Have you had the chocolate brownies?
They are my downfall!!
They are delicious. Someone said heat them and put a little cream on it.
They never last long enough for me to heat them!

Hi Isabel
and welcome to the site and this thread. I am still learning everyday about food etc. I never knew there was soo much to know!
I have also had a great loss like you but still have someway to go before I reach target.
Geordie
My goal is my 40th in September so I know I will get there.
By the way I am the most fussy eater I know and I like the Go Lower food so I am sure you wil not have any problems with that at all.
Pit
Forget the chocolate brownies I am a total chocolate raspberry convert...... I didn't eat them to start with I just had chocolate brazil nuts as I didn't think I liked raspberries.
I actually ate the first one by mistake thinking it was a funny shaped brazil nut, WOW what a shock to my taste buds. I love them!

geordiegirl, Go Lower is brilliant. It's so easy to follow - you should just do it. Once you hit ketosis, you don't even feel hungry and you end up struggling to eat - you have to force yourself - a very strange sensation indeed when all I had done previously was binge!!!
Isabel B - welcome, you seem to be doing really well. Looking forward to some of your tips etc as you've been doing Go Lower longer than me...
Pit - the chocolate brownies - yum, but find I don't need cream, they are yummy all on their own!
Good luck
xx

thanks for the help so far ladies
well i've decided i am going to join the go lower program , i'm going to start on the 9th of april , purely cos the hubby goes away then for 2 weeks and i think it will make it easier to change if i dont have to cook for him , and if i get too tired i'll can just go to be early without worrying about him , hopefully by the time he comes home i will be over the worst
few question though , i understand you can have yoghurt on your breakfast , i love the greek yoghurt , does it have to be 0% fat or the regular 2%
how did you cope with the eating for boredom thing , thats my down fall , i eat when bored , angry , happy or upset , if fact any time except feeling hungry ...any help with this would be appreciated .thanks

Cool on your decision and your start time seems really sensible to me 
Yoghurt - I have the 2% as there is less carbs in and and the supermarket always has that one
Boredom - I go and get a hot chicken or chicken wings from Asda and have it with a green salad. I wont lie week 14 and you do get bored but, knowing you can have a 'different' meal without breakign your diet is great and then you can get back on again
You just need to get diet friendly things in the fridge for the boredom (prawns, chicken, cheese) but, you will find you dont want the food.
Any other questions just ask

Hi Geordie
hubby away for two weeks. I was over it in about two days...... Keotosis kicks in so quickly you struggle to eat enough. No boredom eating because you really don't want to eat.
Like you, any excuse and I would snack on rubbish. I would often not eat a meal in the evening and then once hubby was in bed I would eat crisps, biscuits or chocolate.
I love Sainsburys prawn cocktail, check out the carbs though as their Be Good To Yourself is higher in carbs than the cheap one!
Last night hubby prepared me a meal and I had about 6 prawns, some smoked salmon, a chicken drumstick, an egg, a babybel and one stick of celery. I struggled to finish it and after had a bit of a tummy ache because it was really too much for me.
Pitipe,
your fridge contents sounds similar to mine!

Hi Georgie Girl,
Im glad your giving it a go, its well worth it when all the weight drops off!
Have you already paid? If not mention the referral scheme they have started then you can get money off! I think all you have to do is say where you heard about the diet(minimins) and my name then we all save money.
I found the only way to stop eating when i get bored is to keep busy because i wasnt hungry when i started the diet its just getting out of the habbit of eating when bored.
Good luck

geordiegirl....
Sounds like a sensible plan to start when your OH is away. Will definitely make things easier not having to think about him.
As Suzy says, when Ketosis kicks in, the boredom eating things also goes away as you are soooo not hungry that the thought of food actually makes you feel ill!! Its really weird but I've always eaten, upset, happy, moody whatever - I've heard someone call it an emotional eater - well that WAS me - no longer thanks to Go Lower!
Good luck, keep motivated and keep loosing!

Isabel - I do believe you are right...it's not just changing what we eat and when we eat, it's about changing the way we think about food and food should not be eaten just because we are bored...we do need to change our habits - hobbies would have definitely stopped me from eating in the evenings....its food for thought!

Hi Geordie
we are all here to support you.
The day you want to start Go Lower is the day I come home from my holiday so my thoughts will be going out to you.
Happy and Isabel
I don't do the boredom or emotional eating at all any more since being on the diet. I didn't even need an excuse to snack I would just do it because I knew the food was there!

Hi Plumjuice,
Go Lower isn't cheap, but then they do provide all your food - you just top up with fruit and veg. The best advice I can give you is to give them a call on 0800 862 0099 for a chat or visit the website: Weight loss diet - Lose weight fast and enjoy real food on a ketogenic diet - Go Lower. They do different payment plans. If you mention me - hchappyh from this website, we will both get a discount (me on my next order and you on your 1st!) What have you go to loose, 'cept weight!
I'm really pleased with Go Lower so far. 8 weeks on the plan and have lost 2stone! What more can I say.
Good luck and keep loosing.

Starting today
Hello all
Started GoLower today, having signed up to 16 weeks (I thought if I didn't sign up and part with the money I'd be too tempted to give up)
Enjoyed the broccoli and blue cheese soup and the beef and thyme but having had an early dinner I think I'm going to struggle for the rest of this evening!
Good to hear how well its gone for those of you have been on this for longer

Hi,
I am starting at the end of the week, so i would be interested in your experiences, Liz. Not sure what the average weight loss is on this diet. I look forward to receiving my packs and seeing what portion size we are allowed. Are you allowed vegetables in the early phase. I read some of the posts and vegetables were mentioned. forgot to ask the person who talked me through it what the difference was between the fat burning detox phase and the steady weight loss phase.
Good luck and keep us informed!
