Agreed @Pipp ND will bring your bg's down but we have to work to keep them there. I am using shake that weight but as said if you are not fond of sweet you might not like it that much but I am diluting it with more water than recommended. Banana flavour was the worst out of them all, if you like coffee Caffè latte is really nice and so are others. But I hate sweet coffees as well but yes it's a good product and I take 3 of those shakes making it about 400 cals and about 200gm of soup, that can't be 200 calories but I think that's what's mentioned. I am so confused with the vegetable portion as at one place it says you have to eat 240g veggies split into 3 time but then below it also says 200ml soup. So just to be safe I take one soup of allowed veggies which is 200grams and put 3 grams of oil. All in all I should be about 600 calories. For a change yesterday I had salad and weighed it to make exactly 50 calories but that looked huge. Although we're allowed 200 cals of veggies I don't know the reason behind such a small quantity of soup. I don't use stock so I make it purely out of water. My 200 gram soup can not be 200 calories.
Any suggestions?
Am I doing anything wrong or understood wrong.
I will have a look and get back to you. Limited time online at the moment.
I have tended not to worry too much about the quantity of veg. Usually base homemade soups on celery leeks and green veg, with herbs for flavour. If I am going to do this again properly then I need to study the options. My original ND was with Lipotrim, which is Total Food Replacement, so didn't have to concern myself with any other food. Will read up the Newcastle papers and Shake that Weight literature and report back. I won't be making a start for about a week though. Got too much going on at the moment to be committed to it. It had to be perfect!
