HI ANDY
i'm going to be starting wednesday , think there will be many more starting soon . Andy i'm sure your going to see some big weight loses . how is today going for you ?
 
hey all, things still going well, coming here and seeing all you guys having a go too and being here, its nice when I feel like Im struggling to pop on and see how you guys are doing. Had a grumbling tummy today, me thinks my tummy misses pizza :) Keep up the good work all :p
 
how much water are you drinking Andy ? That pizza is a mental thought only .... its strange how you really miss fast food and the smells drive you crazy but after some weeks on vlcd they don't taste as good as the thought :)
 
drinking so much water! its ok though as I always have :) got through some major cravings last night and am quite proud of myself today :D Oh and my breath has started to smell a little like cabbage....ketosis anyone??? :D :D
 
Welcome to the dog breath! Lovely isn't it! Lol! Well done on last night! ... I am going to have to stop drinking from about 7pm as I am up all night needing to use the bathroom! Very annoying! X
 
I know, the bathroom breaks are doing my head in just a tad! Having interesting cravings for toast and subway sandwich..........must be the carbs :p Keep strong all, being on here is really helping me to stay focused :D
 
Do you have the sticks to test Andy ? can get them in the chemist ... could be on its way K .
So your dealing with cravings ... was it other people in the house eayting or you just thinking about them ? fast food places are the worst craving the smell ... that will hit you more so now them smells ... breath them in but don't touch :)
 
Hi starting Lipotrim tomorrow as well. Can you take a appetite suppressant as well as the 3 TFR Shakes? mean 3 shakes a day doesn't that mean your are hungry though?
 
Of course you'll be hungry on just shakes ... And your hair will drop out ... And then you'll pile weight back on ... Seen it on a colleague .... Choose a diet that means real food ... Weight loss slower but you'll be healthy and it will stay off ...!!!!!

^ Or u can ignore the above waffle and listen to the people that actually follow these diets! If u go ramming in a bigmac of course u will pile weight on! It's about educating yourself! The hair effect is rare and only temporary and u WON'T be hungry on shakes once ketosis kicks in! U can be healthy on tfr, it provides every min and vit required for 100% gda!

The post above is not in keeping with the ethos of MiniMins as we respect other members right to choose what they feel suits them, we do not criticise other members diet or choices...we are here to give support.

The packs provide you with all your protein, vitamins and minerals to stay healthy.

Food replacement diets have been around for over 25 years and are one of the most researched diets on the market and are EU approved.


On a Food Replacement diet you will go into ketosis on the third or fourth day and you will find that hunger is greatly reduced and it makes the diet easy to do.


As for feeling hunger...some actually lose the feeling of hunger completely when in ketosis.

When you diet your hair goes into sleep mode very like when you are pregnant and then afterwards the dead hair falls out leaving behind new growth.

You can read more about it below...


Hair Loss! The science bit...
It's pretty common to lose hair when dieting. Here's why...

Each hair on your head grows for 4-5 years, then falls out. So your hair is always renewing itself. The long growth stage is called anagen and the short stopping phase that follows is called catagen. Then the hair falls out, which is telogen. The hair follicle then goes back into anagen and makes a long hair for the next 4-5 yaers.

What happens during weight loss is Telogen effluvium. It also happens after any stress to the body. Some of your hair follicles go into catagen to conserve body resources. So the hairs stop growing and "rest". Once your body feels safe again, those hairs go back into anagen - but because there was the pause in the middle, the brand new growing hair pushes the old hair out of the follicle. So in reality you have just as much hair as you did before - and it's probably far healthier hair. But the new hairs are short :)

Normally around 10% of your head of hair is in the catagen or telogen phase, in essence resetting itself to prepare for new hair to grow in. Because you have so much hair on your head, you don't even notice. During weight loss that percentage gets higher, but this is only temporary. Your body starts creating new hair in its normal cycle once it settles into a healthy weight and those hairs start growing again. Remember that hair doesn't reach a long state overnight! So all those new, healthy hairs need time to grow out to whatever length of hair you have chosen.

Usually it takes 6 months for your head of hair to have grown back out to typical fullness. Hair grows around 1/2" per month, so at the 6 month mark, the hair is around 3" long which is enough to seem thick on most heads. Again, it's not that the hair is MISSING during this intermediate time. It's just that it is brand new and growing from scratch.

As with any diet/weight loss eating plan if you go back to your old ways of eating you will regain your weight.
 
Absolutely no offence was intended .. I thought I was being helpful ... I'm sorry if I caused any upset ... I was just speaking like I would to any of my friends and colleagues etc and never gave the minimums ethos a thought ... I was speaking as I had a colleague that went through all of the above .... So again I'm sorry and will stick to my weight watchers forum :-(( good luck to all ... Losing weight is hard to do sometimes .. Taken 5months for me to lose 11lb
Happy New Year :)
