I'm tempted to watch the BBC diet programme but might wait and watch them altogether. But if it says I have to eat a high protein diet forever I'll be rather depressed. I think that's the worry after doing this, the maintenance and being careful with food, I'm planning on switching to 5:2 and hoping that helps.
Your list of like and don't like food is a great idea, really makes me think of what I like and dislike. Not a fan of the tomato soup or Thai chicken or the pasta one eiather, the toffee shake I couldn't even finish. Tried the burgers last night, they were ok, still not sure. If I had to pick 5 favourites I think they'd be; banana shake, chocolate shake, chocolate bar, egg pack and sausage pack.
Hows your day going, are you still feeling niggly or has that passed?

Watched part 3 of the BBC programme tonight. I was fascinated with the speed of eating results...we all know that eating slowly is better, but it actually increases the amount of satiety hormone released, which I didn't know. I find eating slowly frustrating...I'm definitely a quick eater but I'm going to work on this!
I agree with the whole homeostasis issue...the body fights to maintain a status quo, at least until we reestablish a new status quo.
I'm interested in the breakfast thing...last time I did a vlcd, I ate my first "meal" as late as poss, usually lunchtime. I only lasted 10 days. This time I'm eating before 9am, and I'm feeling much better. I didn't expect that.

One more day and that'll be the longest I've stuck to a vlcd
Well done is not easy!!!
I couldn't believe they ate over 2kg off cake! That was more than 1lb each in cake. Plus the first slice! I must admit it looked good. I would have probably eaten that much on my own though he he he. Seems obsereard when its measured but at the time it just tastes good and would never believe it weighed that much.
Need to loose 6st to be healthy weight. Starting 05.01.15
Week 1 - 11lb
Week 2 -
Week 3 -
Week 4 -

Day going ok. My youngest is ill so got a phone call from school asking me to pick her up. So I've had a lovely relaxing afternoon on the sofa under a duvet (permanently cold!) watching films
But food wise I've been uncomfortable today...niggly feelings....and time going slowly! I miss eating! But none of these are good enough reasons to give up the day before weigh in, so onwards!

Another diet obsessed day has passed, another day where I seem to have lost the will to get stuff done...(didn't do the cleaning or marking I should have). Still, I need to remember this is short term...most things will wait.
Looks like no work tomorrow as my little one has a temperature :/

Thurs 15th Jan - day 14
This is the longest I've gone on a vlcd. And it's ok. Feeling blah today and lacking in energy towards the end of the day, but it's only short term...
Ex: 13300 steps
Water: 3 litres
B - 1/2 choc orange bar, coffee with splash of skimmed milk
S - 1/2 choc orange bar
L - 1/2 choc orange bar
S - 1/2 choc orange bar
T - carbonara
I don't think two bars did me any favours...I get more blah and more nibbly today. Back to one tomorrow...
