I know it can't add calories.. guess someone who didn't know what they were talking about tried badly to explain it to me lol. I'm taking this all with a pinch of salt :)

Thanks, I know it can't add calories but I didn't understand why someone told me it creates more sugar.. surely sugar content can't be altered in a food.. that was my confusion. Thanks for clearing up!

Yes I just googled and found a found an article on raw vs cooked. It just mentions that it removes some of the qualities of the vitamins etc that are in the foods. So maybe it's a syn as your not getting the full goodness from it?

Maybe SW are just trying to put us off juicing as like they say we can consume more but then that's a contradiction as al fruit is free anyway.. oh idk.. I might just continue with the smoothies

That's exactly what I said!!

Lol sorry! :)

yea they said if you juice it you should count it as syns as you likely to have more and the way it breaks down the sugar means it's worse for you. They also said that cooked fruit would be the same. I said but if I eat 1 banana, 1 apple and 4 strawberries or juice 1 banana, 1 apple and 4 strawberries the fruit will have…

Thanks! Any more?

Yum thanks!

Thanks :) I would like to eventually move my work out to the mornings and just have more protein rich meals. I never had this when I wolfed out at the gym but I only worked out for 45 mins where this is an hours work out. And maybe as I'm larger it's burning more?

That's handy :)

Yes I can raise it. I actually kept it on the lowest setting to start off with. I stepped for 30 minutes and still lost another 1lb the next day. I now plan to do this every day if I can't walk.

Fab idea! Might start doing a Sunday cook and store them in airtight containers ready for the rest of the week for lunches!

Thanks Jo! Am making a list for the supermarket as we speak.. When you cook these how long do you keep them in the fridge before you NEED to eat them. I'm wondering if i can be lazy and cook a batch every few days.. I would love a bowl of veg for lunch every day!

You are a bread junkie! like me! I managed to cut down my bread in take by buying the cheapest nastiest bread i could find.. Stopped eating so much then.

Do you have your Broc & cauli raw? FODMAPs are short chain carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed in the small intestine (and give me grief lol)

He didn't just put a camera down my throat i was under supervision for god knows how long and also seeing a dietician.. it doesn't matter.. i know there is no clear cut way of "yes your metabolism is slow" etc however as he is my doctor i take his advice (and the dietician's advice) as sound advice!

Thanks that's really helpful. This is one of the articles i read; http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/diet/grapefruit_diet.htm

Thanks! :)

Interesting! I ate clean for a while and lifted big but lost my way for a while sounds like i defo need to get back into it!

it was a strong theory after having a camera down my throat into my stomach after a fast! not pleasant! I love lifting heavy! need to get back into it

Pink Grapefruit is nice.. red grapefruit is the best!

This is fantastic advice!!! I am currently using this diet as a "tool" to kick start my healthy eating/weight loss as i've been struggling for a while. I know once I get in the zone i will be back to eating healthy again and this diet will get me back into eating high protein with salad and low carb (which works for me). I…

defo agree! Myth or not??

My cat does exactly the same.. Something about stairs and chasing tails?!

Well done! I injured myself when I first started running by not wearing the appropriate footwear lol! Thanks for your advice

That's great thanks for this

Thanks this is really helpful

I've done couch 2 5k how often should he train? 3 times a week? Or 4?

Well done Rich!! (for anyone who reads this I don't want a lecture I am sensible with my diet and eat when I'm hungry I do not starve myself and I exercise regularly) I'm just really interested what people ate on their diet days, how easy they found this and also if they say results
