ss or 1 meal Posted by Dawn on 5/14/2008, 4:58 am 205.188.116.X Hi all I was wondering what most of you do with the camb? Do you just drink 3 shakes a day or do you add a meal? I have been having a evening meal mainly grilled chicken and veggies or just grilled veggies..was just wondering if this would really make a big difference in the weight I lose? I have a 3 year old daughter and I want her to see me eat as well as drink so she doesnt grow up with a distorted way of eating/dieting if that makes sence? Anyway any info would be appreciated I cant find anywhere on here how much wieght people have lost on average of doing this diet any info there would be great as well Thank you have a great day  Post a Response

When people have to cook for others or have a busy lifestyle they find that they simply cannot stick to SS and find that SS + a meal is easier for them The choice is up to you really Hope all goes well for you x  Post a Response

Re: ss or 1 meal Posted by Mel on 5/14/2008, 6:11 am, in reply to "Re: ss or 1 meal" 82.26.72.X Hi Dawn, I have found in my experience ( all ten day of it) that when I just have shakes I lose an average of 0.5 to 1lb per day. If I have a small amount of protein with some fat (like a scoop of chicken with full fat mayonnaise) instead of a shake I tend to almost triple my wieght loss (apparently the body can metabolise better with a bit of fat or oil). This might just be because I have not been on the plan for very long but seems to work for me. Yesterday I had lost 11lb, I had 2 shakes and about 2 tablespoons of shredded chicken and mayo (figuring that protein won't upset my levels of ketosis) and this moring I had lost another 3 lb. Am thinking of taking some omega 3 essencial oils to help boost weight loss. Good Luck Mel  Post a Response

Omega 3 Posted by Ann in England on 5/14/2008, 9:55 am, in reply to "Re: ss or 1 meal" 86.161.140.X I take Flaxseed Oil (vegetarian equivalent) and it doesn't seem to affect my weight loss. Atkins works on the principle you described - and it is also a ketogenic diet!  Post a Response

Re: ss or 1 meal Posted by Dawn on 5/14/2008, 5:38 am, in reply to "Re: ss or 1 meal" 205.188.117.X Ty for replying so quickly :-) I would rather just stick to the shakes cause it is easier for me to not have to think about eating but when my daughter asks me why I am just drinking and not eating it worried me that she is noticing and I just dont want to set her up to think she needs to do the same since she kind of follows what we do as parents ..Again Ty for your post have a great day  Post a Response
