That's it really. Today is day 1 and I feel I could do with a bit of moral support from other VLCDieters.
Cooking the DC's food is not fun. Grin

I think that's when I will struggle, I feel so Shitty when it's my TOTM. There is a list of foods that will keep me in ketosis so I will stock up just in case I feel the need to eat.

LardBean · 20/09/2012 20:05

Have you got ketone sticks? If so where did you get them Smile

Hi guys, same here that's why I was so dull yesterday cause of my TOTM, but somehow I manage to beat my chocolate cravings.

wannabefit · 20/09/2012 21:30

Hi lardbean, I don't have ketones sticks but you can buy them from Tesco's pharmacy.

LardBean · 20/09/2012 21:47

Thanks, I think I need to get some to keep an eye on how my evening meals (and cheating daytime nibbles) are affecting ketosis.

Hi lardbean, I think it's great idea.you should try them to keep u on right track.I m feeling great and stronger then ever. We r not allowed to eat carrots, so next time be careful :) but we can eat nuts.They don't effect ketosis.SOMETIME for a change not much though.So how u get along with ur exercise yesterday Grin I was really good yesterday but end up with banana.Afterward I felt really bad about it.

LardBean · 21/09/2012 09:26
