    I had this HHHUUUGGGEEEE bender on the weekend (it was football grand final in Australia)... I'm talkin sausages, chicken nuggets, bread (omg, lots!) pizza, chicken, nachos, wedges, bottles of beer, bottles of wine,:drinker: a bender! ... I'm am really struggling with my DD today. I gained 4 pound over the course of 2 days but continued rotations as usual. Is it possible I have turned off my skinny gene thing-a-ma-jig? I'm guessing I ate and drank like, 6000 cal (I know, how embarrasing!:blushing: so is this why I am suffering?

    No embarrasment. This is the joy of this way of eating. You can have the occassional binge and then get back straight on the wagon. It will be harder cause your body is still remembering all the lovely comfort food you've put into it. BUT stick at it and soon the toxins (for want of a better word) will be out and you'll be glad to be feeling "clean" and healthy again.

    And well done the Storm (I'm assuming you're not a gasp, horror Bulldogs fan!).

    Hi everyone - am not new to mfp but am new to ADD - did it for two weeks after my holiday and lost 8lbs but unfortunately came off the diet whilst some relatives were stopping with us, couldnt fast and used it as an excuse to eat anything I wanted - paid for it big time and have put on the 8lbs I lost.
    But am now back on it since Tuesday - enjoyed lasagne today as it was an UD....I find not eating at all during the day on a DD then cooking a vegetable stir fry helps me - I like to eat food, cant do the shakes.

    Am hoping for some motivation and tips from you guys that have been doing it a while...how do you manage when you have a DD and you are at a social function or going to dinner with friends? Thats when I find it sooo difficult!

    Welcome sparkling!
    If there is a function you can change your rotation.My DD's are TUES/THURS/SUN - My UD's are MON/WED/SAT and Friday is a Mid day. So in between UD/DD (1200) calories. You can use this as a changeover. But a MD should never be before a DD.
    So for example, if I had something on on a sunday, My rotation would change to THU DD - FRI UD - SAT - DD SUN - UD MON - DD TUES - MD WED - UD .... And I'm back to my normal rotation! :drinker:

    Some people do UD/DD religiously, I just know the days I have chosen work for me every week (plus it helps to start the working week on an UD!) i know at some point I will have to change it up. Thats the beauty of it :wink:
    Some even keep both weekend days open. Find what works for you.
    Good luck this time around! :flowerforyou:

    Hello .I tend to just plan the week around a night out maybe have a mid day in between if needs be .I like to always have Monday as an Ud as i pop to town with my friend for lunch so tend to have Sunday as A dd .I had yesterday as an in between day and Friday was Ud as I went out for meal and drinks ,just tweak it and if yo need to have a double UD just cut down on your next Ud x
