Morning all...hit a new low of 10.8, so am very happy with that! Also yesterday I went shopping and bought a new tunic that was a size 10...albeit a generous size 10 in stretch fabric...but even so!!!
Tried on a 14, then a 12, before checking out the 10 and that defo looked best! Have not bought anything less than a 14-16, or 16-18 for over 12 years!
Just wondering has anyone had anything odd happen since doing the VLCD? I am now prone to a mild cramping of my calves and toes, though only at night, or in early morning and it is very mild. I also had an itchy rash on the inner side of my legs, the same on both sides, nearly gone now.
I have been doing this for a total period of 8 weeks and lost nearly 2 stone in that time. I had 2 recent breaks from the VLCD for 3 1/2 days, then 1 1/2 days, where the weight fell off again pretty easily and it even seemed to fire up the weight loss more. What is odd for me is that the food I ate during these times was disappointing. Weird as previously, during any period of food deprivation, food would then taste like Manna, but it tasted a bit unexciting, apart from a bite of someone else's pizza and some liquorice allsorts! Maybe I was expecting too much? Maybe the appetite suppressing aspect of ketosis has affected my taste buds?
My stomach has shrunk, so I cannot eat a lot of food, without feeling uncomfortable. Need to plan this in more next time, so I feel more comfortable. Has anyone else had this experience??
