TOTM

[slimsarah]

Day 4 of TS, TOTM just made a surprise arrival almost a week early, could this have anything to do the diet?

Also is this likely to affect my loss the same as it would normally? I really hope not xx

Yep your TOTM coming early is most probably due to the diet.
Every time I have a proper re-start (so it's been a couple of times) I always without fail get my TOTM in the first week.
Apparently it has something to do with estrogen (sp?) being stored in fat cells and losing weight releasing them or something! Someone did explain it all to me once and I've forgotten.
You may find your periods go a little haywire on a VLCD or you may find (like I did) that they become regular.

Oh and whether it will affect your loss or not is anyones guess!
One time I didn't lose a single lb and another time I lost 13lb....both first weeks and on TOTM.

Thankyou bit of a shocker to see it there!

That will explain the moods, the spots, being irrational and emotional. Oh the joys of being female xxx

I remember being on total the last time and my periods were so strange!
i was on for 4 weeks straight! that was pretty pants but i still managed to loose!
i should be starting my packs this week (Tuesday hopefully) and im due on, we'll see what happens!

I think everyone is different with TOTM and it depends on your own body and how much water retention you get. I personally haven't seen any difference in my losses.

What is important to remember is that if it does slow your losses for a week, it is just water and you will likely see a good loss the following week.
