LucySera said:What about just low-carbing until you get into ketosis (which allows you some more calorie leeway) and then switch over to S&S once ketosis has started? That's what I'm doing now just to save myself the initial struggle of headaches and hunger pangs.![]()
Lexie_dog said:Just focus on one day at a time. Some days especially leading up to ketosis I had to go a pack at a time. 'It's only 4 hours til i can eat again. 3 hours. 2 hours. 1 more hour'
My first couple of days were hard but you need to hang in and once you're past it, you're past it.
The time from here to next week is going to pass anyway, it's up to you if you spend that time losing weight or if you spend it de-railing and feeling rubbish and angry at yourself.
Hang in there, One pack at a time.
LucySera said:I've been having an omelette (generally with mushrooms, peppers and/or spinach) for breakfast, some kind of lean protein salad for lunch and some spiced lean turkey mince for dinner with low-carb veg. I have been varying it a bit though - for instance I had an Atkins bar for lunch yesterday which was rather lovely. It's only for a few days until you get into ketosis (which I appear to be today - yay!), and the good thing is that if you're struggling then a little bit of cheese or a pepperami won't be the end of the world haha. I'm not the first VLCD-er to do this I know, and although it's not nutritionally complete so shouldn't be kept up long term - for the few days it should take you to get into ketosis I'm sure it won't do any harm. Personally the transition into ketosis has been muuuch easier for me this way.
Haha - once I'm into ketosis I'll start using Slim and Save products and sticking to the 100% plan. Only a stone left to lose though so I'm hoping the journey won't be too long this timeGood luck with getting back on the wagon Sherri - just keep plugging away, once you're in ketosis you'll be having to remind yourself to even have all your packs
