The World of Kitsch: Day Four

After a successful weekend-start to the plan, Claire’s been keeping up the momentum and has been sticking to the plan by the letter. Find out how she got through her fourth day of the plan without ‘blipping’ and avoided some tempting items whilst out with the family…
It’s day four and so far I’ve stuck to plan 100%. I have been tempted, but I know how successful this diet is for people who don’t cheat on it, so I’ve been able to stick to my four products a day with the image of fitting into my too-tight-for-now M&S jeans in my mind.
My Hazelnut Shake, frozen into lollies last night, didn’t go entirely to plan. They stuck in the mould and the handle came free. So I put both of them into a bowl and ate it like an icecream. I’m definitely going to either freeze, or make mousse from my remaining shakes, because when I’m eating this little a day, I don’t want to waste any calories on drinks.
The New You Plan is a total meal replacement diet, and where some delivered diets let you add your own fruit and veg, this diet does not. You must stick entirely to the four products a day (plus a very occasional snack, also from the plan) and not add anything except the odd spice.
The pros are the weekly price you pay is absolutely all you’ll personally spend on food that week. You don’t receive your parcel then have to shop for another £30 of ingredients to add. Another pro is you know exactly if you’re doing things right or not, as you aren’t wondering have you eaten too much fruit and taken in too much sugar. If you stick on plan then you can’t get it wrong in other words.
I have to confess though readers, I emailed Grant, my contact at The New You and answerer of my endless questions, and asked him if I could have something not within the plan and stay in ketosis. I know, I know, I’m only four days in, and I sort of knew the answer before I whizzed off the email, but with it being Bank Holiday Monday and Michael being off school, I was weak! Any off plan eating is going to affect the success level I have at the end of week one, so before he even answered I had talked myself out of it anyway. Once I finish my diet there will be many more Mondays for off-plan meals, and it so still be low in fat and good for helping me maintain.
Michael had a treat in going to W5 today anyway, and when he had a snack in their cafe, I was able to have one of my New You bars. The diet was saved from a moment of madness!
Michael is back at school full time tomorrow, and I’ll be left to my own devices. Eating lunch alone will make things a bit easier as I won’t have to cook and smell his food and be tempted that way. Almost half way through week one!
