mazzers, what blinking big eyes you have!! Freaky!! :rotfl::rotfl:

Btw could those pimply things be bites?? Seems to be lots of bugs & beasties around at the moment.

gaye/badger/'is nibs, sounds like a lovely day out - hope badger has no mishaps on the way home - don't forget the passport!!

focus, I try to get out for a walk or a short bike ride but not been for a while . Have been playing badminton in the garden today though, just trying to be active.

Certainly not.. My groin has been completely covered up during my ventures into the outside world, thank you very much

They are pimples, sore to touch, so obviously i keep poking at them :rolleyes: irresistible

focus, i should excercise, i even bought a cross trainer recently for this purpose, but i cant seem to get motivated, so the long winded answer is no :rolleyes:

Well, it's all good here. As I said, I was pretty tired/grotty yesterday but stuck to no-carbs anyway. I woke up this morning feeling very hungry, but not tired. Rather than eat, I just sat in front of the laptop for the first half of the day and didn't eat. No physical activity so it wasn't bad. I find a final period of total caloric restriction is a good way of completing the carb detox. Anyway... I finally ate at around 13:00 - meat, oil and veggies with a single slice of mango. I felt great afterwards, lots of energy. I just ate again 10 mins ago (a huge chicken salad) and I still feel great. Very few calories and no carbs - as a day should be. Mission complete.

The amount of time I sleep at night will now start to decrease and my energy levels will increase. And I will lose a load of fat.

At the risk of appearing pedantic, there are carbs in mango and salad

I agree that cutting out most carbs is good but it is important to get enough veg for vitamins etc.

hanspan - just realised so sorry but thank you for the spreadsheet - not going to pretend i understand it - but i like putting my weight in each day - well apart from today !!!

No problem - and you don't need to understand it as long as it works, I just hope it helps.

Anyone else want one? I really quite enjoyed setting them up (I am a sad c*w). Go one, if you hate it you can always just not use it, its free.

I feel like a bit of a pusher now

hey everyone, just curious, does everyone on here do any exercise?

Not a jot. I am a complete slug

I know I should do some, and have had several failed attempts at starting something new, but the truth is I really don't like it and am just too lazy so can always find an excuse not to!

Mind you thank you to Ted I don't feel quite so guilty having read all his links that say excercise doesn't help you lose weight just makes you hungry and eat more! And yes I know that doesn't mean I should refuse to move except when I absolutely have to

~daisy~_2

i exercise - quite a lot classes gym running
cant say it helps me lose weight - but i hate to think how huge id be if i didnt !! and it makes you feel good

Supposed to aid getting into ketosis. I've never really made it into ketosis before so hope this helps. It is a way to get fats into the diet if you have a problem doing that like I do.

I have found that I don't want to eat as much in total over the day. I've only started doing it from Saturday and so far only once a day.
