Ok, I eat regularly, but week one I ate normal and that was 1100 cals/day, I'm currently on week three of 8-850/day. Weight loss is slower than week one, 6lb first week, but I've been a little busy on less active things.As well as being a full-time carer for someone with a spinal cord injury ... In my "spare" time I've had to change my exercise regime and concentrate on my other hobby ... I bake birthday cakes and there's a lot of birthdays in August for me. As a side note ... Does anyone else hate the smell of sugar as much as me :-D Sent from my B3-A20 using <a href="http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=67" target="_blank">Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app</a></blockquote>
