xxYes I did have my main meal last night at dinner time, sat round the table as a family and all had the same. Except I didn't have any potatos! It was great because my 2yr old ate her veggies because Mummy was eating hers, so double bonus for me last night!!
I've had a tuna salad for lunch too, I had 2 new potatos with mine today. I don't think it was enough but I didn't want to have to much before I got my scales so I can weigh them....so I thought too little is better than too much!

Eating meat
hi Jac and Lou,
I'm watching the refeeding threads with interest as I now believe I will get to goal. Nearly 50% of the way there. The difference between those of us who will maintain and those who won't is reintroducing food and establishing a happy and susatinable way of living and eating that keeps us at the weight we want to stay at.
In 2 stones< I move onto a small portion of lean protein (meat/chicken/fish/prawns/scallops) for the evening meal with the veg we are already allowed on Alizonne. It's one of the things I've appreciated about Alizonne that we have green salady stuff at lunchtime and veggies in the evening ( a limited list of 'free veg' and another list with 200g max total per day - very few root veg - only swedes and turnips!) with savoury sachets or a sweet sachet as 'pudding'. I'm told that we Alizonners continue loosing as we move onto real protein. The GP says that it's great training for maintaining as the portion size really matters. My realisation is that I have always eaten too large protein portions - not helped by having lots of business lunches & dinners in my last job.
I have liked continuing to sit down for meals - albeit eating different stuff from my DH, friends and family as the protein is a sachet that makes something that you can cook - 'ommlettes', something called potato pie - more like savory couscous and a sort of soft cheese that makes a creamy sauce for mushrooms (part of the 200g allowance) and various others. So I can imagine how fab it must be to sit down with your family again. I think you are heroic for having solely shakes for so long.
It's so exciting to me seeing how others refeed and when at goal maintain. It is so helpful hearing about your journeys. So thank you and have a great Easter.

I think that is the best way to approach it. Only buy what you need and make sure that if you want a treat you have to go out specially just to fetch it. I'm so lazy I'd never bother!
Good tip Loulou.

Reading these refeed posts is getting difficult. I'm still not really hungry but I really am getting cravings for the taste now. Reading that you had spaghetti bolognese Louloubelle has really made my mouth water. I don't know if it's because I'm closing in on my refeed now but the anticipation is unbelieveable.
There's one jealous man sitting here right now.
Both you and Jacsfat seem to be getting on really well with it and haven't just flipped and lost the plot. I hope you're both enjoying the refeed as much as I am reading about it.
