OK back off holiday, been weighed so the diet starts here! Can I ask a quick question? Does anyone have more than 800 cals? I have a friend (we both have Thyroid probs) who is allowing herself 1000 and is doing OK. Just wondering if anyone else is doing anything similar?

Hi cmor – welcome aboard. Yes there are several folks on the forum who are eating higher than the 800cals and still losing. If you keep the carbs in check, many find that they don’t need to worry about the calories. Personally, I lose slowly anyway and if I don’t watch the calories as well as the carbs, I don’t lose. The thing to do is to give it a go and see how you can adapt the BSD to suit you, as we are all different and need to make the new regime work with our bodies and our lifestyles.

Good luck … hope to see you posting some good results soon.

Thanks Sunny. I am a very slow loser too so fingers crossed 😉

Good luck – keep us posted.
