I'm on the diet too.
I've been on it for 10 weeks now and have lost 9 kgs.:thumbsup:
Though this week I fell off the wagon and ate some things I shouldn't have,but I still lost weight.:D

Is it safe to do while breastfeeding and how soon can you do it after having a baby????
I saw the add on TV but only noticed shakes, what does it let you eat????
I know someone who lost lots of weight on it.

I don't think it's recommened while BF'ing because of the limited foods you eat.I was told not to anyway.

Aside from having 2 shakes a day (yum),you must have a minimum of 3 cups of certain veges or salad a day,100 grams of protein,minimum 2 litres of water and you can have some low GI fruit too.No bread,rice,or pasta etc.There are some dressings that you can have,like egg mayo,soy sauce type things,to make your food more interesing.

It is hard sometimes,but I just think of how slim I'll be in time for summer.:)

I was on the diet b4 and I lost 23kg in 15weeks.

I plan to go back on because Id like to lose 8kg more to take me down to the minimum I can be for my height while still being in a healthy weight range.

well today is day 2. No nasty side effects yet, apart from weeing like a burst pipe lol!
Yesterday was hard cos the family had pizza for tea, but I have my sister doing it with me which helps. I decided just out of curiosty to see if I had lost anything yet and I am already 600g lighter, would be fluid but happy to see it is doing something. And I actually feel good today, not being stuffed with carbs and junk food!

i am doing it also and will of been doing it 3 weeks tomorrow, i have lost 7kg's already and am feeling much better, more energetic and can cope with the days alot better, my skin which has always been known to be horrible, acne prone is also looking great. Most of the shakes are great too, even the soups are nice. You have your good days and your bad days but you keep chugging on. You just have to learn to say no especially when your family has something yummy for dinner and you cant have it. Best of luck with it, we should all support each other on here to help us along a bit better. They say you shouldnt do TF while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Hi
I tried it a couple of months ago but only lasted 4 days, the total withdrawel of carbs was too much to handle :laughing:

Also i think, I wasn't in the set mind to really do it, but after reading all your success stories, I'm willing to give it another try. I might read thru the booklet again to see what i did wrong and to get some inspiration....

Thanks!

Tomorrow is the beginning of my third week and also my second weigh in. My first week i lost 4.7kg
I feel so much healthier and not weighed down by the carbs
I had chicken and veg stirfried in soy fresh ginger and garlic YUMMO

27-08-2006, 21:03

I have been on it for a week tomorrow. i had my first weigh in today and lost 1.8kilos which I was really happy with. I think I would have lost more but we went away for two days to DH's parents place and I had limited choices - therefore bad choices! That disappointed me but I still had a considerable loss which is fine by me. I found it quie easy after the second day and didn't even feel hungry.

Tonight we had rump steak with roast vegetables. I seasoned the steak with pepper steak herbs and roasted mini eggplants, red capsicum,red onion, mushrooms, zucchini and asparagus in basil pesto. I used the Dolmio Basil Pesto which I found today and it is only 3.9 g/per 100g in carbs - its delish!

Great thread!:yes:

I just had chicken and salad for dinner tonight, i enjoy having salads so have started having salad almost every night. I find going to the Tony Ferguson forums you get sooo much encouragement there each week. Looking forward till tomorrow to weight myself, it will be the beginning of week 4 for me tomorrow. The big test will come in a couple of weeks time when it is my sons birthday party (he will be 3) will the food tempt me i wonder.

Well day 3 for me... last night I had what felt like hunger pains but I think it could have been psychological as I knew there were freddo frogs in the freezer for the children. :rolleyes:
I am sooo determined to shed this weight, I am so happy with myself this morning that I did not give in but boy it was hard!

Bad.I'm on week 11 now ....I haven't been sticking to the diet at all the last few weeks.Don't know whats wrong with me! (I had KFC today :o )

I'm so cranky with myself,but I just can't get back into the swing of it.I have a weigh in on thursday,and I'm sure to have put some weight back on this week so hopefully it will give me a wake up call to get back on it!

Just some encouragement girls, don't give up!!!

My DH is on the diet and has lost 17kg in 6 weeks!!!
I am so proud of him. He is so happy he is losing it all and every week when he weighs in and see's how much he has lost, it gives him the strength to keep going.

Good luck girls!:thumbsup:

29-08-2006, 15:25

Wow,17 kgs in 6 weeks!! Thats fantastic!

I won't give up,I just have to get out of this rut I'm in.It is great when you go for your weigh in and see what you've lost,even better when you try on nice clothes and see that they finally fit and look good too.

Do you girls use the fibre and vitamin supplements???

Harry&Max's Mummy

Congrats Olivia&Bella's mummy! Thats great.

Well,I had my weigh in on thursday,and despite the bad week of eating I still lost 800grams and 1 cm off my waist!:smiliedance: I'm now just 400 grams away from hitting the 10kg mark.Yay! I'm back on it now,swigging my water as I type.:D

DramaQueen,anything is possible,go for it.Everyone seems to lose at different rates....it's taken me 11 weeks to lose just under 10kgs,though I have had 3 bad weeks of eating ****,so I probably would of lost more.....and as Lunar said,her hubby has lost 17kgs in 6 weeks.Good luck!!
I'm taking Metamucil fibre,otherwise I find I'm in big trouble iykwim.

Good luck for your weigh in on monday Harry&Max's mummy.:)

Does anyone know if you can do the TF diet if TTC? Or is it not recommended?

Im not too sure about this. Perhaps you could email them and ask?

Well im joining too! i start tomorrow.

I have 20 kgs to lose which seems so daunting. DH has agreed to do it with me too so im hoping that makes a difference.

Will you keep you all updated!:fingerscrossed:

Terrible2+1cutie

03-09-2006, 11:22

As far as i know you can do it while TTC cause i am TTC too, i think as soon as you find out you are pregnant though you have to stop the TF diet.

I weighed myself today which is almost 4 weeks after i started the diet, tomorrow will be 4 weeks exactly and i have lost 10kg's i am soooo happy with myself and am starting to notice the weight dropping off and i am slowly fitting into all my nicer clothes again. The diet is really easy now but i think it will be hard next weekend when it is my son's 3rd Birthday party.

Hi Mummycat
Be strong... Did you make a salad to eat for lunch as well as your shake/soup?.That is what i do to take me through to my afternoon fruit. Stick to it though as it is worth it. the headaches and hunger only last for a few days

I weighed in today for the end of week three and lost 1.3kg which is a total of 7kg in 3 weeks

catalicious

04-09-2006, 14:56

Hey I wasnt aware that you could have food with the shake?? I went and had toast in my hour of need. :o :shame:

Maybe I can try that. I also got merconium tablets because the lady said to me thats its prob cravings and my body detoxing itself from all the **** I normally eat.
So they help even out your blood sugar level, and since my body is used to having lots and lots of sugar and carbs thats what I am gonna do.

Thats so great H&M's Mummy. thats so good for 3 weeks. Keep it up!

So are the bulk of you excercising with it?? How often would you excercise and what type of excercise is it you do??

I hope I can stick to it. I need some more will power as my Dad said.... Who is in charge Catherine McDonalds or you?? I left that question unanswered!!:o
Oh well we will see I have however only been having water which is good as I normally only have coke.

Harry&Max's Mummy

Hi Cat, DH walks for at least half an hour a day (well most days anyways)

You could walk to my house!!! That can be your exersise! lol

I am thinking about starting it too now, just to lose about 7/8 kgs, if I am anything like DH or Harry & max's mum I will lose it in a month. My biggest temptation will be the wonderful thing called CHOCOCLATE:( I don't think I'll be able to give it up:no:

And I think I am going to quit right this very second.

I am having the worst headaches I am soooooo hungry and I am having huge cravings.

I am heaps hungry maybe if i stop and have 1 shake for breakfast and follow the rules for dinner but do this fr lunch and dinner it will still work for me....:o :confused:

Im just soooo bloody hungry and cant see the oint right now.

Do NOT give up! I went through the same thing in the first few days and trust me, if you stick to it and when you wake tomorrow you will be so proud of yourself! And it WILL get easier!!! :hugs:

I agree that having a salad at lunch helped alot.

I struggled a bit lasting until dinner, but it made it taste so much better i think. I usually hate vegies!

I bought some decaf coffee, i am hoping that the cravings can be cured with that.:fingerscrossed:

Butterfliez

04-09-2006, 20:51

I joined today! Yay! Isn't that the biggest step? I am going to tell myself that it is only for one day. Then when that day is over, I will tell myself it is only for one more day. Maybe I can trick myself??? Am hoping to lose 5-7 kgs. Hoping I lose it before falling pg, otherwise I will have to stop when I am.

To everyone else on the diet, well done for making the effort!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:yelclap: Encouragment is the key!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know if its been mentioned before but I was wondering how much is it for the programme?

Lunar

04-09-2006, 20:58

initially it is $65 for the first week, then $40 per week there after.
This includes all your meal replacement shakes and/ soups.

Thanks girls for all your info and advice on the TF diet. I've seen it advertised on tv heaps and was thinking it sounded too good to be true, but seems it does work! I also thought all your meals were replaced with shakes and I didn't know how that would work. Am pleased to find out that is not the case, could never stick to it otherwise! I've done WWatchers before and lost 20kg so I know I can do it. Just don't want to get back into point counting again so the TF diet sounds like a good alternative. Thanks for the prices too, not as expensive as I thought. I'm currently pregnant (23 weeks) and hoping to bf, so maybe I'll be doing TF after all this is finished and I have my body back :D
Congratulations everyone on taking that first step and for all your weight loss!!

05-09-2006, 07:58

Hi

Don't know if its been mentioned before but I was wondering how much is it for the programme?

It cost me just over $40 for a week worth of shakes, $15 to register, $10 for a programe book, $5.00 for the shaker container, almost $30 for the fibre and same for the mulitvitamins.

Then each week it is costing me $40 just for shakes and will replace the fibre and multi vitamins as they run out.

Oh and you also need to buy diet jellys, fresh fruit and veg, protein in form of meat, chicken, fish and eggs for dinner etc, diet cordial, diet lollies and chocolate, and there are other foods you may want aswell, just look in their booklet or online.:thumbsup:

catalicious

05-09-2006, 08:21

I know that is why I don't want to do it, also the MAIN reason why I don;'t want to do it is because I don't have the money to buy new clothes, so if I lose too much weight I will have nothing to wear so I'll either be walking around in my baggy undies (NOT a good look lol) or clothes hanging off me (not a good look either:rolleyes: )

Yay go Kris then we can walk together and encourage each other, i dont think you will find the not eating cr@p thing as hard as you always where a good eater.... Just the chocolate.

I was actually thinking about walking down to yourhouse yesterday to fight the cravings but then didnt know if you where home or whatever..

Yeah join and you will save money for new clothes and stuff by the breakfast and lunch you dont have to buy. Erom all the Carbs you dont buy also. Well only for Em but she doesnt eat that much anyway.

To jasmines mum, I am the pickiest eater i think in the whole wide world (kris can back me up on this) and I like them (the shakes) well the ones i have been willing to try anyway.

I love the banana one, maybe from lack of having them lately. But I also like Choc, strawberry, vanilla and the chicken soup one.

I am starting afresh today hoping that these tablets can get me through and diet jelly here i come i was told i can eat as much of it as i want .....:idea: im so excited at this prospect i will never get hungry again.

Well I have started today and so far going well. Its 3pm and so far I am not having any problems with hunger. The only thing I have is a slight headache - probably from lack of coffee as I haven't gone out and bought the decaf one yet.

I have had the chocolate and mocha flavoured shake and considering they are made on water they really do taste quite nice - I am surprised as I have tried those slim right and optifast drinks before and they just don't cut it but these ones taste nice. I also blend it with ice cubes and it makes it nice and frothy.

Just gotta keep going now - have a LOOOOONG way to go

Hey there everyone, good day here today. Goal for tomorrow is to get up early and go for a walk before work.

We are having steak for dinner with steamed vegies.

How is everyone else going?

Just a question - Berocca wouldn't have any carbs or kj's in it would it? There is no nutritional panel on it but i just thought i would check as i have one every morning to keep me going!

My starter kit arrived today!!!:smiliedance: I will have my first shake in the morning.

I must confess though :o As soon as I received the package this afternoon, I went a bought a chiko roll :D As sort of a last hurrah!!!!!!!!:shame:

Butterfliez

05-09-2006, 21:01

I know all about the last hurrah! I started today and last night we had Charcoal Chicken! Luckily it was gross, so I may not crave it as much. I went not too bad today. Had the expresso shake for brekkie, yum, and the chicken soup and salad for lunch. Was suprising how filling it actually was. Also had a mandarin and an apple for snacks. For dinner (this is the time when I HATE diets)I couldn't be bothered cooking when I came home late from work at 8pm, so I had left-over mince that I had used to make lasagna yesterday. Is that cheating? It was cooked with pasta sauce, so probably. Oh well. I have drunk heaps of water too, and been forever taking loo breaks - the down-side. I can't understand if you need so much water, why is so much wasted :confused:

So, with the 1st day down, maybe it will get easier. Good luck everyone!

Camilla

06-09-2006, 00:18

I have just very few questions for u girls :

1. How much does the shakes cost? more than they are worth
2. Are u ready to buy it for the rest of ur lives? no
3. Do u think u will keep off weight after u stop using it? no
4. What do u think it means when u are overweight? u and the rest of the people u are preparing meals for are not getting the right foods in the first place. Eating/drinking more junk will not help u in the long term

So there's one more question for u :
5. Are u ready to see ur husband or children unhealthy and overweight too? you know the answer!

I lost weight a much healthier and cheaper way... I joined the Betalife program. As a person who USED to waste time and money on shakes (yes its true :o ) and heaps of other things, i can suggest u try Betalife too!

This is a support thread, so I think you were a little uncalled for Camille.

Hokey Pokey

06-09-2006, 08:07

1. How much does the shakes cost? more than they are worth They are worth every cent for me.
2. Are u ready to buy it for the rest of ur lives? Yes, I am always on the run so a shake full of all the nutrients and vitamins that I need is a good way for me, otherwise I will skip meals.
3. Do u think u will keep off weight after u stop using it? Yes I will, they have a maintenance programe.
4. What do u think it means when u are overweight? I am not overweight, and we rarely eat junk food! I tend to skip my meals alot so like I said above, this is a great way for me. I have gained weight from skipping my meals.

So there's one more question for u :
5. Are u ready to see ur husband or children unhealthy and overweight too? Why just to assumption that they are un healthy because I am doing TF, I see you do betalife I ask YOU, are your family unhealthy or overweight too then?

Hey Olivia, sorry i didn't mean to hurt u or anything... :gloomy:
Yes, my family is more healthy than they have ever been before. Because we eat normal balanced foods, we go out and i don't have to worry that after dinner i'll put on weight or smth.... cause Betalife program told me how to balance my food so that i wouldn't have problems again.
Any way sorry again...it was my first day in forums and i couldn't believe when i saw how many woman have problems.... that can be fixed easily if u know how! I guess when u find something that fixes ur own problems u want to help the world too.
:smiliedance:

This is what the TF programme does too. You are not on the shakes for the rest of you flipping life! Just as long as you want and as long as you are happy losing weight. It teaches you about healthy eating and what foods to avoid, the foods with all the carbs that make you put on weight. [Text deleted by moderator]

Keep up the good work girls you're all doing great!
DH is hoping to lose 3-4 kg this week which will take him down under 100kg! He has NEVER been under 100kgs! Very exciting!!!:smiliedance:

I was just wondering if anyone doing the diet has had any headaches or dizzy spells or other side effects?

Lunar

Hi charlie's mum, My DH is on the diet and he had some headaches and mood swings in the first 2 weeks. This is common and is due to your body going through withdrawals from caffeine and sugar. Once the body has realised it isn't going to get any, all the side effects stop. It wasn't for long though.
I'd recommend it to anyone! Waht have you got to lose except the weight??
Good Luck!

Hey Olivia, sorry i didn't mean to hurt u or anything... :gloomy:
Yes, my family is more healthy than they have ever been before. Because we eat normal balanced foods, we go out and i don't have to worry that after dinner i'll put on weight or smth.... cause Betalife program told me how to balance my food so that i wouldn't have problems again.
Any way sorry again...it was my first day in forums and i couldn't believe when i saw how many woman have problems.... that can be fixed easily if u know how! I guess when u find something that fixes ur own problems u want to help the world too.
:smiliedance:

My family is extremely healthy, it is just MY eating habits that are not! It is the way I eat, not WHAT I eat if anyone gets what I mean ;) And we can go out for dinner too and order a meal, just like anyone else. So far in just two weeks I have learnt alot about just how much we really do need to eat and how to read food labels etc.

Hokey Pokey

06-09-2006, 16:21

I am on my second day, and the headaches have started to ease off a bit.

I stuggle a bit with the two litres of water a day though, i hope that starts to get easier!

Having mushroom chicken tonight for tea! Never thought i would start looking forward to eating vegies!

Well done and yep the water drinking does get easier!!! I have no probs now drinking 2 lt and now am drinking more!!

Well...on impulse, I jumped on the band wagon today!

I had a proper brekky this morning(eggs, tomato, mushrooms and a piece of toast. Oops!), I had a shake for lunch(I didn't even think of joining up til just before lunchtime), so I'm gonna have the soup and some vegies for dinner tonight.

I already have a pounding headache, I didn't realise how much caffiene and sugar I have a day to keep myself functioning!!!

Hi girls

Just wanted to say well done for being such a strong thread. I'm currently on Lite n' Easy and its working great. Some friends of mine have done TF and have gotten great results and been able to maintain it. Its great to see everyone here sticking up for each other. Negative people are only jealous people. I don't know why they bother when its not going to
convince anyone.

Anyway.... best of luck girls hopefully we can all be body beautiful (or close enough!!)when summer arrives :yes:

Hi all
Time for my update....well,since last weeks weigh in I have lost another 800 grams,so that now brings my total loss to 10.4kgs!:smiliedance:
Despite my good intentions earlier in the week,I did fall off the wagon again :o ,but now that my goal is getter closer,I think I'll be back on it permanently now.And at least I didn't gain weight,so phew.

Good luck for everyone else this week! And good on you Starlet for starting too.

Thanks for your support JordansMummy!:) Best of luck on Lite n" Easy.

Congrulations to everyone on their weight loss (however whichever way you have achieved it).

I couldnt afford the Tony Fergusson weight loss plan and just knew that i didnt have the will power to follow through with it.

So ive simply added more exercise to my lifestyle and increased vegetables, fruit.

Ive also taken to eating half of what i used to eat and now use child size plates, bowls etc.

In the last two weeks i have lost 4 and a half kilos.

So i guess its working for me.

07-09-2006, 20:37

Yeah I quite like the shakes too. I have 3 soups left ugh. I wonder if they will let me swap them for shakes lol!!

