Sometimes I wonder if the HNS really does anything to help the weight loss. I lost 6 1/2 pounds and then gained it back. I am down 4 pounds now. I work out at Curves 3 times a week.
What do you guys think? I for sure get frustrated that it is going slow. I was in WW and it took 6 months to lose 22 pounds. So like the turtle I will just keep on moving slow but sure. |

My weight loss has also slowed way down. I am a cheese lover and the consultant told me that though I could have 3 oz a day I should only have it at lunch 3 x a week and the rest of the time have it at breakfast. She also told me to up my water to 80oz as I have 50 pounds to lose.
One big problem I have is that I have been on this plan since the end of December and have never been in ketosis which is supposed to really help with the weight loss. She thinks my chewing too much gum, overusing the butter spray and using listerine mouthwash are all a problem as well as what I listed above. I am not hungry and don't have cravings. Past diets for me have all been about counting calories so this food combo thing can be frustrating as just an extra bite or piece of gum can throw it all off. I bought the biggest loser food digital food scale and it is REALLY helping. All of you are helping too! |

Do you guys find that when you are on your period (and no matter how much water you are drinking) you either don't lose any or gain during that week?

im so frustrated too! i've lost 32.5, but its going so slow for me. i started working out and i drink 4 hns a day. what are some of the things that you all notice that makes it go faster. one of the consultants told me that eating raw veggies helps things go faster and i mostly do that. they have also said that eggs for breakfast are way better than cottage cheese and cheese. any tips you have heard? also when i told my consultant today that i do light weights at the gym she said to make sure not to do too much of that so i guess cardio is best.

Slow and steady is better than fast...if you lose the weight really fast, it will not stay off.
I started the program with about 20-25 pounds to lose. I was complaining to my counselor that it's frustrating coming in and hearing people losing 5-10 pounds a week and she reminded me that they have, usually OVER 100 pounds to lose, so their losses are going to be greater than mine for awhile. I've been in ketosis since I started and I'm DEFINITELY losing more inches than pounds. My exercise clothes that used to fit like sausage casings are now loose and baggy, but I'm only down, at last WI, 4-5 pounds. We all lose differently, and remember...muscle weighs more than fat, so build it! |
It is too slow for my tastes. I started out about 4 pounds a week, then 3. Lately most of my weeks have involved a 1-2 of weight gain, 1-1.5 lb of weight loss or the dreaded no change in weight.
I don't like this at all, but then again no one really asked me about that. : ) |
