Here is my week 1, a week that saw a loss of 3.75lbs. (I was 11 stone 5.5 lbs at the start of this week). I also started going to the gym during this week.
I was taking Berocca during this time, which has artificial sweeteners - and have now stopped that. I was also eating Atkins Daybreak Bars, which I have also stopped - as they also contain all manner of artificial things. I was also including bacon and sausages (low carb), which I will not be including when we move into 'boot camp' phase.
I work from home, so it is somewhat easier for me to cook for myself during the day. Although I quite often am travelling to various meetings, and having to grab food on the go, this week was obviously one where I was home-based!
Hopefully this will show you that you can eat a good amount of tasty food!