Vegies I'm not doing too bad with, I just have salad and use the Kraft Free French Dressing(I think that's what it's called).

:wave: S
They will let you swap the shakes I do it all the time, I agree the soups are foul :barf:
I have posted a really yummy recipe on the TF forum if anyone wants to make it, it's not bad if I do say so myself :thumbsup:
BTW I live across the road from Rhonda & Terry White & was a nanny for there grand kids for a few years & she told me that there will be 3 new flavours any day now- Mango,Cherry Coconut & Caramel they are taking the English Toffee away.

Starlet

07-09-2006, 21:14

Hey Cupcake ;)

I will have a look at ur recipe. I just joined the forum(I'm BrokenAngel).

I can't wait for the new flavours, the Cherry Coconut sounds soooo yummy!!!

I'll go and swap my soup ones on Tuesday, thanks hun :)

Hey Starlet, congrats on joining up - you will get used to it in no time! Just check your sald dressing for the carb content, cause i was really surprised that heaps of the no fat ones have terribly high carb values. its really only the paul newman ones that are under 5grams/per 100.

Good luck tomorrow OB's mummy and everyone else, well done Emerald! I knwo what you mean abotu falling off the wago though - i had a little freddo today. felt a bit guilty, but hey - tomorrow is a fresh start!

Thanks everyone for the congrats.:)
I haven't been game enough to try the soups after hearing how :barf: they are....but some people say they are nice???

Does anyone like the wildberry? I think it's awful,I had to throw it away....they should get rid of that one instead of the english toffee,thats not too bad.

Cupcake,I wrote down your meatballs last week,haven't tried them yet,but they sound yummy!

Yes Frazzled,tomorrow is a fresh start...for me too.:) Good luck

Starlet

07-09-2006, 21:59

Frazzled- U had me running to check the carb content on the salad dressing! I've got the Kraft Carb Well French Herbs dressing, it says 0.0g carbs on the back. PHEW! LOL.

Emerald- I have 4 wildberry ones too, gonna try one tomorrow and let u know what I think of it! I loved the banana one. Maybe u should just get one packet of the soup and see if u like it. I don't recommend the chicken one tho! lol I ended up putting all kinda herbs in it to make it taste better!

Cupcake- The recipe sounds yummy, will def give it a go!

Rockett

07-09-2006, 22:14

I am having soups for lunch - no, not the best, but I am getting used to them. The pumpkin and mushroom are my favs. And the espresso shake is yum! If you close your eyes, you can imagine it is a Wendy's shake! Hehe!

To everyone else, keep up the good work - you can do it!!

Hi girls, well done, you are all going so well! But I have a confession to make...oops! I came home in my lunch break today and weighed myself :shame: Just couldn't wait til next week! Only started on Tuesday and have already lost 1.5 kgs! I am stoked! When you see results, it makes it so much easier don't you think? Good luck to all of you for the weekend. This will be my 1st weekend on it, and it will be harder than weekdays I think. Oh well :fingerscrossed:

Butterfliez

08-09-2006, 22:44

It is quite good compared to other diets and costs about $40 for a week. Initially it is a bit more beacuse of registration and book ($25 I think) and the Fibre which you add to the shakes (about $18 I think) Good luck if you join!

I am so proud of him! His weight loss is starting to slow now (but I think it's b/c there isn't much fat left on him for his body to eat!...lol)
He is an inspiration! When he was weighing in, there was a couple reading about it and thinking about going on it and I told them how muc DH weighed before starting the diet and how much he weighs now and they joined then and there!!! They should get hin on a commercial they'd make a fortune just off him!...lol!

Keep up the good work girls!!!

Hi ladies, it is great to hear of all your success stories, TF diet is such a great diet to be on and soooo easy. I have been on the diet 4 and a half weeks and have lost 11 kg's, this weekend has been incredibly hard though cause it is my son's
3rd birthday weekend, making all the stuff yesterday for his party and today Sunday is actually his birthday party so we will see how i go. I havent gone off the wagon once in 4 and a half weeks so this weekend will probably be the first. As long as i have lost a bit on weigh in day. I love the Strawberries and Cream shake the best, not a big fan of the French Vanilla flavour though.

Anyway got to go, Keep up the good work.

I had my first weigh in yesterday. I lost 1.1kg.

I was really happy with that, considering i had actually only been on it for five days.

I have been sticking it is really well, although it is so hard atm. DH is in hospital and it would be so easy just to grab something from the vending machine.

I think losing that weight was a good motivation for me. It will ensure that i do get a salad from the cafeteria as opposed to the big box of chips that i could have killed someone for!:laughing:

Hope everyone is doing well!:fingerscrossed:

Jakes mum, BIG congrats for that weightloss in only 5 days!!!! Is your DH alright? Hope it is nothing serious and he comes home soon. :hugs:

I have my weigh in tomorrow or Tuesday (hoping I get time in my lunch break tomorrow) so :fingerscrossed: I have one thing to say though...I hate weekends! Arrgh! It is too tempting when you are at home. TF is much easier when you are working...I cheated yesterday and had some corn chips and a couple of banana lollies. Now I am beating myself up over it.

Hey, who here is exercising as well? My 12 y.o. niece just joined up on the kids program and they told her she didn't need to exercise :rolleyes: Wouldn't you think they would encourage it?

I am hoping he will be home in a few days. He had a bad case of pneumonia and cant seem to kick it, so we will have to wait and see.

Exercise......... I do a yoga class and water aerobics class a week. After my operation, i will definately be getting back into walking.

They dont seem to push exercise on TF which i guess is good for some people, but i would definately be encouraging everyone.

I have never been so heavy in my life and I can't believe how easy it is. Just don't eat until tea time and then mainly veggies. Family holiday this week, intend to stick to it. :fingerscrossed:

10-09-2006, 21:37

Okay guys

I totally fell off the wagon today and i am so angry with myself.

I have been put on this diet because i am going in for surgery and steroid therapy, so i really need to shed a few kilos first. I accept that and was doing fine, but now with hubby in hospital, and my son staying with the inlaws i am totally miserable. DH isnt coming home until tuesday and neither is DS.

I had a huge bowl of pasta and a garlic bread for dinner, and the stupid thing is, i dont feel any better. Food does not cure lonliness!

Anyway, thanks for letting me vent. Back on the straight and narrow tomorrow!

