Ketosis

[Zest for Life]

Hi all,
So is s&s a vlcd that puts you in ketosis or just a vlcd?
I've noticed the meals have pasta ?
Also are the meals like a proper meal, you don't add water or you do? Seems you can have alot in this diet, everyone seems to like the meals and shakes, almost sounds too good!?
Has anyone changed from cd?

Yes - it puts you into ketosis. Although some of the meals contain pasta there isn't a huge amount and the carbs are still kept low. The meals come in a pack - you add water and microwave or cook on the hob. The are a number of people on here who have moved over from CD. Personally I do LL and SnS and for the most part I prefer the SnS packs. The rate of weight loss is the same as other VLCDs.

A lot of people have changed from CD/LT/LL and Exante, and you can rest assured the losses are every bit as good

Girl please becareful if you get a drink from the cinema. I ordered a coke zero from the food stand this morning and it tasted a bit funny but put it down to the dilution as it from a mixer machine they give you. Only ordered a small one as well.

ITS KNOCKED ME OUT OF KETOSIS. Im ravenous!!!! Been so good and not given into temptation.... So upset actually crying! :cry:

Anywhere that has a mixer machine and that they serve you PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE be careful!!!!!!!

I kno its not an offically drink but been drinking it in the past and been fine!


I feel so upset and stupid now!! Justwas sick of water!!

If you don't mind me asking in really confused with ketotis. What is it and how can you snap out of it. I wiki it and it did not make sence to me. If someone can put it in a better way to explain.

Youre not necessarily out of ketosis, dont beat yourself up.

Ketosis doesnt mean youll never be hungry, if you look around the VLCD forums there are LOADS of posts from people who have been 100% and are hungry. It could be just one of those things. Youll probably find the coke zero was absolutely fine. The ingredients would be the same no matter what form its in. Its probably coincidence *HUGS* I had a day last week where I could have eaten my own arm I was so hungry but I hadnt deviated from the plan a bit.

Id put money on the fact you ARE still in ketosis and the hunger will be gone in nooo time

You are in ketosis when you are eating very few carbs and your body has used up the carb reserve it keeps in your liver. At that point your body will use fat for nearly all energy needs. Ketones are produced when the fat is used and excess ketones are excreted through urine and breath. Being in ketosis means that fat burns quickly (especially if you are on a VLCD when you only have around 600 calories) and your appetite is suppressed.

Oh - and you can come out of ketosis because you eat too many carbs or, for some people, if you have anything with citric acid in it.
