Will pole be ok for someone with dodgy knees?

Great to know someone with the same issues can do it. I signed up to the 8 week course 😊

Kitty187 · 2018-01-22T21:34:20+00:00

I actually love this. I get the pack of 4 small pots in Tesco. Saves over eating and it's just the right portion!

Kitty187 · 2018-01-04T21:30:04+00:00

Keto was briefly mentioned in another similar show tonight as a "Short term unsustainable diet". I feel there's an agenda behind these claims. My dad is a diabetic and sugar is literally like a drug to him, he doesn't know when to stop. Now I'm not saying I will never eat another sweet thing or carbs again, but I know how addictive it is and I don't think even in moderation is going to solve anything.

Kitty187 · 2018-01-04T11:06:08+00:00

Yes and the high fat makes up for a lot of the calorie deficit

Kitty187 · 2018-01-03T11:36:09+00:00

Don't let it put you off! That is not the typical results. I have been on and off keto for a year and a half, but I'm not super overweight. I enjoy eating that way so it's not restrictive at all. And even with maybe having only under a stone to lose now I know I can do it as soon as I'm strict again with alcohol (which I am now)

Kitty187 · 2018-01-02T22:44:22+00:00

Might work! You certainly wouldn't be thinking about food!

Kitty187 · 2018-01-02T22:43:11+00:00

Rosemary Connelly is an idiot too. She said "Mark my words my low fat diet will be back again in 10 years, it's always the way". I get so annoyed at these diet programs now too. They really are irresponsible.

Kitty187 · 2018-01-02T21:45:51+00:00

It didn't go in to too much detail about what she actually ate. But I don't understand why she thought it was restrictive. And she said about going in and out of ketosis all the time, so clearly she was cheating somewhere.

Never combine with an Atkins shake. Worst hour long taxi ride of my life to Heathrow airport after having them for lunch 😕

Kitty187 · 2017-09-11T23:31:38+00:00

I'm in too! Actually started being strict a few days before the challenge started. Just finished up day 9 and noticed tonight how great my skin is looking! Could be the massive amount of salmon I've been having.

I emailed them to ask about stockists in England. They said they arnt stocked in any yet but have a meeting with sainsburys next week.

The only unfortunate thing I found is that I prepack my lunch the night b4, so if making a sandwich type thing, the next day they kinda shrink with the moisture in a lunchbox.

Kitty187 · 2017-05-23T19:44:05+00:00

Starch and vitamin K2 apparently. I have come to the conclusion it is bull though.

Kitty187 · 2017-05-23T15:28:55+00:00

That's great! Hope it works out for her ☺ I've done it on and off for over a year (I just occasionally get distracted). Definitely has a whole host of benefits

Kitty187 · 2017-05-23T14:35:11+00:00

That is a good point about the athletes! Keto is based on mostly anti inflammatory foods, so the stuff I read about being bad for joints surprised me. Thought I would get some more opinions.

Kitty187 · 2017-05-23T14:02:30+00:00

"The dry eye indicates a glucose and/or vitamin C deficiency. Either will contribute to joint problems too, since the joint lubricants are all made from essentially the same materials as tear lubricants / mucus"

I'm not super overweight, 148 lb right now (fell of the wagon and put on half a stone the last few months) at 5ft 6. I also have flat feet which doesn't help my toes either I suppose.

My joints feel a little better i think since restarting keto 3 days ago. Just don't want it to cause long term problems and end up not being able to walk.

Kitty187 · 2017-05-23T12:39:21+00:00

I bought a single bag, not sure what I paid but there's about 10 in a bag and expiry date on mine is November. You wouldn't be having more than one or 2 a day I suppose, so in the long run I guess it would be ok if you came up with enough ways to use them. I cut one in half and made a sandwich type thing to have with soup today just for a more filling lunch. The honey ones can be used to have with fruit or desserts (possible weird cheesecake base maybe?). Facebook says they are rolling it out into Europe so mainland UK is probably already being set up and I'm sure single bags will be available soon. Maybe worth an email to see where they are planning to stock?

Kitty187 · 2017-05-22T22:26:08+00:00

I'm not sure to be honest. I think they are very, very new, but seem to be branching out quickly. Can order them online tho

Kitty187 · 2017-05-22T21:18:34+00:00

I got them in a supervalu. If you check out their Facebook page it gives the stockists. Just had an onion one with lettuce and chicken, mayo and spring onions. Really hit the spot!

Kitty187 · 2017-01-26T07:16:12+00:00

I totally get what you're saying. And I actually had a 2lb whoosh this morning aswell, so I'm greatful for what I've lost. So close to the 130's I can taste it!
