Celebrity Slim

Thanks Seb Bixby, will do. I've been taking Apple Cider tabs for around a week but don't think i will continue, they make me extremely thirsty, drinking almost 3 litres a day which is fine, espcially since the Ladies toilet at work is three flights of stairs away!, but I can't seem to ever quench my thirst which results in no sleep and headaches
I do find they suppress my appetite, I'm usually ravenous come lunchtime, but it doesn't feel right (am I making any sense :rolleyes: ) I'm starting Celebrity Slim on Monday, I'm moving this weekend and planning to treat myself to a pizza when I'm all unpacked! The thing that annoys me the most is I've been going to the gym around 3 times a week since July and while I can feel muslce built up in my arms and my stomach it seems to be hiding under a few layers of flub that I can't seem to shift so I've started doing 30 - 40 mins on the cross trainer before my regular work out since Christmas but to no avail! I'm sure I'm doing something wrong so any advice would be great

God how much sugar are in those shakes? I'm constantly brushing my teeth after them.
I'm also far hungrier than I was on Atkins and more hungry than id be after my pre diet breakfast of a yogurt, juice and a slice of toast.
I feel like an Idiot for buying into this now I really should have known better, I just wanted a quick fix to get about 20lbs off. I guess I wont get the extra lbs off before my holiday in 7 weeks after all
I know there's no way I could stay on this diet for more than a week or so without cracking and going back on carbs even Atkins is far more doable IMO.
I think I'll start weight watchers instead and keep up the exercise.
Good luck to everybody who is still on this though!0 -
YES do it ,Hi everyone, I've just joined boards.ie so excuse me if I get something wrong! I've ordered enough Celebrity Slim for 2 weeks but after reading this thread I am not sure if I will continue using it. It would be great to lose a good few lbs with Celebrity Slim quickly and then keep it off by eating healthily. Does anyone know if a Slender Pro shake would be suitable as a breakfast? In the last couple of years I've noticed that milk and bread don't sit well with me for some reason and I don't have the time to cook something for myself in the mornings
its the best diet i have being on0 -

yes all my veg are green and onions and garlic are a big part of my diet now ,, im very happy to be eating healhty and feel better even if i dont lose weightHi guys!
Hope your are all keeping well!! I had written a big response but it looks like it's gotten lost in translation!!
Can't remember everything that I've put into it!! hmmm.
About yogurts as long as the carbs are less than 10g per 100g you can have 100g. If it works out that there are less than 10g per pot, that's fantastic!! BTW what yogurts are these!?
Thinny- you need to decide what is good for you. If you feel like WW is good for you then go with that. You will need to research any diet and decide what suits you! If you've any questions about CS, if I can help I will!!
Teamhar- Eat the snacks!! Even if your not hungry have something small. It's all about starting your motabilism so that you burn the fat!!
Saruman- I would be careful when following the weight watchers as part of the CS plan. WW is low calorie and fat but CS is reduced carbs. I would say that if your wife is eating dinner with lots of green veg and about 100g-150g of lean meat she will be fine. There are lot of great receipes avaliable on the internet so it doesn't get boring!
Pingu-girl- About the weight loss well everyone is different. The general guidelines for weight loss is 1-2 pounds a week on the CS program, anything over this is a bonus. I would try to steer clear of asking what other people lose every week coz if they tend to lose more than you it can be de-motivating. Remember that as long as you are losing it that's the main thing!! You body will know whats right! Also measure yourself coz you will lose inches aswell!!
paulinereidjda- I tend to agree with Gem on this one. Green veg has very little carbs in it. I eat more veg now than I did before!! 100g of lettuce has about 2g of carbs in it which is nothing!! Like always, take you time and eat until you are full. I base my dinner on 1/4 protein and 3/4 veg. So if I was having 100g of meat then I have 300g of veg!! Any that's just for my dinner!
ksambora- I think that the best thing to do would be check the ingredients and see if there is milk powder in the shake. If it doesn't agree with you might not be best to take it. It is hard to try to get something in the mornings. Why don't you try to prepare something the night before and take it with you in the morning? Small fresh fruit salad of something like that? I generally cook two sausages in the george forman when I'm getting ready and then take them with me!
Hope that helps!

Well done all on your weight loss!!!:D It's great isn't it!
I love the feeling of getting on the scales and seeing that I've lost more weight!! The program is easy to follow which is a big plus! Some of the girls at work or on weight watchers but I find that this works for me! Personally I couldn't handle counting all the points up!
What I do with the shakes is make them in the shaker with cold water and if I wanted to heat them stick them in the microwave for about a minute. The chocolate and cafe latte ones are great hot! If the coffee one is not coffee enough for you. You can add a bit of instant coffee to it. I haven't tried it myself but it's suppose to be ok!! 0 -

Hi everybody, just started CS today so fingers crossed! I ordered the starter pack off the Medicare-Group website and it arrived the next day. I found the booklet to be very interesting and informative, I'd never even though of GI before and it explains how to maintain your goal weight after you reach it without CS. It even has a table with the GI of loads of breakfast cereals, fruit, veg etc 0

