What's all this talk about ketosis? Is this when your body starts burning your fat as a result of being on a VLCD? How long does it take to get into ketosis? How do you know if you're in it?

I am blonde for a reason...

Love Shoes xx

Also- sorry to be graphic- I've just had to drink Fybrogel- is this allowed?

All promise that we are going 100% on our respective plans for the next 5 days. I'll do an update each day so you will need to let me know you have completed your days sucessfully, (or not - but we aren't having not are we!) Then on Monday will post the grand final results.

Everyone's allowed Goldy, even if you can't or arn't CDing at the mo, you just need to stick to whatever plan you are on 100%.

ketosis is the fat burning as opposed to fuel (food) burning stage... can take 2-4 days to get into it... and you will feel full of energy, and might have horrible taste in your mouth.. but it's bearable!
You can get ketostix from the chemist which you pee on and they indicate if you're in ketosis or not.... but if you're good and stick to the plan then you will usually always be in ketosis....

Fybogel, kinda allowed, it has some citric acid in it due to flavouring, there are other fibre mixes which have not orange flavouring so better for the CD.... but it won't kill ya....

Nothing is too graphic for us!

Hi. I certainly am CDing - but as I have reached target I am on the 1000 plan leading up to maintenance. 2 CD shakes plus salad/veg and chicken/fish etc.

If we let you off today, you will carry on being bad. Best to start now, this instant.
If you promise to start from now, I'll let you have a completed day 1 happy clappy smilie tomorrow.

If not you will get an angry face grumbly unsmiley.

I know, and so should he after almost 20 years together :rolleyes:

I doubt he's done it consciously, but suddenly there are cornettos, snickers etc in the house.........or there were

I should have the strength to say no :mad:
