The New You Diet Review – Weight loss result

I’ve been on a very low calorie, meal replacement diet this week, sent from the lovely people at
New You.
You can read my first post with the details about day 1, here and days 2, 3 and 4 here
DAY 5

Breakfast – Chocolate hazelnut bar, black coffee and 600ml flavoured water

9am – 600ml flavoured water

Lunch – Mushroom soup, black coffee and 600ml flavoured water

Afternoon – 600ml flavoured water

Dinner – Country cottage pie, black coffee and 600ml flavoured water – The cottage pie and the vegetable chili are my favourite meals. They both feel like I’m having a proper meal which helps when the family is sitting down to one!

Supper – Mint chocolate shake and 600ml flavoured water – I warmed the shake up and it was just like a hot chocolate treat at bedtime 🙂

THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS

I woke earlier than usual for a Sunday morning and for some reason, I seem to have lots of energy. Instead of slobbing on the sofa for the day in my PJs, watching tv with the kids, I have the urge to get showered and get out in the garden.
It’s only 5 past 9 and this is unheard of for me!
I’ve already had 600ml of water and I’ve just sent Kaycee to refill my bottle for me 🙂 The water flavouring has really helped me reach my water goals. I’m not sure I’d find it so easy to drink 4 litres of plain of water a day.
I plan on keeping up my water intake after this week now I know I can do it.

2.30pm – I actually did spend the morning in the garden 🙂 I took down an old fence that was rotten and sorted out loads of rubbish. There’s still lots more to do but I feel great because I went and made a start after putting it off on a daily basis!

The afternoon didn’t go as well. I started to feel hungry around 4 pm so I drank more water. I didn’t want to have my next packet until everyone else had their dinner which was going to be around 6 pm. Being hungry put me in a grumpy mood!

Afternoon – 600ml flavoured water


Dinner – Spicy noodle nosh, black coffee and 600ml flavoured water

THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS

It’s been another good day 🙂 I’ve been on plan 100% and went over my 4 litres of water. I did wake with a headache this morning but I get them quite often and don’t think it’s anything to do with the plan. I think it’s down to my pillow as my neck hurts when I get the headaches after sleeping. I must hurry and get a new one!

 

DAY 7

Breakfast – Chocolate cream cookie bar, black coffee and 600ml flavoured water – I saved the chocolate cream cookie bar for last as I thought it was going to be the nicest but I should have saved the hazelnut one till last! It was ok and had a crumbly cookie base with the creamy bit on top but I prefer the chewy bars. It still left a slight aftertaste though.

Mid-morning – 600ml flavoured water

Lunch – Mushroom soup, black coffee and 600ml flavoured water


Afternoon – 600ml flavoured water


Dinner – Vegetable chilli, black coffee and 600ml flavoured water


Supper – Creamy chocolate shake and 600ml flavoured water 

THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS

My final day is done 😀

I’ve found the whole week much easier than I thought it was going to be. I thought I’d be craving food by day 3 but I was totally fine.
If I could afford this plan every week, I’d be extremely tempted to stick with it. From what I’ve seen from the people on the Facebook group, if you stick to the plan 100%, you can average around a stone a month weight loss.
I have 12 stone to lose and it would be wonderful to be able to get to my target by this time next year but the cost of the plan on top of the groceries I still have to buy for the rest of the family isn’t feasible for me at the moment.
If I were single I’d definitely switch from grocery shopping to New You shopping!

The Facebook group you can join when you’re on the plan really helped keep me on track this week. Everyone is extremely supportive and I think they’d all agree that being a member of the group is one of the most important factors to being successful.
There’s always someone there to give you whatever you need, be that encouragement, sympathy, a pat on the back or even a kick up the bum!

DAY 8 – RESULTS 
START WEIGHT – 23 stone 11.5lb
WEIGHT TODAY – 23 stone 0.5lb
TOTAL LOSS – 11lb
I’m really happy with my loss but it’s annoying that just 1 more pound would have seen me back in the 22 stone category! Never mind, there’s always next week 🙂
I’d like to say thank you to the New You team and everyone in the group who helped me this week. If things change, you’ll be seeing me again 😉
