    I have been doing this just since Monday. And af arrived on Tuesday and it was a real shocker with loads of pain and feeling so swollen.
    But regardless of that, the scales say just over 2kg down, in 5 days, with af still hanging around! I've had no sugar cravings and no sugar/carbs/white anything which in itself is miraculous especially when af is around.
    I've been eating full fat cheese and cream and cooking in butter or oil and I am quite astounded to be honest and I've not felt hungry which is so different to anything else I've done before and I love not counting calories.
    Oh and due to af being so awful, there's been no excercise at all this week other than normal stuff work related.
    Hoping this continues!

    Okay ausgirl.... I'm feeling inspired....

    So far its the lack of carb alternatives that I've struggled with, I'm still falling back to pasta and rice... Didn't have much in the way of bread last week - except for a gluten, dairy yeast free bread I found at Safeway....

    I made cauliflower rice and it was actually pretty good as an alternative. I also used the slicer thingy that has different settings to make thin ribbons of zuchini which was kind of like spaghetti.
    I don't have spaghetti or rice very often though anyway. Fruit has been hard for me to give up, especially my morning banana.
