Hi, I'm gonna start this vlcd on Tuesday as have only placed my order today. Looking forward to a fresh start after failing at my second go at Atkins. Think like a few others I've read about on here, I just need a break from food. So I'm gonna do weekly shop for kids online to deter temptation and give this my all. Fingers crossed x

Day 1 - waited for goodies to arrive so had first shake at approx 10.30am. It was a choc one and I was very impressed with the taste. Lunch was a banana bar, I sliced it up as I've read on some of your posts and it was ok, bit sawdust tasting but not inedible and quite filling. Dinner was a spaghetti bol. Chopped a few mushrooms and added them, it was nice think when I do shopping order I'll add some salad and that will make it into a good sized meal.
I also bought the water flavouring, found that a bit sweet tasting but helped me to drink 2 litres of water. Just gonna re-fill water bottle for the night. Hope everyone else is having a good day xx

Well done Stormy. The first few days are the hardest but if you can get through them it gets easier as the hunger subsides once you're in ketosis. Your losses will provide the motivation.

Good! I just keep thinking if I give in now I will be back at square one. So you have done 2 days if you cave you will be back at the very start and have to do it all over again.

Yes, definitely have an extra pack if you're struggling, especially when you're getting into ketosis as that's really hard. Once you're there it should be much easier but you need to tough it out for a few days.

Day out with the girlies today so tried to be on best behaviour food wise, had black coffee and two bottles of water instead of my usual mocha... Wasn't sooo bad !

Then plain chicken salad and slimline tonic water for lunch at the pub..

Then shopping for rest of the house and now home, fingers crossed that I've done ok.. Thinking I'll just have a shake later and that should be ok calories and carbs wise x

Spaghetti bol with 100g salad for lunch
Half shake hot mid afternoon
Cottage pie with 100g salad for dinner
Half shake frozen for later tonight in front of the tv
