Hi all hope the diet is going well for you all.
I did post my questions seperately to this thread but got response.
Just have some questions about the diet if anyone can help.
I will be 12 weeks post birth (not bf) on the 11th march just a week and a bit. I want to actually start it on the 12th march so should i book my app with consellor on 11th. I want to do sole source
Yes, as usually they like you to start the very next day. 3 months post partum should be fine unless you have any medical problems then you will need to get your doc to sign you for it.
Also I know that you should cut down on your carbs the week leading up to the diet. I have alot of pasta, rice, potatoes etc and to cut it out has left me with not alot of ideas for dinner. Any ideas on easy meals I could make for myself? Il still cook that sort of thing for my family.
vegetables and protein, chicken, fish etc and brocolli, cabbage, bot exciting but should prepare you a little.
I have also read that you shouldnt start much exercise when starting the diet. Would it be ok to start swimming?
I personally wouldnt. I dont think they recommend it until 2 weeks have gone. I dont think you will be in the mood for it the first week or so anyway. especially on SS.
What happens at your first appointment with your counsellor? Do they just weigh you or do they measure your waist, bust, thighs etc.
You get a health questionaire, they go through a bit of your medical history etc, weigh you, measure you, BMI, etc...the full works. I get weighed and measured weekly.
Im so looking forward to starting this diet ever since I had my beautiful boy.
Im going to take pics of myself just in my underwear before I start the diet and that will def be my motivation to stick at it!
This is what I did! i have to say, its the best diet ever! ive lost 2 stone in 2 months and am nearly at goal. Ive gone from a 16 to nearly a 10
good luck and be sure to come in here and chat, we will help you along
