Those are the exact same warnings that come with ketosis in the Cambridge VLCD. I followed that for 9 months years ago and never lost any extra hair, still have a full head of hair at 59 now. Only loss of teeth has been through a couple of motorcycle accidents plus a rip off dentist For the last time my job is sedentary,…

VLCD like Cambridge Diet is 800 calories per day in UK, don’t know if it differs where you are. I put all the info in to MFP like sedentary lifestyle and it quotes 1600, will 200 less hurt me more than 800 extra, I shouldn’t think so. If I do feel overtired and hungry after 4 weeks then I will look to change things, I’m…

As it goes the total amount of food that I consume in 4 or 5 small meals is just about the same regular food that I would eat in the 2 large meals. What is missing is all the rubbish snacks I consumed between those 2 meals and the rubbish includes chocolate, candies/sweets, potato chips & biscuits which probably did mount…

Thanks to everyone for your support and tips, I’ll try to take it all on board and I’m looking forward to this journey with your help friends, have a Happy New Year, cheers

I have kept a few things I like such as roast potatoes, granary multigrain bread, and will have the occasional treat like a couple of oven baked Lincolnshire bangers/sausages, Right now I’m trying to stick to around…

Thanks for your reply, tried a fruit smoothie with a couple of veg/salad added before, also chia seeds etc thrown in. This wasn’t too bad at all so hence the reason I said I will try to do this. I love fruit but just don’t buy it regularly enough. Already cut my calories by 40% so hopefully the results will slowly improve…

Another newbie, well 2nd attempt who needs some more motivation after only 4 days on this. Add me also, cheers

Hope I can join in too, just re-started on MFP and didn't want to wait till the 1st. In for the long haul to lose 85 pounds if I can manage it, so anybody who can add me as friend for that much needed support is most welcome, cheers!

Hi yarwell, My protein seems to come mainly from chicken breast fillet and the 200ml of milk I use with my tea, also a little protein from all bran, 1 jacket potato daily and 1 mini-packet of oat fiber crackers. Carbs wise I have cut out my wheat bread (just eat a handful of dry all-bran instead), I have the 1 potato,…

thanks chris1816 for your reply, From what I can see in my food diary, the fats are coming from the milk I add to tea and porridge oats, chicken breast fillet (no skin), and sometimes nibble on some oat fiber crackers if feeling hungry. I also take a Triple Omega 3-6-9 120mg supplement and with my porridge oats I add a…
