taking a break?

[WelshJojo]

I think I will leave it until the planned few days off in November for my birthday. I get measured for my wedding dress at the end of September don't want to risk not getting maximum weight loss before then have to be careful after the measuring though as they can only take the dress in by two sizes without ruining it and the dress doesn't arrive till 6 weeks before the wedding which means between the end of sept and mid-jan I can only lose what ever amount equals 2 dress sizes for me!

You still need to have your break after 12 weeks tho

But the 12 week break is just eating more protein etc you still have your packs, its not a week off the diet as such. Its not like a week off to fill your boots and eat out etc

The break is harder to define on S&S because a lot of people have food anyway its clearer on the other VLCDs. The other VLCDs insist on the Add A Meal Week basically because their customers are on shakes/soups so for the weeks break you have high protein etc, much like the 3 pack plan on S&S. Its designed to still be ketogenic and to have losses. Its not like a week off where you go back to normal food choices.

I wonder how necessary the break actually is on S&S if you were having the 3 packs plus protein every day...

Yep S&S recommend the 12 week break like Starlight has mentioned above. I think it's up to the individual whether they actually do it or not though.

I am having a weeks break after I complete my 12th week. I wont be on plan, but that's the choice I have made. I have booked days off and am going away to see a friend for a few days, so a break from my every day life too! lol. I have no idea whether I'll find it easy or not to get back on track and therefore I cannot sit here and say I will or I wont be able to because to be totally honest, I wont know until I am at that point. Obviously I do hope I'll find it easy! Once I am back on plan I wont be having another break for at least another 12 weeks... Whether that will be the type of break S&S recommend or another type of break I don't know yet, will see how I go and what have planned then.
