eating again..

[cammie girl]

Quick question. How much is needed to refeed temporarily. I'm going on holiday in 15 weeks. Can i do this right up to 1 week before and gradually introduce foods? Going to Cuba and plan to eat fairly healthily and to come back on after my holiday . Thanks !

Not sure - why not contact SnS about it? They will provide a personalised re-feeding plan.

I have to admit that I didn't refeed at all when I took my 2 breaks. I just stopped, had my breaks and restarted knowing that I was ultimately going to gain the coming out of ketosis weight almost immediately and was going straight back to S&S after my break. I will however refeed properly when I get towards goal. As Weasy says the best idea is to speak to S&S.

 

[cammie girl]

Thank you. I will do. I should expect to gain about 7-8 pounds coming out of ketosis right?

 

[BordersGirl]

I'd bank on about 7lbs gain from coming out of ketosis (that's what my gain was pretty much during the first week of a break anyway).

 

[cammie girl]

Cheers. That's what i thought. Cool. I'll know what to expect. I'll be back on it after my holiday

arent you supposed to have a break after 12 weeks anyway ?

 

[BordersGirl]

Yeah, I think the NICE guidelines say 12 weeks but if I was going on holiday in 15 weeks I'd probably hold out until then. My planned Easter break will be over the 12 weeks by a couple of weeks I think.

im having a planned weekend eri sat and sunday on my week 8,

and again on week 16

then again for my 2 week hols though it will be half a day on ss and a normal meal in the evening on week 24,

then its back to finish the job, though hopefully not too far to go by then

 

[Pheonix2010]

mind you its all irrelevant to me as Ive never made 4 weeks let alone 12 he he

 

[cammie girl]

lol..yeah I was thinking the same about it being just over the 12 weeks..I think I will slowly step up in the 2 weeks before I go.

Think mines about 8 weeks. Then again 12 weeks later for my weeks holiday in Greece. Not sure if I'll come off for my birthday in may yet haven't decided. These things are going to happen and I doubt there're very few that have done a vlcd without a break here and there
