    Evening gang,
    not sure what I have to read for this diet is there a book/web page??
    Never ever been on a diet before so alien territory for me but was always a size eight and now four stone over.
    Went to docs again tonight as seriously high blood pressure is being a bit resistant to drugs.....is 200/100 too much,lol?
    I mentioned about still gaining weight and that today I had only eaten some grapefruit and a cup of tea and he said "grapefruit is too many calories"
    He told me that all day he only has one piece of toast and two cups of tea, surely that can't be enough to survive on??
    Have I missed something??

    I remember being told at Slimming world that if you don't eat enough your body goes into starvation mode.

    No chance of that happening with me any time soon :D:p:D

    It's true. Just clings on to fat for survival purposes

    Managed to get 2 boxes of crackers tonight :) Thanks to OP.

    Almost got trouted by suspicious SS assistant who questioned me about them. I had paid though so if he'd tried to take the crackers away from me I'd have karate chopped him. Purpledonkey and I legged it sharpish as we saw him telling all his colleagues. Might have to steer clear of that mr Ts for a while....hehe

    No, that doesn't sound right to me at all :( and really bad advice to be giving out! Tea and toast don't contain all the nutrients that your body needs everyday, far from it. I think you'd be better to get some alternative advice!!
