    so one off day/meal in 2 weeks, thats pretty good going really, i think you should certainly limit your off meals/days but going months without any will probably lead to you binging when you can finally have them again, at least this way its a treat, no deprivation.

    i find that when i overstep the fat intake i get some oil in my stools about 2 days later but just as a regular motion - no urgency or anything unpleasant

    Hi

    How strange i got to day 13 yesterday too and went a little off the rails. Had a piece of quiche with coleslaw. Wish i hadn't done it but it's too late for that now. It's the first time i'd weakened up til then i'd been brill. No after affects yet. Back on the straight and narrow now, it'll be worth it in the end. Have lost 7lbs in 2 weeks :lol: x
