WI's tomorrow!!

So I found this information about ketosis and foods that are ok for the low cal week, so thought I'd repost the info for anyone that might need to do 'low cal week' on the 4th week or plan on having some food over the Easter holidays etc :
" Safe Foods (No Carbs/Trace Carbs)
Beef, Steak, Hamburger, Prime Rib, Filet Mignon, Roast Beef, Chicken*, Duck,Any Fish*, Tuna*, Salmon*, Trout*, Halibut*, Lamb, Pork, Bacon, Ham, Eggs,Shrimp, Crab, Lobster, Butter, Oils (Olive Oil*, Flaxseed oil*, etc.), Mustard,Salt, Pepper, Soy Sauce, Tea, Coffee, Heavy Cream and Nutrasweet/Equal.
Minimal Carb Foods (Limited Quantities Only, Check Carb Content!)
Broccoli*, Spinach*, Lettuce*, Cabbage*, Bok Choy*, Kale*, Asparagus*,Mustard Greens*, Mushrooms*, Cucumbers*, Pickles*, Celery*, Green Beans*,Brussel Sprouts*, Cauliflower*, Artichokes*, Peppers* (Red, Green, Jalapeno,Habanero), Onions*, Sprouts (bean, alfalfa, etc.)*, Radicchio and endive, Herbs- parsley, cilantro, basil, rosemary, thyme etc, Radishes*, Sea Vegetables(Nori, etc)*, Jicama*, Avocado*, Asparagus*, Green Beans and Wax Beans*,Broccoli*, Summer Squash, Zuchinni*, Scallions or green onions*, BambooShoots*, Leeks*, Brussels Sprouts*, Snow Peas (pods)*, Tomatoes*, Eggplant*,Tomatillos*, Artichokes*, Fennel*, Okra*, Spaghetti Squash*, Celery Root(Celeriac)*, Turnip*, Water Chestnuts*, Pumpkin*, Nuts, Flaxseeds*, Cheeses,Salami, Pastrami, Hot Dogs, Sausages, Ribs (watch out for the sauce!), BuffaloWings, Liverwurst, Oysters, Abalone, Protein Powders, Sugar Free Jello, Salad Dressings(some), some Wines.
Higher Carb Foods (Very Limited Quantities!)
Grapefruit*, Lemons*, Limes*, Strawberries*, Olives*, Rasberries*,Blackberries*, Kiwis*, plums*, oranges*, pears*, pineapple*
Foods that are NOT appropriate.
Beer, Mixed drinks, Bread, Milk, Pasta, Grains, Cereal, Rice, Potatoes, Corn,Carrots, Peas, Candy, Cake, Cheesecake, biscuits, Donuts, Fruit Juices, HighCarb Fruits (Apricots, grapes, Bananas, Peaches, Nectarines, cherries,Pomegranates, Mangos, Figs, Dried Fruit, such as dates, raisins, driedapricots, and prunes etc.), Pastries, Non-Diet Soft Drinks, Rolls, Bagels,Popcorn, Battered Foods (Fried Chicken, etc.), Gravy, Honey, Sugar, chocolateand Corn Syrup.
Notes: Diet Soft Drinks, such as Diet zero Coke, Diet7-Up, and Diet zero Pepsi can usually be consumed in large quantities, but youhave to watch for citric acid, as the citric acid content in these drinks canthrow some people out of ketosis. Be sure to check in your individual case ifthis happens.
Hard liquor, such as scotch, vodka, etc canbe consumed because they have virtually no carbs. Wine actually makes a niceketogenic alcoholic drink, as most wines have only 1-6 grams of carbs perglass, the sweeter the wine, the more carbs. Beer is usually very high incarbs, having 10-15 grams per glass. Watch out though, when you're in ketosisyour blood sugar will be very low, and the alcohol will have a more pronouncedeffect."
Personally I am not sure about the alcohol, but I feel that if we are armed with facts of what wecan have, rather than can't all the time we may be wiser with our selections when we have to eat.... be it for low cal week for those that choose to do so, or if an occation is coming up where we have to eat!!

That's a good list I dont see turkey on the list but assume it's just the same as chicken so fine I know there will be stuff that next week that may throw me out of ketosis (matzo balls for example) but if I get back onto the plan on Wednesday I should be back in ketosis by next weekend.

Hi Alex, welcome. There's a whole diary section where most of us regulars document our journeys. There are all sorts there, from those nearly finished to those just starting out and it's quite inspirational. It's worth starting your own diary too, it's a place to keep note of what you've had and how you're doing and a great way to get support from the others doing the plan, everyone's really lovely.

Arrrhhh Thanks time to go!
I am feeling really good! i'm almost at the end of week 4 - this is the only type of diet where you can loose so much weight so quickly - almost a stone and a half in a month is so rewarding!!
I hope that your journey is going well. I'll try and find your diary.

I don't keep a diary anymore. Too much messing about diet wise and a bit ashamed and emvaressed so this time I decided to keep quiet and get on with it. Which is what i have done. Only my husband nknew for the first 4 weeks but then everyone cottoned on at once.... I like to think it was the obvious weight loss ha ha doubt that x
