JUDDD 2.0 The Return

Well good news of sorts, curfew has been extended until 11pm, except Fridays which is still 7pm, things are going in the right direction at least.
 
Boooooooooooooooored with cooking every minute of every day for every meal, I can see how people get fed up with SW, it's prob alright if you nip down Asda and pick up a load of syn free stuff right enough, but my god I feel like I am either planning what to have, cooking it, eating it or bloody tidying up after it, laborious as counting calories may be, it might be kinder to my dishwasher !! Flippin heck, thank god hubster is eating at least the same in the evening as me otherwise I'd have thought I'd gone into the catering business

It's what put me off. I cook for 10 people and none of them will eat SW food and 2 eat different to the rest cos of intolerances so doing theirs then mine got very old very quickly.
 
You're a brave woman! I thought about doing slimming world, but couldn't face it without the supermarkets in the UK. It's great your hubby is eating the same meals though & you've done great getting the holiday weight off x

Yes when DH was low carb I always lost out s I did his dinner first and then some nights I'd actually forget to put anything on for myself!

I find I am thinking about food too much of the time, I can see how people fall into the pasta n sauce trap, its just easier and honestly I can't believe the amount of chopping that has to be done on a daily basis, I don't have time like that to waste for gods sake!
 
Its why i got bored with SW tbh. I always ended up doing the cooking and it was took at least an hour longer than the magazine said they would. I don't mind cooking from scratch but everything just seemed to take longer than it should have. I just longed to stick some frozen chips and fish fingers in the oven!

TBH it's just hacking me off, theres no doubt the plan works, but in all honesty I've got other things for doing right now, cooking 3 times a day and then dealing with his breakfast for tomorrow and his lunch is just not on, I agree with you on the cooking time as well, it's taking me about an hour to get dinner ready, before I could have it whipped up in 20-30 mins.

Also I find some days I'd be quite happy with something smaller than I end up having to prepare to stick to plan. I cook from scratch every night anyway, but usually breakfast/lunch tended to be something very quick.
 
It's a pity SW doesn't take account of the fact we aren't all domestic goddesses swanning around the kitchen all day and the line of least resistance gravitates to baked spuds or pasta and sauce.:rolleyes: Also all that focus on food is not good. I tend to eat more if I'm having to think about it all the time. I prefer to make something quick, take it out the kitchen and not go back. No fridge gazing while food is cooking, no rummaging through tins to "look at" biscuits, buns or whatever lurks in them, no eating kids food or stuff that "will go to waste if I don't have it," no picking the meat, vet or roast puds. I did all of that when doing SW. Now if its a fast day I don't eat. If it not I can. Simples :)
 
I hate to take anything away from any diet, because undoubtedly SW does work for some, but as we've said on here before I think if you were coming from a pie and chips background then it's definitely a big change, for me it isn't a change and no doubt all my chopping and changing of late has lead to some impact of my metabolism, but here we are again, 2 weeks into SW and a sts this week, I have been religious in my food diary recording and logged every single syn, perhaps even over estimating syns, a ton of super free food and nothing, nada, zilcho off the scales, it does make me wonder, however, I think it's a good way to take a break from dieting for me as such and has been a non gaining week at least so I'll take all the stabilisation I can get right now.

We are out tonight, some work get together, it will be nice to be out the house for a change. No idea if food is involved in it so making a shepherd pie that can keep until tomorrow if it's not required, good choice as I have overdone it on the jalapenos the last few days and my digestive tract needs to calm down a bit :D

So, back to JUDDD thoughts, research done and not just the positives of IF this time, a better all round view I suppose. I am still convinced that this is the way forward, I wish I hadn't wiped my old diary now as it was useful to look back on things, but memory serves that when I first started JUDDD I was using my VLCD packs for DD's, this is a significant thing for me as 4 S /S packs are approx 550 cals, totally acceptable and are nutritionally complete, this is the key for me, if nothing else my overall diet has actually improved immensely since moving to Egypt, I don't think I realised how carb laden and almost protein free many of my days were in Dubai especially, we ate out a lot there which we don't do here and weekends could be one takeaway after another, again not so much here, the odd Burger King but not every week for sure. I also realise that lack of protein on DD's can be counter productive and can totally make a connection between struggling on low protein DD's and not struggling with the VLCD packs, given my stress issues of late I just can't afford to ignore my nutrition 3 or 4 days of the week and assume that UD's will take care of it, I think thats how I ended up in the mess I did.

Unfortunately for hubster, being back on the carbs is not going that well either and he's decided to go gluten free for a while, bread is undoubtedly an issue for him, so big changes here in the house of LW LOL. I will be supportive as usual, and revert back to my low carb cooking style but he will be having good carbs, just G/F ones, fortunately most of my existing recipe repertoire is naturally gf anyway, I couldn't bear it if he went back to low carb, he was a total monster on that for about 3 years!

So long story short, packs ordered I think I've got about 7 weeks worth on the way, that's a good amount of time to see if the new plan works and takes me up until around the time we go to Abu Dhabi for a 4 day break mid October, looking forward to getting back to JUDDD and not having to cook 4 times a day!
 
SW was so slow for me and even following it to the letter I ended up stalling, gaining then I started JUDDD. I've lost more on JUDDD but I only did SW 3 months. I think the packs are key to success, by the sounds of it. Protein is filling and our bodies need it to repair cells. I used to have a shake at night on a DD and I think I should start that again. I end up feeling pretty bluergh by the 3 DD of the week. Good luck with the changes. xx
 
Oh I am definitely ready to get back to JUDDD, I just needed a little break I think, I have some packs leftover in the cupboard but not sure about having soup for breakfast LOL, still it's better than nothing!, DD's will be Sat/Mon/Wed, my usual routine as thats what works best for my week. Official sts this week, I did have 4 vodkas last night though, not that I think that was really going to prevent me from losing, I've been the same all week, I often find that when I don't have a bounce over the weekend, it means I don't have a loss in the week, it's a weird pattern but it's happened a few times over the last 33 weeks of tracking!

This week is a good week to start as Mr is working this Saturday so no temptation around, very much looking forward to being able to eat what I want on UD's it's a constant dilemma about SW that one, a lot of the time I end up eating more because it's free/ on plan, when all I wanted was a bit of toast and s/f jam and a low cal mocha. Also no counting vodka syns this week either, LOL
 
Redid my JUDDD numbers 1967/363, but I almost never get near 1967 on an UD unless there is junk involved, I will be closer to 550/1700 most of the time
