OXO cubes

[Abigail23]

Hi all

I'm on Slim and Save - 4 shakes a day - and wonder if I'm allowed to drink half an OXO cube dissolved in hot water?? Surprisingly, considering what a sweet tooth I've got, I'm craving a savoury drink, maybe because of the lack of salt in my diet at the moment? I'm only on Day 3, and don't want to do anything to prevent me from going in to ketosis, so any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Abigail

No oxo cubes aren't advised. You can however have bullion powder

Oh, thanks Starlight. Not exactly sure what bullion powder is or where to get it but I'll check it out online. Many thanks.

SnS also sell a savoury drink now - just look under the water flavourings.

My vlcd has salt tablets and for people with very low blood pressure we take some more - so you maybe right that your body needs more salt.

Thanks all for your responses. Will check out the SnS savoury drink as that might be an option for me. Also, I'm trying to find the time to go through everyone's diaries as the weight loss you've all achieved is amazing and really spurs me on. I'm on day 6 now, and beside the surprising realisation that I'm craving a SAVOURY drink when I usually choose something sweet every opportunity I get, I'm also happy that I've found it a lot easier than I imagined I would. For the first few days I did have a LOT of tummy rumbling, and my tongue now has a horrible yellow coating and tastes disgusting regardless of how often I brush my teeth or how much water I drink. But ....... I don't care because I can feel I've lost weight and will continue regardless. I'm just so happy I live alone and am able to remove all temptation from around me. I just have to stay focused and to do that I'll read as many of your diaries as I can to give me inspiration! Can't wait to become the me I'm supposed to be......