Hope everyone else is going well:fingerscrossed:

Jakes Mum, I know it must be hard for you right now, sounds like you have alot going on. Ok so you had one meal that didn't go to plan, cmon pick yourself up, dust yourself off. You can do this. You have done so well all ready!. Tomorrow is another day another beginning, one meal is not going to ruin your diet as long as you try and focus on tomorrow.

Think of how fantastic your going to feel with each loss, think how proud your hubby and son is going to be of their beautiful mother achieving her goals. When you start to feel moments of weekness try and picture this.

Don't be too hard on yourself, we all have them, its what you do after them that counts!

Fingers crossed for me, my first weigh in tomorrow on this diet. Im scared! lol

How very supportive. Threads like this need more caring and supportive people such as yourself!!

None of us should give up, we can always use this place as a source of insiration and motivation.

:hugs: for Jakes mum. I hope everything sorts out very soon.

...AND....

BIG :hugs: for hamamasfriend for being such a nice person and being encouraging!!

Hope everyones weigh in's went well,I only lost an extra 0.4 kg. total now 2.4kg. That will teach me to keep falling off the wagon. :o

Oh well only another 4.8kg to go now.

14-09-2006, 23:25

can i ask how much the TF diet costs? I did lite'n'easy in the past which was excellent (dropped 2 dress sizes in around 10 weeks, didnt weigh though) but it is way too expensive now that we only have one income, so im looking for something new to try this time around!

cheers

Starlet

15-09-2006, 20:59

Hey alanandemsmum,

I hope u go and post in ur weight loss journal tonight! I have done 2 in mine for u to read hehe.

mum2charli - It costs about $40 a week for the shakes(u have 2 a day), then u have to buy ur protein(chicken, fish, meat) and vegies. The website is www.tonyferguson.com it has everything on there!

Anyway, I haven't been around for a while, I haven't really been trying to be honest, there's so much going on that I wasn't sticking to this 100%. But that all changed after I chatted with alanandemsmum last night about it.

I haven been 100% on board today, I even went and worked out at the gym for an hour. So I'm feeling really good! I will start today as my first official day and go and have my weigh in next Friday!

17-09-2006, 11:41

I'm a bit slack to read the millions of pages on this thread, sorry. But is there anyone doing it who only have a little to lose - eg: 5 kilos? I know when you don't have much to lose it's harder because your body is pretty close to what it should be anyway.

I've been considering doing it, but a friend at work (who could do with losing maybe 5 kilos) has been doing it for weeks and has lost nothing.

Maghan, I'm not too sure as I have 25kg to lose, but I'm sure if you go to the TF website and check out their forums, I'm sure someone there can relate!

Anyhow, according to MY scales it says I have lost 1.5kg! Woohoo!! I dunno how accurate they are, but it made me feel fantastic today! YAY! Hope everyone else is doing good!!

17-09-2006, 12:47

Hey Maghan

i did tf for 3 weeks, wanted to lose 5kgs. I put on nearly 30kgs eith bub, over 18 months and many many different diets i lost about 25kgs. But then i got stuck at 65kgs for a good 4 months so gave tf a go. I lost 3.5kgs over 3 weeks- did it very strictly with loads of water.

So it kinda gave my body another jolt.

I have now gone back to lite n easy and have lost another kg so pretty much at my goal now.

So in short, yep it worked for my little weight loss. Good luck if u decide to give it a go :D

Hi,

I've just started the TF diet. One week in and I've lost 1.5 kilos without even sticking 100% to the diet. I'm now even more motivated to stick with it.

Unfortunately I'm going on holidays for 8 days starting Thursday and will probably be eating out a bit, but I've packed my sachets and hope to be as good as I can be.

20-09-2006, 00:59

I have looked into the Tony Ferguson diet, but there are 2 problems at the moment, one, i have coeliac's disease (intolereance to gluten) so i can only have two shakes that are actually gluten free ones, and i am also BF at the moment. I would love to go on the TF diet once i am finished BF, but am also TTC at the moment. So i am glad that i read this thread to see actual people losing weight on it, and when i can i would like to be able to do it aswell. Keep going girls, you are all doing awesome!! :D

I'm on day 3 of my second round on TF. Because I lose weight very quickly Ive alreayd lost 2.2kg (probably just water but hey!) Im past that headache stage and I am feeling great!

I have lost 3.9kgs in the three weeks I have been going. Not to bad considering I had some really off days whilst on holidays and not to much exercise.

Is it only me, or is it really, really easy to stick to?

Starlet

21-09-2006, 20:16

Hey everyone!

Had my first weigh in today and lost 2.6kg!! Woohoo!!

And 2cm off my waist as well!

It's not just u sopolicha, I think it's real easy to stick to as well!!

Rockett

21-09-2006, 23:35

Congrats on all the losses this week!:yelclap:

Sopolicha,I found it really easy to stick to for the first 9 weeks,then it all went down hill.
The last few weeks,I'v been having major cravings for all the things I shouldn't be eating.I still had quite good losses though...until today....

Girls,I gained half a kilo this week.:eek: But I lost 1 cm off my waist???

It's all my own fault,I know that,I just need a big kick up the bum to get back on the wagon(hmm how many times have I said that!) ...and this half kilo is it.

So,from now,I am back on the diet with a vengence! No more excuses!

How's everyone else going?

Frazzled

22-09-2006, 22:43

Hi guys, have been lurking but too chicken to post for a while. I have fallen off the wagon big time. I havent been to weigh for two weeks now. I was 'naughty' on fathers day and just havent been able to pick myself back up after that. Which makes me really angry at myself cause I was doing so well. But, I am not in a very 'happy' place at the moment and I think I am resorting to my old friend I like to call comfort eating. I havent put any weight back on, but I dont think I have lost any either.

But like they say,
tomorrow is a new day, and I will start afresh! And seeing how amazingly you guys are doing, i know i can get back there!

Hi everyone! :wave:

Well I am on Day 3 of my TF weightloss journey.... So far I am finding it very easy to stick to (although I am missing my daily can of Coke Zero :( ). Every shake I have had has been yummy. Today though I am going to try one of the soups - trying to decide between the Roast Pumpkin or the Cream of Chicken....

Anyway when I weighed in on wednesday afternoon I weighed 69.4kgs so I need to lose 12-15kgs to get into my healthy weight range!

Good luck to everyone else on the journey - it is great having a support network as this!

