Hmm 5lb is a little much for mash..  How long you been on CS?  Are you due on?

oooo, thats a point!! been on it just over a month

xx xx

Ok well if you are due on, your body holds and retains water, i for example gain 2lb during my TOTM and as soon as i finish, it drops straight off.

And naughty you for having mash...it's a complex carb so the body takes longer to burn it off, also hindering all your hard work and weight loss...naughty!! :)

Have you had a look at the maintenance part of the diet in the CS programme guide?

It talks you through reintroducing carbs into your diet, which types of carbs to go for, their GI value etc.

Just don't go mad when you are on holiday, eat sensibly (says the one going to two parties this weekend) and get straight back on the diet when you come back.

Just remember potatoes have a high GI and as chips are also high in fat and salt - all contributers to putting on weight.

Good luck and have fun on your holiday.

You can eat normally, but think about how you can make your favourite foods healthier, For example, wholemeal pitta base, tomoatoe puree and veg, no cheese, and theres a healthier pizza. 

You will also find its tastier and cheaper, and probably not much longer than waiting for a takeaway. I have just started the plan today, however, when i finish it, i plan to make my own versions of takeaway food when i get the cravings, rather than being lazy as i have before. 

Good luck
