Frumpy Mummy to Yummy Mummy Diary

Safia, you can really spice up the soups with curry and chilli powder if you like things with a bit more flavour, or any of your favourite spices and herbs, I love the soups, but like my friend up there after doing Lipotrim, Exante is like gourmet food.

The bars are best kept in the freezer I find and then slice into small pieces, I can get through 2 pints of water and a coffee trying to get through the choc orange one!!

Hey lanarkwitch I did add some curry powder and chilli powder and than some more black pepper but still found it difficult to finish. Will eat the soup for lunch today as i dont want to go to bed feeling sick again. I didnt get any time in the morning to eat so had the raisin, toffee and nut bar which was bad but not as bad as the choc orange one! Gulped it down with some green tea and so far had 1.5 litres of water.

Dont feel really hungry today, also have cold hands and feet, i cant be in ketosis already can i especially as i had loads of carbs the day before i started. Have a bit of a headache but its disappearing after my green tea so it was probably because i had my green tea late today. Might pick up some of those ketosticks if i go towards the pharmacy today to see if i am in ketosis x

I so hate the soups so far! I had the mushroom one today and just found it way too creamy and didnt want to add anymore water as i really didnt want more to finish! Thankfully i chose to have the strawberry shake for dinner and it was yummy, i put 250ml water aswel as 4 icecubes in the blender. I think i will keep the shakes for the evening so that i will have something to look foward to. Today i hav also had 3 litres of water and 2 cups of tea and don't feel hungry, just miss food

Thankyou x i also have 3 children and this last pregnancy even though i only gained a few lbs i look massive and really honestly look like i am still carrying my son 11 weeks on! This fact alone will force me to carry on hopefully x

Starting the day off with the toffee, nut and raisin bar, its growing on me x got my green tea ready and had half a litre of water so far.

 

[Safia]

The hunger has hit me today so not yet in ketosis. I was fine all morning but around 4 i just felt hungry and even after my shake i still feel hungry. The only thing i can think of is that i did a very brisk walk to my daughters nursery so maybe i worked up a appetite!
I had the veg soup today for lunch and yes it was as bad as the others. I had thd banana shake which was yummy. Had my 3 litres of water and 2 cups of green tea. Going to drag my achy body to bed now x

 

[dawnybabes]

It does get better - honest, I started on Monday and Wed/Thursday I could have eaten anything, every time I heard my tummy rumble I drunk half a litre of water.


Today I've not been anywhere near as bad.

I loathed the tomato soup - I have to drink it down quick in one go and have a coffee at the side to take the taste away. The veg/mush/chicken soup I find OK.

I've had porridge today and was fantastic - I adored it


One step at a time - we will get there

 

[Safia]

Thanks dawnybabes i think i might have a coffee ready instead of green tea with my soups, i don't think i will ever like the soups x
This morning i woke up with a banging headache, don't know whether it was due to lack of sleep or carbs. So far had the choc orange bar and a green tea and downed just half a litre of water. Dont think i am in ketosis as i woke up hungry this morning but i think its near as my mouth tastes so coppery!
Got another incentive to carry on as i made hubby promise to take me shopping for some new asian outfits when i drop into the 13s so hopefully by summer. Also realised ramadan is starting in july so dont know how exante will fit into it as i wont be able to drink water during the day but never mind will deal with it when the time comes x

 

[dawnybabes]

Most people seem to get a headache, I wondered if it could be the amount of water I am drinking - I never drunk 3/4 litres a day before !!!

Yah to new clothes .....

Maybe because before exante i had difficulty finishing a litre never mind 3!
For lunch i had the thai chicken soup which as expected was yuck! Dont know how i'm going to finsh the 24 soups left!

 

[shini]

Might have to persuade my hubby to put them up as he has an ebay account already. I dont dare put more water in then usual as it means more to finish lol. I couldnt quite put my finger on why i didnt like the soups but i hav now realised its because they taste and smell like baby formula and some of the ingrediants are the same!

I hate the soups n SS shakes I find cd shakes r better good as exanate shakes, good luck Hun keep at it wen I told like some of the shakes o just gulp emm down all in one go lol! Better in than the bin lol x

 

[Safia]

Lol i think i will have to learn to gulp down some of the soups as i really hate to see waste and had a look on ebay and the soups arent selling alone!
Had the vanilla shake and found it nice but didnt enjoy it as much as the others as hubby made it for me and didnt put in enough ice! Had my 3 litres of water and 2 green teas and 1 cup of buillion as i was hungry and it took the edge off until my shake. Did have to dip a finger into the dhal curry i was cooking for my husband to taste the salt but didnt succumb into the temptation of dipping a spoon in and having a spoonful. I'm also proud of myself that i didnt eat any of my daughters left over chips, fish fingers and peas and believe it was so tempting but i just binned them x

 

[Safia]

Oh why does the hunger monster have to strike now. Im starving and the whole street can probably hear my tummy rumble! This is day 4 for me and day 1 and 2 were so easy but from yesterday i have been so hungry. I thought i would be in ketosis because my mouth has such a metallic taste and i feel so cold sometimes. Just gonna try and sleep it off x

How you feeling this morning ?

Hopefully the hunger has gone

I suck on an ice cube if really starving, you could always freeze some coke zero and have a lolly ?

 

[Safia]

Much better thanks x i think i was hungry because i needed some water but i stop drinking water at around 8 so that i dont spend all night running to the toilet.
Today my mouth feels like i have been sucking pennies so must be in ketosis and dont feel hungry so far.
Today i had the tom and basil soup in the morning to get it out of the way and just left it thick and gulped it down without tasting it! I've had 1 litre of water today and a cup of green tea x

 

[Lois]

Hiya Safia, stick at it. Once you've weighed and seen how fab this diet is you'll put up with it! :hug99: xx

 

[Safia]

Thanks gigglepants I'm getting there slowly x

Just had my last shake and waiting for my son to wake up for a feed so that i can sleep. Had 2.5 litres of water today couldnt manage the last half litre and 2 cups of green tea x

 

[Safia]

So far so good, had a soup in the morning with a green tea and 1.5 litres of water so far. Going to have a bar soon with some green tea.
Yesterday i noticed 2 things-
1. The top of my belly is a lot flatter, shame the bottom one hasnt followed so i still look pregnant.
2. My hair is falling out at an alarming rate which is ok aslong as i dont get any bald patches!
So all is good here x

 

[dawnybabes]

I just cant get on with green tea - is it nice cold ? Do you add sweeteners ?


I drink black coffee anyways so no change there - although missing my cup of tea at night ....