23-09-2006, 12:34

Tylers mum- I drink like 3L of water a day and end up on the toilet every 10mins! I find it easier to drink if I drink from a water bottle as opposed to a glass....not sure why. I also add a little diet cordial- no sugar or carbs. It makes it alot easier. U lose more weight when u drink the 2L so I stick to it!

Hi Everyone just wondering how all were doing
I weighed in yesterday and lost 800gm ( now my total loss is 10.2kg in 6 weeks)
I got an expresso shake yesterday to try it and man its ferral, i think i will stick to the fruity ones now. It must be i havent had a coffee for donkeys???

Percy

26-09-2006, 08:35

I only lost 400grams this week. So ive lost 3kg in 3 weeks.

Im pretty happy with that, as the whole point of this diet was that i would maintain my weight while on some pretty strong medication. I wasnt expecting to lose anything.

I dont mind the esppresso! I think maybe im so desperate for coffee im willing to settle for anything. The only flavour i cant stand is the english toffee:barf:

How is everyone else going?

~Chick79~

26-09-2006, 08:44

Just wanted to say congratulatons on all the weight you guys have lost hopefully i can as well when i finely feel better:wave:

natasha

01-10-2006, 20:41

Im wondering something about this diet. I have been reading up on it because i want to lose weight. But this is what it sounds like to me;

You cut out loads of fat and bad stuff from your diet, sugar/additives/caffine etc.......you cut down your portion sizes, you have snacks of fruit and healthy stuff like that .............and you have some of their shakes. And you exercise to see maximum results.

Now, if I did all those things EXCEPT drink their shakes (that I pay $140 plus a month for), I'd lose loads of weight anyway wouldn't i??!!!

So why do you pay the $140-$200 a month for some shakes that you could get the same nutrients from say a bowl of fruit and veg?

If you did all the other stuff it tells you to do , you would loose the weight anyway wouldn't you????:confused:

Dont mean to sound offensive, but im trying to justify it to myself.:thumbsup:

Lirael

01-10-2006, 20:43

ok im not an expert and have not done this diet but i think the shakes are to fill you up so ur not hungry as well as providing vitamins etc but i could be wrong:p

Cupcake

01-10-2006, 20:52

The 2 shakes a day are meal replacements you have a piece of fruit in between morning shake & lunch shake also at lunch you have a salad or a vege soup & then another piece of fruit mid afternoon then you have a protein & vege meal for dinner.
The shakes are full of nutrients & they taste just like a real milkshake :thumbsup:

sopolicha

01-10-2006, 21:01

Natasha, obviously I can't speak for anyone else but for me it is this simple. Don't eat anything during the day bar two pieces of fruit and the shakes. At night have a serve of meat and a salad or veggies.

There is no buggering around with points, counting kjs or anything. Just don't eat.

Starlet

01-10-2006, 22:53

TF works for me because I get too tempted to have bad things especially for breakfast. I can never be bothered cooking something healthy for brekky(I tried it on SureSlim, god was that a disaster!), especially when I have to get myself ready, the kids ready, feed them cereal or toast and cook my brekky, take them to daycare then drive over 30 mins to get to work by 8.30am. So half the time I would go and get HJs or Maccas.

Once I lose the weight that I want to, I will drop the lunchtime shake and replace it with the type of protein and vegies that I have at dinner time and once I get that under control I will drop the brekky one and replace it with something quick and healthy.

I love food TOO much and I have to find a way to control myself and slowly teach myself how to eat healthy. On TF I never feel hungry.

Terrible2+1cutie

02-10-2006, 06:14

I like TF because i never feel hungry either, before i used to either skip breakfast or grab something quick and easy to eat cause with 2 kids by the time i got them breakfast, dressed and jury to a fight of a morning it is morning tea tiime at least this way the shakes are easy to repair and knowing that they are yummy makes them more exciting to drink. My biggest problem is i love food too and chocolate and chips etc tempt me sooooo much.

:hugs: Hi everyone :wave:

I wondered if it would be ok if I joined you on this thread? I've just begun the TF diet this morning and I would soooo love some encouragement.

You guys seem to be all doing so well on it, and that in itself is great to read!

I need to lose 26 kilo, but as I wasn't even that weight before children, its probably a little unrealistic. If I could lose 20, I'd be rapt!

So far I've had the strawberry shake for brekky and the pumpkin soup for lunch, and to my amazement, I've enjoyed both. Great start!

Unfortunately I'm one of those people who live to eat, not eat to live. Which is why I'm in this boat, well, that and not having a thyroid, which doesn't help. :rolleyes:

Anyhoo... I look forward to sharing this journey with you.

Ive been on it for three weeks and have lost three kilos.

I am pretty happy with that. My doctor put me on this diet as a way of maintaining my weight while going through hormone and steroid therapy. So i am stoked that i have lost any weight.

Good luck with this week!:fingerscrossed:

Have just started this this morning......had a banana shake (with the fibre) and a chromium tab at morning tea......had a nice salad with a little whole egg mayo for lunch, and a mocha half frozen shake!!! Delicious!!! Have had about 1.4 L of my water so far so that's on track too.......but - here comes the afternoon which is always my down fall!!! But :fingerscrossed: I can be strong!!! Might try another chromium at arvo tea too......It's good to read all the success so far in this thread!!!

I am hopeing to lose at least 6 kg in 4 weeks, and that would justify me being able to keep paying for the program iykwim, (my mum's offered to pay for the second month!!! :smiliedance: ).......

I can't wait for next weeks weigh in!!!

Must be a great feeling! I'm so looking forward to losing that much weight, have to admit, patience has never been my forte. :rolleyes:

I had the chocolate shake this morning which I thought was 'ok', and the chicken soup for lunch which I lovvvvved. Yummo!

Water is almost gone for the day (yay!). So day two almost down. According to the website, that ketosis (sp?) thing should kick in tomorrow... wonder how that will affect my moods, if at all. :laughing: Maybe I should forewarn hubby. :eek:

Hey all!

Hi to everyone starting out :)

I can't remember if I wrote about it or not. I'm currently on week 3, and I've lost 2.8kg. On the weekend I went on a junk food binge. It was awful :( And I felt like total c**p. So Sunday I was back on 100% and I have been as good as gold since. I spent a grueling 2 1/2 hours at the gym this morning. 45 mins on the treadmill, 15 on the bike, did some weights and then a 1 hour swiss ball class :)

I am meant to weigh in on Thursday but have to work, so I guess I will go Friday morning!

