My only problem is that I am finding it hard to even reach 20 carbs per day with the foods that I have been eating. Most of the protein enriched food is carb free - meat, fish, cheese and eggs very low. The carbs are in vegetables mostly and as I am only on Phase 1 which is Induction, I am not allowed fruit as yet. I have been having half of a Hartley's jelly for dessert at lunch and then the other half for dessert after dinner - with one tablespoon of double cream. That seems to be getting me through my sacrificing of chocolate and desserts. I've been soo good! LOL. *Pats myself on the back*. I've even picked gooseberries and rhubarb at my allotment, cooked it and dished it up for my husband's dinner and not even whiffed it myself. I did freeze some of the gooseberries for when I am allowed to include fruit, so I don't feel deprived. I'm a good girl, I am. LOL.
The good thing is that I haven't had any sugar cravings nor headaches like some peeps experience. So I believe that I am past that stage. My body hasn't gone into Ketosis as yet but it's getting there! I am measuring dark pink on the Ketostix scale!
If there is anyone that can give me advice or experiences that they have had, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your support peeps.

Never tried this but heard about it. Glad you are not having problems but I would be careful of the ketosis thing ... but if it worked before and you were fine then maybe its fine.
3 lbs is a healthy amount ...Drs say 1-2 a week on most diets.At 60 (sorry xx) the skin doesn't spring back much so the slower the better lol
