Hi all,
I’ve been on the fast 800 for about 5 weeks and did very well until the last two 1/2 weeks – 6.5-7.4 kilos lost but it yoyos a bit and I’ve stalled – I’ve heard stalling is normal though . I explained on a different post I’m severely limited by the recipes I can cook as am in Asia and don’t get many ingredients or have an oven. I take everything from the new recipe book and only have about 15-18 (if that recipes) I rotate my menus picked solely on my ability to get the ingredients ( I have a 3 week plan that I rotate) but some of them I don’t like ! So I’m bored of my menus .
I’m terrified of getting the carbs/sugars wrong if I go off the book . How can I improve our meals ?
Are the recipes on the site suitable for the fast 800 – seem to be yummy but not have much nutrional info ?
Do I need to recheck how I’ve put my meals together – all selected from the cookbook but could certain combinations still mean I end up with more than the target 20-50 carbs a day ? I’ve rejigged these so many times I might cry if I have to do it again ! I literally planned by going oh yeah can shop for that and by totaling calories to be around 800 per day. Didn’t pay too much attention to what sections of the book they were in .
I want to keep going but just need some fresh ideas and recipes without getting it all wrong and halting the weight loss(any further !!!).
I would sign up to the 12 week online programme but it just won’t help me as won’t be able to do half of it due to not being able to get ingredients .
Also what’s the thirst about – constant and never ending ! I drink tons of water ??
If it becomes that weight loss stall for a really long time and (as has happened recently I gain ) what would anyone do to get it going again or what do I need to check ?
How much does adding extra veg do to upset the balance as we do sometimes do that or we have to substitute one for another because we can’t get hold of it ?
I’ve also been squeezing a lime here or there into cold water to create a thirst quenching drink – is that ok ?
After the summer I move to Europe so hopefully things will get easier !
To summarise I started this – well me and hubbie did (he stalled but now has overtaken by nearly 2 KG ) and it went so well. I’ve not really got too many hunger or craving issues but am fed up with not seeing progress now and also am starting to prefer to not eat then eat things on my plan so getting bored and finding it hard ! I know no one can wave a magic wand and ease my sourcing ingredients problem but any help appreciated and also other cookbooks or places to source recipes that will fit with the fast 800 stage one part would be appreciated .
Thank-you !
