One meal is not going to set you back especially if you stick to calories. You MIGHT, POTENTIALLY, POSSIBLY get bloating from the additives or a reaction to the wheat but it won't cause fat gain. Essentially it is calories in v calories out. Eating healthy helps because you get more for your buck but if you can eat what…

Are you eating enough calories overall for the week? Say for example to lose XXX per week you should average out at 1200* calories per day. So if down day is 300 calories then up day should be 2100 (1200 + (1200 - 300)). I got obssessed with calories and my weight loss stalled. My theory is that for the VERY FIRST TIME in…

Doing good now. Was doing everything perfect but had a bit of stall on the scales (1 kilo lost in three weeks). Thought maybe for the first time EVER :happy: I was actually eating too little So gave myself a break from "dieting" for three days (didn't go crazy but certainly enjoyed) and I think the scales are actually…

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…

I have these too but for dinner AND if I have the calories I even sometimes add milk. Oh the luxury :-) Going to attempt my kiwi version of pumpkin soup with English ingredients this weekend. Will update on results.

My problem (and I why I have been overweight for most my life) is that I don't eat to satisfy hunger. I eat cause I'm bored, or watching the rugby or its raining or I'm sad or I'm happy. I am getting better but need to keep my focus which is why I'm back to counting on up days. Nothing to strict more (hopefully) a mental…

I'm still sticking with it. Five weeks in five kilos (approx 11 pounds) down. Woo hoo. I've been yo-yo-ing for the last year or so and not been able to stick to anything (no matter what motivation I had) but suddenly YES! Love this way of eating too. I make a big pot of chicken / vegetable soup for approx 140 cals per big…

Finally read about exercise calories in the alternate day diet. but it was only one paragraph. Apparently you should eat your exercise calories but he gave an example of someone only burning 100 calories. The way I see it if you need the calories on your down day use them or instead carry them over to your next up day. You…

I don't fast all day but do get hunger pangs :smile: I find herbal tea helps me a lot. My favourites are lemon and ginger or liquorice (particularly liquorice mmm). Get a sweet, spicy kick for only 1 calorie.

Hiya from London and kia ora from NZ I struggled the first few down days get the calories right but got there in the end. I still over-indulge on up days but am trying to focus on eating healthy food and avoid some of my bad habits (ie picking all the time). If I want a biscuit I have it but I make sure I am conscious of…

I split my 500 cals in (sort of) half. My usual day is - Breakfast - small glass of milk (to take with pill). Lunch - big bowl of soup (approx 200 - 250 cals) Dinner - Either porridge or baked beans. I've been doing this for three weeks now and am getting less and less hungry at dinner so may (when off anti-flams) try…
