Hello,
I'm new to both Exante and the forum but wanted to try the diet after friends who've been on Lighter Life and Cambridge lost a lot of weight. I've been really unhappy with my weight/appearance for a while now (surprising how much self esteem is tied up in how we look) so was really looking forward to starting. I was hoping to dive straight into the Total Solution but found that hard, so have been having a salad and chicken or tuna most nights since I started last Tuesday. I weighed yesterday though, and I've only lost one pound.
I know I should feel happy that I've lost, but I'm gutted. I'm sure I'm in ketosis because I've had a horrible taste in my mouth (really metallic) since last Wednesday, so I don't know why I haven't lost more. I did have friends down on the weekend and so ate 'proper' food but the recipe I followed said each serving should have been 386 cals, and under the Working Solution you can have a meal of 400 cals. I don't know what's gone wrong.
Anyone have a similar experience or words of encouragement? I really feel like packing it in at the moment
