Hey all.
Thought I’d post my experience of the first 2 weeks to help / encourage others.
I have to say this has been one of the easiest yet hardest diets to follow.
Easy – the food is delicious and I genuinely have not felt hungry.
Difficult – the prep. It’s very time consuming and you have to be organised. But it’s so worth it.
My husband and kids aren’t following it so I’m making 2 different dinners and packed lunches.
I also work shifts so had to tweak the menu plan in the book to fit in with my schedule.
Week 1:- lost 7lbs!!! And back in my healthy weight bracket! Was super chuffed and hadn’t suffered any ill effects….
Week 2:- so work trousers feeling more comfortable already (I had the attractive muffin top going on 😱). Although I’d started to feel a little dizzy when bending over and then standing up. I know a few people have said its carb withdrawal but I believe mine to be low blood pressure. So decided to have a little snack of nuts when feeling like this.
I also noticed some headaches, I’m a wimp with these so was taking paracetamol more often than I would have liked. I was drinking enough to water so knew it wasn’t that.
Well after reading the book again, it says if you have either symptom add a little salt to your food.
At the end of week 2, another loss, 3lbs.
Supper chuffed.
I had to get my husband to hide the scales as I was becoming obsessed!
So that’s me so far, I’ve just walked past the mirror and can’t believe how much flatter my tummy looks already.
Change for life.
Good luck to those starting out.
