I'm not going to bang on about what I've eaten but I feel guilty having food despite sticking to plan! I made some sf jelly earlier and licked the fork. I got that little panicky feeling then realised that it was OK!

Its bound to b like that Lisa. I remember doing slimming world years ago and i lost 10lbs first week and 2-3 each week afterwards.....was crazy to think i was losing that and eating loads....i mean to the point of stuffing myself lol. Diets like that never work for me over a long period of time tho. But i get what u mean. Also being on VLCD and then being "allowed" to eat must feel strange!

 

[Lisaberry]

Stop making me so jealous!!!! Lol!
Can't wait to see how you get on!

I felt a bit like Nikki from Big Brother yesterday. Standing in the kitchen complaining 'it's too hard, it's too complicated' lol. I'm sure after a week or so of putting meals together it'll get easier!
Got a great app for my ipod yesterday that counts the carbs but I think it'll be harder when I'm at work tomorrow. I'll have to spend some of today planning what I can prepare and take with me.

Which app is it? I've got my fitness pal which seems quite good and even recognises wii exercises!

 

[Dietkitty]

It's called carb master. The icon even tells you your total so far! I need to fill it in as I go along and make sure I weigh things rather than guess.
Did a bit better today, only 7g so hopefully I'm getting my head around it.

 

[Lisaberry]

Wow, you're allowed up to 20 right?
Looking forward to seeing your first weigh in, I bet you do really well!

 

[Dietkitty]

Yes its 20 on induction. Not sure how well I'll do, as a scale-aholic I weighed first thing on day 2 and had gained 2.5lbs! But day 3 shows 1.5lb of that off. I'm going to try really hard not to weigh until the end of the first week.
I keep finding myself popping back here as I miss you all x

I started out on Atkins and just wanted to say that you really should be getting more carbs from veg. Mind you I know Jim on the Atkins forum will make sure you know that anyway, lol.

[Dietkitty]

Yeah I wouldn't want to get struck by Jims veg stick lol so if it's green and a veg I eat it!

 

[Yambabe]

All the best with your changeover, I suspect that being you whatever eating plan you use to take you to maintenance you will make a success of it.

Hope your Atkins journey is going well so far! Just checking in to say hi and wish you well. I did Atkins a few years ago, well, best part of ten years ago now I guess (yikes, time flies!), and lost three stone. Can't fault it. Eating food can feel weird, but we've all got to get used to it again eventually