I just have to wait for this weekend to be over (big weekend on the drinks :laughing: ) then i'm getting started. I have been tho, this week slowly cutting out Carbs and all the bad stuff so i doesn't come as a shock to the system once i start.

Good Luck All and Cant Wait To Join You :smiliedance:

I will start tomorrow :fingerscrossed: I have to lose 12-15kgs by Christmas, damned if I am going to spend another summer hot & OW!!
Go ladies GO everyone is doing so well & tomorrow night I will be on here bragging that I am finally back on the wagon :yes:

By the way...

I know that it is $40 a week which includes the shakes and weigh ins but how is your food bill? Is it cheaper since you have to cut out alot of things?

A friend said she would like to do it too but doesn't think they could afford it compared to going to WW for $18 wk.

tyler's mum

03-10-2006, 20:27

03-10-2006, 21:36

i was wondering what everyone cooks for dinner:confused: i dont eat red meat, so ive been having chicken or fish with steam vegs every nite, im looking for some idea on what i can cook thats different then just haveing the same things every nite:rolleyes:

Starlet

03-10-2006, 22:50

My food bill has stayed the same pretty much and I always have more meat, etc than I need! But I no longer buy chips, cool drink, etc that we used to spend a bomb on!

As for dinners, I'm addicted to NOtatoes...just steam some cauliflower, add a bit of crushed garlic and a tiny bit of philly cheese. Mash it all together and I swear you wouldn't know that it's not mashed potatoes.

Also cupcake gave me a delish recipe:

Chicken Meatballs
Mix together in a bowl chicken mince,1 egg white(i did not use the yolk to reduce the fat content),2 chicken stock cubes,onion,mushrooms,capsicum,broccoli & basil (& any other allowed vege of your choice,all diced into small pieces) mix it all together roll into small balls & place on a baking tray lined with baking paper, cook in a moderate oven until golden brown.

I then took out my allowed serving of protein for the day(froze the rest)& served them on a bed of shredded lettuce & put a small amount of Continental creamy chicken with mushroom sauce on top(heated in the microwave) & it was delish!!!

You could put any allowed sauce on top or even some soy sauce as I found they tasted very much like a dim sim

Also, does anyone else have a weight loss journal/blog??? I have one at http://starlet83.livejournal.com if any of you decide to do one there let me know so I can add ya and we can motivate each other! :)

this is day 2 for me as I said and the digital scales were down 1.4kg!!! :eek: Hopefully that stays off!!! - I thought I would have gone up a bit actually cause I drank more than the 2 litres and had extra diet softdrink plus the shakes so I thought I would be water logged for sure!!!

Good job Beth!!! :thumbsup:

Cause I thought I would be exactly like that cause I normally am, but I didn't have a headache, and took 1 chromium at morning tea and another at arvo tea and was surprisingly fine....... will be interesting to see how I go over the next few days though!

Good morning my weight loss buddies! :wave:

A big congrats to everyone on here, you're all doing so well !!

Tis my 3rd day today, and the scales this morning say I've lost 1.5kg, which I'm over the moon about. I have tried everything to lose weight, and nothing else has worked, not even starving myself. So despite the fact that I realise this is probably 95% fluid, it's still an awesome step in the right direction.

I found that the headaches were starting to set in yesterday afternoon, but drinking more water seem to ease that. I have also experienced small amounts of dizziness, has anyone else had that?

Starlet - that chicken recipe sounds delish, I may have to give it a go. The cauliflower idea sounds awesome too!

I whipped up a chicken stirfy that I then divided into three nights meals, which was simply diced chicken breast, red, yellow & green capsicum, a small amount of carrot and bean shoots. I didn't add any sauce to it, as I figured I could on each night decide what flavour I was in the mood for. Monday night I stir-fried it with a combo of chicken stock, soy, garlic & a dash of red wine vinegar. It was very very yummy!

Last night I basted my eye fillet steak in worcestershire sauce & mustard. YUMMO! Apart from missing my potato terribly, it doesn't feel like I'm dieting at all!

Anyone else have some good ideas to help us pretend we're not really dieting? :laughing:

Cheekychops

04-10-2006, 14:06

I'm having my shake for tea instead of lunch today so I've just had a delicious huge lunch consisting of:

Ingahm chicken breast with herbs
Steamed Spinach with mixed herbs and salt
Steamed zucchini with paprika
Steamed Cauliflower pureed with a dash of crushed ginger, garlic, chilli, lime and mayonaise (this was absolutely divine! I usually hate cauliflower!)
And some mushrooms!!!

Very full - and just realised I forgot my chromium tablets at morning tea, so will take them now.....

Dinner out tonight but just at my mum and dad's so I will just have salad and my shake (they are having salad and meatloaf).......

So far so good!

Was down another 800g this morning so at start of day 3 that's down a total of 2.2kg!!! Hope it stays off - and goes down even more!!! Had Vanilla last night - yum, but strawberries and cream this morning not so flash!!! I have been lucky not too have headaches so far - had a niggle yesterday but it went away fine so that's good.....

Cupcake - I hate cauliflower usually too, but look in my last post how I had it yesterday!!! It was delish!!! But how do you make those jelly snakes???

Beth - are you drinking all your water??

Today is my fourth day as well !!

Weight Loss: 2kg :smiliedance:

Yesterday I discovered that I really don't like the Asian Curry soup. Yucky!:barf:

I won't be ordering that one again.

I cheated last night for the first time though, which I'm very disappointed with myself about. I had a spoonful of scrambled egg with my dinner. I just couldn't resist it! Afterwards I felt so pathetic for having no willpower, and also scared to death that it was gonna make me put on weight ( although i realise this doesnt sound rational).

My mum started the TF diet today too, and she is gonna cook dinner for me tonight! :yelclap: Its great to have support! Hubby has been great too, hes getting up at 6.30am with me so he can sit next to me while I'm on the treadmill. Then he gets my breakfast shake ready for me when I'm done. How sweet is that?! Love my hubby. :hugs:

How is everyone else going? Any more weigh ins to report?

Oh - I'm a bit cranky too cause DH said he is going to hide the scales if I keep weighing myself everyday :( .... he doesn't think it's good and that I should just do it once a week!!! :thumbsdown:

Beth - are you drinking all your water??

