Ah don't worry, just trying to keep you upbeat so you don't cave. It's really hard getting into the right mindset at first, you question yourself and consider other diets that allow you to eat etc. Me and many others are proof that this works, I'm only 9 weeks in and 2 and a half stone gone already xx

Whatever it takes!
Looks fine to me, is prob say you could have had more, you're allowed up to 200g veg.
BUT (and I know you said you didn't have any) I would go and buy a set of food scales. Even electric ones are only about a tenner from argos, prob get them cheaper online. I only say this as from personal experience you cant ever really gauge, my portion sizes always seemed to get bigger the more hungry I was, lol. And since veg have carbs the last thing you want to do is knock yourself out of your hard earned ketosis.
What does anyone else think? x

Hiya,
Brill on scales, bets thing you can do!
Go to this section of sns site http://clients.slimandsave.co.uk, you can register and it has a diary and weight tracker with a list of all the allowed foods.
Meat is 100g but if you're having 4 packs then no meat, just veg. It'll give you indication of how much cals and carbs you're having so you can keep track that eay. Also, if you ever get really stuck sns have a chat function on their site during working hours and days snd you can always call them.
Id be careful with flavoured coffee, maybe has sugar or carbs added, check the allowed foods on the list, they don't even recommend you have coke zero as it contains citric acid!
Good luck hun, you have to find what works for you,. x

Shopping list looks good, dont know about ww sausages. Websitr is bsdicslly a data bsse for allowed foods so if your confused about what to have just start typing what you're thinking of and it will come up if you're allowed it.
I think you're not hungry as well hydrated and probably in ketosis, keep going hun, doing great! x

Veggies are fine hun, I'm not 100% on the BBQ fry light, but I honestly can't see why not. But it's up to you. You can put a request into SnS on their website asking if things are allowed like the fry light and flavoured coffee. (Flavoured coffee might have sugars).
Also bear in mind that what effects some people and knocks them out of ketosis doesn't do a thing to someone else! I can have gravy weirdly and stay in ketosis, but tomato ketchup throws me out. (- both not allowed on plan may I add! Just when I've done a sneaky!) Everyone is so different.
But yes defo to the veggies and peppermint/green tea.
When you use your scales you'll get a pretty happy shock I think from what 200g looks like. It's quite a lot!! Unless it's heavy veg like swede! Also it's the cooked weight you're allowed.
It's 100g of protein - cooked weight.
Roughly (and this is roughly not scientific at all, and dependant on different things like how it's actually cooked!!) things lose around 20% of their weight in cooking. Roughly!
So a raw piece of chicken/fish can be 125g and when it's cooked it'll be about 100g.
But please don't take that as gospel! And it isn't always the case, just a guide. I cooked a cod fillet and it shrivelled up to practically nothing. Was a sad dinner that day! Lol!! Xx
