Hi

well i started taking these on thursday morning with each meal ......didnt really used to eat brekky but have started! :wink:

and have been sort of waiting for\"something\" to happen all i can really say is my *ahem* poo has a ginger tinge lol is this ok or am i not eating enough........roughy its been :

brekky..... coffee, toast and a banana

dinner...... ham salad sandwich, yogurt & plenty of water

tea....chicken stirfry or meat with veg and yogurt or fruit for pud

coffee, go ahead biscuit thingys, odd jaffa cake, fruit for snacks

what do you think?? i must say the tablets have made me more \"food consious\" if you know what i mean? but i also have read afew posts about not losing if you havnt eaten enough fat per meal??

Anyhoo thanks in advance

    I'm also a Newbie and started on the tablets on Saturday lunchtime - ( I only have Branflakes and banana for Brekkie , so I didnt think I should take one as theres very little fat in cereal...........)

    I have had no effects as yet and still waiting!!

    There may be very little fat in cereal but the tablets will still take 30% of the very little.. so its better to take them with every meal

    well i must say i'm worried about it much less about if things were going to plan as i had to pop my little boy to the docs today and asked if i could jump on the scales just to have a little sneaky peep.....

    on wednesday aft i was 128.7kg and today 126.5!! :D so about 2kg which my superstar son told me was 2 bags of sugar lol
