Both minims and cambridgedieters.com are excellent forums. Very different from each other, but both full of good advice.

I tend to use minimins more as there are more maintainers on there along with those doing CD. I also like the variety of the posts The cambridge one is much smaller and so more intimate. It's easier to get to know each other.

Aww Poor you. It's so hard when you take yourself out of ketosis isn't it. Makes the 'journey' doubly difficult.

Have you tried splitting your packs? I always split mine as I couldn't bear the thought of not being able to have something 'shortly'.

Keep strong.

Lyn has been splitting her packs for a while now - something I have never done.

I have had to go onto the 790 plan and am finding it hard to eat the quantity of food. Today was 10oz of Quorn, which I just couldn't eat.
May just stick with AAMW quantities instead.

You could split the quorn C'n'Q. I did that too.

i dont think im out of ketosis to be honest with you, I just struggle to drink the water as Im driving all day. Its a nightmare, I seem to be getting some bladder weakness as it is! ( i literally had to pull th van over before and go for a wee on the hard shoulder before ) And thats only on the 2 litres I can get down. I simply dont have the time with the job to be nipping to the loo every 2 mins, as this involves coming out of the motorway and into services etc - lose a good 30 mins each time really, once Ive parked the van. My job simply wont allow it.

I cant split my tetra- Its down in one as it is. I cant split my breakfast one any more, as I need to get going first dawn, so I just have to down it and leg it!

the evening one isnt important, maybe Ill try for half a bar at night then have half of it in the day time. I dont know, but CD is clearly only for those that have access to loos at all times- something I just do not have try as I might.

I'm a teacher so I had problems with loo breaks if I drunk too much, so had most of my water in the evening. I rarely went over 2.5L.

Perhaps you could split your tetra the night before (the drink 15-20 minute rule doesn't apply to tetras) and decant 1/2 into a beaker. The other half put in your early morning coffee or just drink before you leave.

I would certainly split the bars and have half in the evening. I had to have my half bar then. Couldn't imagine going a whole evening without that and my big coffee when the kids were in bed.

You had a biscuit and some peanuts a couple of days ago. Are you sure you are still in ketosis. That would knock me out for sure. I did get hungry on CD, but only when a 'meal' was due.

Cute_'n'_Quirky

Today I have had one shake, one bar and half of the Quorn from 790.

I need to have a soup or a shake and the other half of the Quorn - and I am not in the slightest bit hungry for any of it.

I teach too!!! Adults, though, not children.

Well, I dont think I am really the main time Im hungry is in the mid morning - afternoon slot. Evenings Im fine as when I get in I down a litre or so of water, couple of peppermint teas, coke zero, etc then have dinner and a bar over the course of the evening.

When I first started CD i had tetra and I was still hungry after it. I think they are a bit small, really so I started taking my blender and a normal shake pack into work. At least then I could split it.

Ive decided to have an office day today to get back into it.

My weigh in last night showed a further loss, so IM happy with that, despite the nibbles.

CDC has put me to 790 now, sos I can split the meal, have half for lunch ( cottage cheese salad with LF c cheese) and same for tea. I just need to force myself to stick to it, and where possible eat in the day then have shakes etc at night.

Wish me luck!!
