Tried the macaroni cheese for the first time today.....very disappointed. Now i usually love cheese its my obsession but this was weird and smelled strange..

Love this thread! I didn't do much with my packs the first time around, so I'm looking forward to trying some of these. It will keep my family and friends off my case too as it seems more 'normal' . I'll add some pictures eventually.

Love this thread. Just had mushroom pasta with the 100g of chicken in it. Absolutely lovely and really thick and creamy. Next time will post photo.

Fab thread! Having done LL and Cambridge previously i was so glad to find S&S which gives you the opportunity to actually feel normal and have 'meals', looking at these pics is great inspiration

So I've been having three packets a day, then some chicken and veg for dinner, but today I'm using the chicken and
100g of mushies to bulk out my mushroom pasta. And it's lovely!! And only on my fourth day and I'm down 6 lbs!!!

Looks nice, I didn't think we were allowed cheese or tomato?

No, we're not.

 

[fizzyfluff]

Oh no, I thought cheese was okay as protein and toms okay as they were cooked so
It killed the citric acid?

What's the risk factor? Out of ketosis?

 

[BordersGirl]

Yes, and it's too many calories for a VLCD.

 

[fizzyfluff]

Thought calories were okay, mfp brought it up as 310

Well not if you consider that you're replacing a pack that would be around 130 calories. It's more like 2 packs worth. I've stepped up to 800 calories now but if you're properly on plan the daily calories should come in at about 550 - 650 calories per day so over 300 for 1 meal will put you over that once you add 3 packs on top.

 

[fizzyfluff]

My understanding was that research had shown there was little to no difference in vlcd at a level of 600 cals and vlcd at a level of 800

Mfp has me coming out at 719 for the day.

Slim and save say the 4packs will prob being around 550-650, plus recommend 100g of protein, of which is prob going to be an additional 100cals, and then the 200gs of veg

Not quite - 4 packs are 550-650 cals and 3 packs plus protein are 550-650 cals. 4 packs plus protein is only on the men's programme. I have also stepped up to 800 calories but the diet is for max 650 cals - you can have more if you choose to but it isn't on plan.
