Not sure I'm in the right place...this is my first post.
Hi folks, my name is sheddy. Glad there is a UK specific thread/forum for this as I was losing patience with trawling through all the USA posts and not finding out answers to my specic questions.
Firstly:

Q1. On Saturday I was cooking prawns for my kids and myself and couldn't find any curry powder so realising that they used to like prawns cooked with tomato puree/ketchup, I decided to do it that way. Tottally forgetting I was 3 days from the end of my 2-week induction, I ate the prawns with brocolli, asparagus shoots and salad while they had it with rice and potatos. I'm sure I'm not allowed to have ketchup...doea that mean I need to do the whole induction again?

Q2. Reading the book, I noticed that we must avoid meat cured with sodium nitrates etc. To my knowledge that includes hams, bacon etc. I have not eaten any ham/bacon since day 1 of the induction because of the above fact...am I doing the right thing? Also are we allowed to eat sausages...I'd love to but most/all I have come across have breadcrumbs in them!

Q3. Also I have been very hungry on most days and to curb my hunger I have been either eating cheese, drinking water or just having more food....and I doing the right thing?
