    i'll join in again, however im going on hols from the 6th to the 17th so really trying to maintain this month rather than lose
  • Hi. I'd like to join too for some inspiration from you guys.
    Need to do an up-to-date weigh-in and will post the figures later.
    Did a 7 day detox last month and lost lbs, so would like to do one again, but need to get all the ingredients in when I can get organised (and have the finances! Why is dieting so expensive when I actually get to eat less :mad:)?

    oooh, 7 day detox? Sounds interesting, any details you'd care to share? :A
  • Hi, newbeginnings.
    Its a soup diet, and there are some great recipes. The first 4 days are pretty basic and geared towards water loss (lots of celery and parsley), but there are some great breakfasts with poached fruit, soy yoghurt and nuts.
    After four days the soups get more interesting, ie. with beans, chillis, fish, chicken and so on.
    Didn't get hungry at all, but had some almonds/pecans in my bag for snacking just in case. :D
    The diet is in a book called The Big Healthy Soup Diet by Linda Lazarides.
    I will give you some of the recipes if you are interested, let me know.

    I lost 4kg in 7 days, but still need to go some to get to my ideal weight. :)
