Louise Parker Method

[ElvenDreamer]

Hi, anyone following the Louise Parker Lean for Life method? I'm just starting (using her books) and could do with a group to swap thoughts with!

How are you doing?

Hi, good thanks, how about you? I've just started doing a sugar detox this week to really cleanse my system and get rid of the cravings, it's been pretty intense but I've stuck to it so far, it's a 4 week plan and by the time I hit week 4 it will pretty much look similar to the Lifestyle phase of the Lean for Life method so it seems a good fit for me.

Wow that sounds great! I am really moody this week and I guess it has to do with my sugar intake...I thougt about cutting it out for a time.
Sports and steps are good, sleep is quite nice. Food obession is still hig, sadly...

I was pretty moody on day 3 of no sugar I can assure you! The first 3 days were awful because they were so restrictive, (no dairy, grains, alcohol, fruit or even veg like peas that are higher in sugar.) Just completed day 5 (have been allowed oatcakes, 1 portion of dairy and a bit more beg since day 4) and I do feel much chirpier. I can definitely feel it doing me good. I just figured that until I got the sugar out of my system properly, my will power would just keep failing me. The hope is by the end of the 4 week programme I can have the odd piece of chocolate or whatever without then that immediately wanting more feeling.

I totally get you, which program do you use for it? Sounds interesting and reminds me a bit of the dukan diet principles.

I will prep this WE and do what I can - i am miles away from where i wanted to be on my holiday, but thats how it it now.
I miss LPM but on the other hand I just couldnt keep it up anymore. I still use the recipes from time to time

Take a look at this thread which is the other place I'm hanging out at the moment!

Hello everyone, I’ve been reading through this thread throughout the day while eating custard creams 🫢 and I’m very impressed with everyone’s progress. I’ve ordered the books but they aren’t arriving until the 3/4th May and after catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror of M and S while standing nexr to the summer clothes I think I need to start before then. Does anyone have any advice for starting or link to a quick description to get me through the first few day? Thank you .
