I everyone, I joined here a while ago when I started a VLCD but I only lasted 6 days!!
I've been trying to lose weight since I gave birth to my 4th baby (1st daughter!) in nov 2007
I've got about 4 stone to lose to get into the "healthy zone" and the docs prescribed me xenical.
I'm on my 2nd week and I'm starting to struggle! It's time of the month time and normally I gorge on dark Choc..
Also, I'm a vegan, have been for a year now I lost my initial 3 stone in that time just throughout diet changes!! I don't drink fizzy drinks, tea, coffee, anything with aspartame & sucrolose in so have a pretty healthy diet! only drink water and Fresh fruit juice (sometimes) and fruit/green teas!
But since I started taking xenical, weighing everything I eat and keeping within a 45g a day limit, I've really really noticed how I was over eating and not losing weight! I'm amazed at how much I was overeating!! My normal portion of rice was 5x the size that it is now!!
One of the things I am struggling with tho, is keeping within the 5g per 100g, so many of my fave foods like innocent veg pots and Jacobs sweet chilli crackers... They're so yummy... I have been eating them less often and only as snacks.. But they're my treats since giving up cheese, non vegan foods etc.... Lol
Can I ask what you guys eat for sweet treats when it's time of the month??
Bananas just aren't cutting it!!!!!!
