Week 6 -2lbs
Now lost over a stone :) however I know my weightloss should be more than that and I know its because a haven't been managing all three cambridge diet packs in a day, so will be making a proper effort this next week, will have them all without fail.
LST - it might help if you dont binge and then write off the day if you know what I mean, its too easy to fall into the "I already messed up will just have some more" train of thought, one bag of crisps is less of a big deal than say 6 okay.
even if you cheat, always always drink enough water and have the right number of cambridge packs, its also worth having things, its not the end of the world if you eat available to you. put prawns, cooked chicken, cucumber stuff your allowed on 810 anyway in the fridge, if you can't help yourself snack on that. by having carbs you knock yourself out of ketosis and start carb cravings again, it makes it all much more difficult again and means you have more chance of a slip up ;) if you cheat by eating chicken or slices of ham that kind of thing, it probably won't knock you out of ketosis and thus adversly affect your weight loss.
If your actually feeling genuinly hungry you really needs to drink loads and loads, it really does help. maybe try splitting packs down so its feels like your having more. make the jelly, really handy as a pseudo-sugar fix, better for you to eat than biscuits or chocolate. The veg flavouring is so like a soup it makes a good subsitute meal, so I don't have to use a cambridge pack at lunch or can have one as pudding instead.
Remind yourself how much this diet costs, everytime you cheat your cheating yourself out of weightloss and more importantly wasting money on the diet.
If chewing the bars makes you miss food more, its probably worth ditching the bars altogether. on the other hand if you can't resist it would always be better to have an extra bar than a mars bar, and even with it being an extra pack it still won't knock you out of ketosis. the same goes for the flavourings if having extra means you drink enough water and don't cheat, its a minor addittion in the great scheme of things.
You'll get there, be strong, you've been doing so well so far, don't let minor setbacks make you give up altogether.
