So, I have just started the SBD for the first time - now on 4th day of Phase 1 (and already have lost 4lbs!!!). I passed on the birthday cake going round at work yesterday - I did look a few times and felt very tempted, but decided no, I CAN be strong - I MUST be strong! It is the first time I have ever been able to do that - and I just know that it is the prospect of getting slimer and trimmer that made the difference

It is my 30th birthday on 1st April - so I will be 2 weeks into Phase 2 by then. And, yes, I am going to have a slice of cake!

Just the one though ....

Hey thats great so far:Clap:

Congrats on the weight loss so far. And I hope you enjoy that piece of birthday cake. Just try to have a small piece and watch out cravings afterward.

Tell us how it goes!

Thanks for the replies guys!

Yes, not long to go until the big 30

Day 4 over - and still going strong. Feeling quite tired though only 10 days to go and then I can have porridge again

Is honey ok on Phase 1 or Phase 2?

Cheers!

Unfortunately, honey is one of those "eat rarely or avoid" foods and definately a no-no in phase one.

Try a sugar free honey or Agave Nectar, which is a lot like the taste and look of real honey. It is allowed, but the Agave has to be counted toward your sweet treat allowance for the day.