Yep, I sure am :thumbsup: The pain has stopped today so hopefully it was just my body changing and adjusting to the programme :)

Cheekychops - haha! I have just asked hubby to buy me a NEW set of digital scales, so that I dont have to guesstimate when its 'between lines'.

I think I'm gonna try to weigh myself every day for the first two weeks, then change my routine to once a week.

I think when the weight loss slows, I will be too discouraged if I get on every day not seeing any change.

Beth - Sounds like we're on the same path!

Sounds like everyone is going well.

Im not due to be weighed until saturday, and even though i have been really good this week, im dreading it. The last two weeks i have been the lady hasnt been very nice. I tried to brush it off, but last week i only lost 400g ( keep in mind that i am on very heavy steroids) and she told me that it didnt even count.

She offered not advice or encouragement, or even asked what i was doing wrong, and i didnt think my medical issue was any of her business, so i just left. But when i got home discovered that she had written both my weight and waist amount down wrong, and had credited my vip points to someone elses account.

I feel really irritated and put down, but im not sure what i should do. She is the only person that does the weigh ins on a saturday, and i just dont want her to do it anymore.

I thought the whole point of paying the money to get weighed was also to get support too!

Sorry for the long vent.:o

AngelHope

05-10-2006, 13:01

Ugh!!!!!! Why do people like that even work in that field ???

If she can't be encouraging, then she should go away and let someone else do it! Grrrrr that makes me so mad.

Of course steroids hinders weight loss, and you're doing a magnificent job in the face of adversity! Imho, I think you should be really proud of yourself!

I'm actually kinda glad I only signed up over the net so I don't have to deal with people like that :mad:

Cupcake - how do you make those jelly snakes??

JELLY SNAKES
1/2 cup of hot water
1 packet of diet jelly crystals
1 packet of gelatine
Make jelly & then add gelatine
pour onto a dinner plate
Allow to set & then cut into thin strips like snakes
You can eat them all day long, they have no carbs

Some Gelatine comes in single packs in a box & some comes in one big bag it is roughly 1 tablespoon of Gelatine, you can play around until u get the consistency you want :thumbsup:

Thanks Nikki!! They sound Yummo!

Great - thanks Cupcake!!!

Jakes mum - pfft to her!!!! :thumbsdown: You are doing wonderfully and you know what??? Every gram counts so next time make sure you tell her - actually yes 400g does count, that's almost half a kilo!!! Maybe you could send an email on the tony ferguson diet about her!!! We need support not smart alec remarks!!! Keep up the great job!!!

Well, I had english toffee shake tonight and it was yummmmmmm!!! :thumbsup: Not feeling hungry, although was very hard to resist the kids pretzels and spag bol......but I did!!! Very proud of myself....

AngelHope - my DH bought me my scales - new fang-dangle body fat measuring ones that do your water %, fat %, muscle % etc etc....... but still doesn't want me on them every day!! I told him in a couple of weeks when the loss slows down, I will just do it once a week - hopefully they are there when I wake up tomorrow!!! :o

jakes mum, 400g down is STILL a loss, that's only 100g off a tub of margarine!!!

I had my weigh in today and I lost 500g, I was a little bummed, but it was my fault for having the junk food binge on the weekend. I won't be doing that again in a hurry!!!

hey everyone:wave: sorry to hijack this thread i was just wondering do you have to exercise while on TF? like, you lose weight but where does it go? will I still be flabby etc?? and how fast would i see results?? i would like to lose 24 kilos but am worried about it being more muscle/ fluid than actual fat that i lose KWIM?
thanks for any help you can give:D

Cel~
The way the program works is that it changes your metabolism so your body eats it's fat stores and NOT it's muscles stores. Exercise: just walk half an hour everyday, if not everyday then try to MOST days.
My DH has lost 25 kilos in 11 weeks! They are talking about putting him in an add or something.

DH says he never gets hungry and the weight loss each week keeps him motivated.

I am going to start it in a couple of weeks to lose 10 kilos.

Hope this helps.

Gooooood morning ladies!

Well, I'm gobsmacked. I've now lost 2.5kg in four days. Things like this just don't happen to me. I've battled with weight all my post-children life, and I read stories about people losing weight quickly at the start of diets, but its something I've personally not experienced til now.

Hubby told me he was proud of me this morning. I felt so guilty, coz as I said to him.. I haven't done anything yet! :laughing:

He can be proud of me after I lose ten kilos, and even more so when I lose twenty :yes: I know its going to be so much harder to keep going, and be strong when the weight loss slows down. Still, I will try to keep in mind how great I feel at the moment, and how I have so much more energy than I did, and how I actually wake up with a smile on my face knowing that I ate healthily the day before.

Starlet - Losing half a kilo after having a junkfood binge is an awesome achievement, you must have seriously been good the rest of the week?

Cheeky - Those scales sound awesome! May I ask where you got them from? I don't blame you for wanting to get on them every day, they sound like a fun toy! I'd probably be wanting to get on them several times a day :laughing:

Beth - congratulations!!! Excellent going! Size 11 jeans... I remember those....... haha!

Ooops I'm rambling again, sorry for my long posts.

Take Care everyone and happy dieting!

Hey if you look way back in the thread you will see where I started.... Stuck to it for about 3 days :laughing:

Anyways so I found the packets again and I am re-starting tomorrow.

This is really hard I find to stick to I am the Jumk Food Queen!!

Oh well Im gonna try harder this time, hopefully stick to it for about 3 weeks thats how long it should take if I excercise to reach my goal weight.

Starlet

06-10-2006, 21:29

Haha, yep, I was very strict with myself after that binge, my body would have just kicked over into ketosis mode on Tuesday, so not bad at all.

I swappedmy meals around today and had my shake for dinner and meal at lunchtime...remind me never to do this again, I am STARVING!! LOL. I might have a small salad with a small tin of light tuna, that should get me through the night without resorting to eating the kids choc biscuits!!

Chicken Meatballs
Mix together in a bowl chicken mince,1 egg white(i did not use the yolk to reduce the fat content),2 chicken stock cubes,onion,mushrooms,capsicum,broccoli & basil (& any other allowed vege of your choice,all diced into small pieces) mix it all together roll into small balls & place on a baking tray lined with baking paper, cook in a moderate oven until golden brown.

hey starlet,, im goin to try this recipe i was just wonder what u do with the stock cubes:confused: may seem like a silly question but arent u meant to put them in water??? plz let me know i wanna try it sounds yummy
