    hi Sam, sorry to read that you're struggling to shift the weight. I've been on them 11 days and have lost 1st 4lbs...but this is because I'm off the scale obese, I always loose a lot to start with, its a massive shock to my system. Anyway thought I'd share what I typically eat in a day.

    breakfast= bowl of cheerios skimmed milk

    lunch= salad with fat free dressing and tin of tuna and 2 ryvita origionals

    tea = big fat piece of chicken with loads of veg (no gravy)

    during the day I will also eat fat free and sugar free jelly and yoghurts,loads of fruit.

    I drink loads of water, but still have tea, coffee and zero Sugar fizzy pop.

    I take a multivitamin at night time.

    I have only had issues with salmon, assumed it would be ok but for me it's not and came straight back out again....gross! xx
