Yikes! I did have bad reflux last night - putting that down to the peppers as I know they bother a lot of people, but maybe it was the duck! Good/bad news is there’s some left over so I’m having it for lunch today and will see what happens..

Can I join pls? Day 2 2.5mg & just feeling my way with food! It seems there’s a huge difference between how much people can eat.

2 tbsp Greek yogurt, blue berries, seeds, granola

1/2 stuffed pepper- mince & little rice.
2 roses chocolates
½ pot protein yoghurt
loads of water
3 coffees

Welcome @cobblers00 . We are all on different strengths and at different stages so food will look different for everyone. I remember when I'm first started 8 months ago I could barely eat whereas now 8 months in although I'm on alot higher dose I can eat more than I did in the early days but I'm still losing around a pound a week which I'm happy with. I'm just over 3 stone down in 8 months with another 2-3 stone to go.

Here's yesterday's

Brunch...slice of sourdough toast with half an avocado, feta and chilli oil..I'm obsessed with chilli oil at the moment!

We then went out for the afternoon so when we're out I had a brown sugar bubble tea and shared a takeaway chicken chow mein with DH

B: protein yogurt with a kiwi and a plum

L: leftover stroganoff thing, cracker with cheese

D: shepherds pie, peas. Square of dark choc.

Hi @cobblers00! Everyone is different and on different doses/different points along the way etc. You’ll also find that effects change so whilst you may be able to put away a relatively decent amount of food one week (day!), it may all be different the following one!

Wk 76, day 4, 5mg (maint wk 26)
E: rest day
B: scrambled egg, feta, asparagus, smoked salmon, whole grain rye toast
L: burger and chips from the exceptional van at a local rugby club! An apple
D: cheddar, crackers, chilli jam, sweet chilli beetroot, an apple
S: apples, too many Celebrations🤦🏼‍♀️
Usual supplements, green tea, 3 litres of water, 2 glasses red wine

Have had about 7 hours sleep in the last 60 and a detox week is now needed before things REALLY step up in the run up to Christmas! 😂

Week 9, day 3, 2.5mg

B - Coffee with collagen protein
L - Scrambled egg and sweet potato
D - chicken and veggies soup

Week 5, on 2.5mg golden dose.

I usually eat a lot better in the evenings. Lots of plant protein.