NCC- Your supposed to have about two glasses of cordial a day, so using it for all your water would probably effect your weight loss. You should still lose but maybe not as much as you would have. Why don't you try adding some lemon or lime slices and see if that works for you? Hope this helps!
How did everyone's weekend go! I was very very very very bad!! 0 -
Hi folks, hope your all well & enjoyed your weekends ?? I went to London on Thursday & back Sunday night with a gang of women....My intentions were good & I was good (by day) for the first few days but boy did I throw the hammer after the hatchet & was bad, bad & very very bad......food drink so much so that when I stood on scales yesterday morn, I have nearly half stone up ! Isent that just dreadful....Now I know we had three nights & days of excessive drink & food, which wouldnt be normal but Im wondering is this the outcome when you do eat carbs again ???? Oh dear back at it again with a heavy heart this week 0

On day two of CS, not finding it too bad. Before I started, i was in a bad habit of not eating brekkie or lunch, just having coffee and biccys in work, and then dinner when i get home. Im having the shakes for brekkie and lunch, and then meat and salad when I get home for dinner. I was also snacking on blueberries yesterday.... very nice. Hoping to lose about a stone, so fingers crossed I can stick to it....Night time seems to be the hardest, as I can be a bit of a serial night-time junk food eater and cupboard raider.
I'll check back in in a few days to let you know how its going. 0 -

Hi all,
Well I've been reading the threads on CS and all related topics/posts over the last few days and have been fascinated by it all! From the weighloss some people have had, to the tips, to the strong points of view other people have had against it! Anyway I felt the need to join in the chat as I'm also new to CS (second day in) - all is good so far and being a former Atkins dieter and having endured Lighter Life for 2 weeks (and lost 1 stone but I just couldn't stand the not eating anymore) then I kind of had a head start with this one...
Will post more over the next few days in more detail as I'd like to add my thoughts/opinions and advice to other people from my own experiences with dieting but for now I wanted to enter my first post, say hello to you all and thank you for keeping me entertained over the last couple of days or so!
watch this space... xx 0 -

So there is something wrong then... Its not a healthy diet side effect.
Actually, part of the reason you have to drink so much water on lipotrim (or lighter life as I have done) is because you are substituting food with meal replacement drinks. A large proportion of our water intake is through food (not sure of the percentages so I won't quote figures) so if you are not 'eating' food then you need to drink more water, and therefore if you don't you will be de-hydrated!
Now don't get me wrong, I don't think that a complete meal replacement diet is a good idea and is very very difficult to follow - hence why I only lasted 2 weeks - I also have heard a few stories about people on lipotrim/lighter life losing their hair so that obviously is not a good thing!! :eek:
As for CS, well i'm on day 3 and had the hint of a headache earlier but that seems to have gone now. I've read the many posts on here from people who think it is bad/unhealthy etc but then so is being overweight! We are all very different and as many other people have quoted, different things work for different people. For me personally Atkins was the only diet where I managed to lose a decent amount of weight (2.5 stone) over a few months and managed to keep off for well over a year. In the end it was a combination of having an ankle injury that stopped me being able to exercise and a very stressful job and time in my life that unfortunately got me back to comfort eating and drinking too much wine! Therefore I put the weight back on over a period of about 2 years.
Again, I don't think that Atkins is the healthiest diet in the world and as many people are saying, healthy eating and exercise is the key which I'm pretty sure the majority of us are well aware of! It's sticking to it that's the problem, so the key is to educate yourself into a healther way of eating in whatever way works best for you. I like the fact that, unlike Atkins, CS still promotes some healthy carbs even in the early stages like fruit and lots of veg so even at that point it's healthier than atkins. I've also tried protein shakes as other people have suggested but the couple I have tried have been disgusting!!! At least the CS shakes mix up nicely and taste good too. I certainly don't think that this is the only answer for everyone who is overweight and I do agree with Gem and others who have commented that healthy balanced diet is the best, however like I said it's not always that easy when you've got used to years of bad habits!
Anyway I have to get back to work now, I do have a few other bits of info and advice for anyone who is interested - we all have to share these things, like I say some things work for some and not others... oh yes and one other quick comment I have to say is that Yoga is a fantastic form of exercise! For both mind and body, and in fact I was at my slimmest, healthiest and most content when I had lost the weight on Atkins, was at maintenance stage and therefore eating fairly 'normal' balanced diet and practising Yoga 4-5 times a week, even if it was for 20 mins at a time in front of the tv whilst watching Eastenders! It is something you need to have a bit of patience with though initially, especially if you're used to standard aerobics classes.
Right, i'm off... will be back on soon 0 -

that's the problem though Chick36 weight loss isn't meant to be easy & whilst i completely agree with different strokes for different folks i just hate to see people fooled into thinking they can go on a diet like celebrity slim, lipotrim, atkins even weight watchers & think it's going to be an easy ride it's not & that's the point i think most people who have successfuly lost the weight & managed to keep it off find so hard to struggle with when people turn to a diet looking for a quick fix. the weight didn't go on me over night & i sure as hell know it's not coming off over night so far it's been a six month journey of hard work but i mean it i will not be overweight again in my life i will continue to work hard at this because at the end of the day it's my life not just my weight that gets affected by this, i want to be a 90 year old woman & if i don't continue a healty living lifestyle i won't get there. if you want to do well in anything in your life you need to apply hard work to get it - there are no quick fixes but my god i'm sure we all wish there were but the reality is there isn't.0 -
