    Do you mean Success Express where you use superspeed food on two thirds of your plate? Here's the official explanation:-

    SUCCESS EXPRESS

    That's the one - thank you! You can do it on a day-by-day basis can't you? I won't manage it on work days (oh the joys of an NHS-worker's grab-and-go lunches).

    Thanks Shelley3774...I've been very impressed with the EE plan.I've done S/W a few times before and haven't lost weight so quickly before and it's so easy I barely have to think about it.

    Bit late posting this week, have had a toothache!!!
    Along with all the other drama's of the week I'm back to feeling at square one.
    Last week I did SE and lost 2 1/2 lbs, this week I ate ice cream once and gained 1lb.
    I'm away this weekend for a week and will completly fall off the diet, I know this because we only have 2 restaurants and one corner shop open in the village.
    So basically I'll have to eat what I can get hold of.
    Had a good night Monday at class, we had a tasting session and I took along my new 'Actifry' the chips went down very well. After went back to someones house for Paella, all free on Green, but not the 2 glasses of wine I had with it! Still was my first wine since last summer.
    I'll try to log on next week to see how you are all doing, that's if anyone has bothered to open the internet shop in village, which I doubt.
    Good luck and good losses
    LL
    We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars........................

    thank you so much for your replies - can I just check that if I am doing EE days I would have 3 of each HE? (I stupidly left the booklet at class tonight form my consultant so am a bit clueless on the breast feeding side of it) I have emailed my own consultant but she is still at the class :rotfl:

    oh and thanks for your encouragement :D
    bjb

    Since you'd be having just one of each HE on the EE plan, you'd be having 5 HEs altogether whilst breast-feeding your 7 week old baby, at least 3 of which should be from the A lists.

    Gosh I seem to have made this sound very difficult - hope it's looks easier from where you're standing, lol.

    Mina - you can do any plan in any order.....ie. day 1 red, day 2 green, day 3 EE, day 4 Mix2Max, day 5 SE.
    HTH
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!
  • Yes, on top of the normal 3/4 you have anyway, but do try to have at least 2 from the A list...so you'd be having 4 As and 4 Bs over all.

    As Food Optimising is a very healthy way to eat and you would be having even more calories, I don't see that even a breast-feeding counsellor would look on this as a 'diet', so don't worry bjb., your baby will do well on this and so will you :)

    In general of course, I agree or I wouldn't be here, but I imagine you are getting paid to promote this eating strategy, and so I thought an independent voice would be useful.

    Great news that the babe is doing well though, hey.

    God bless you, Mum, Babe and consultant.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x
  • Oh no!!

    I've just realised you only have 1 A & 1 B on an EE day! Ooops, I have only done a couple of days of this this week but its my 2nd week & I really want to do well!

    Just been through my food diary & rejigged things & syned th extra & im still ok but hope it hasnt actually made a different, lost 4 & half in my 1st week & wanted another good week to keep my motivation up!!

    Gutted!!

    Don't worry Kate...you should still have a good weight loss this week as like you say you've sinned the rest and haven't gone over.

    She's not getting paid to share her knowledge on here!!! She's a valued member of this thread and I and many other members would say the same as she has said!

    If you want an independant voice, I will retype everything consultant has said!
