Hello fellow lighterlifers,
I am going into week 11 of the programme tomorrow, however as I joined my group in week 3, the group is going into week 13, which as you will all know is meant to be a low calorie week (rather than VERY low cal) or otherwise known as 'milk week'.
So anyway, I was kinda umming and ahhing as to whether I was actually going to have milk this week as I have heard that it can kick you out of ketosis and some people even gain in this week!!
But I was very surprised today when our LLC said that we didn't actually have to do milk week!! I thought this was an official LL recommendation, you do a milk week every 12 weeks! So is this just my LLC saying it off the record... or are you actually allowed by LL to skip milk week?!
Personally I am not going to do it coz,
1. I havent lost as much weight as I wouldve liked to in foundation so far, so I definitely dont want to put any on!!
2. I think I would find the shakes too heavy and filling if made with milk... I struggle with them made with water at times!!
3. I would really love to have a proper cup of tea with milk... if I do milk week, I will feel completely justified in having it... BUT I don't want to get used to it and then find it hard to give it up come next week!! When I started LL in August it was warm enough that I didn't mind giving up tea but I think in this weather I would find it much harder!
Anyway, sorry for rambling on, but your thoughts and experiences of 'milk week' much appreciated!! xx
