Cambridge Diet part II

stormcloudgathering

Diet coke is a no-no if you're planning to do Sole Source. Call as many consultants as you wish; have a good long chat with them and go with the one you get on with. It's likely to be a long relationship!
At this stage I would drink nothing other than still or sparkling water, black decaff tea or black decaff coffee. Be careful with other sorts of teas like Earl Grey or the fruit ones. They have citric acid in them which will slow down your ketosis.
Good luck!

Thank you, I have spoken to a consultant (she seems nice) and am going to see her tomorrow, OMG I hope I am strong enough to do this! Think if I post my weight and hopefully losses this will help, so fingers crossed I start on Friday, which is my day off, then off weekend, so hopefully will be focused when I go back to work Monday (lots of thin people that eat cake!). Will also have to look for things to do in the evening NOT eat, any good cd forums?

Oh yeah, forgot to say someone thought I was pregnant at work today, "is this your first baby" which is good in one hand because I am nearly 40 with my oldest being 15 years old, and she clearly thought I was younger, but bad as I am not pregnant just fat!!!! lol

Hello Everyone, Im back on the cd wagon week 2 for me, weigh in on friday morning. Ive re-started and restarted a gazillion times but somehow this time Im in a better place, not to boast too soon but Im finding it a doddle .. .. I think its because its summer and ketosis makes me feel so cold, so not getting the "I feel like Ive got flu" feeling and the "no matter how many layers I wear I cant get warm" feelings which are no doubt a help .. Plus also Ive come to the conclusion that this is the only diet that works for me bar actually starving myself .. :rotfl:so I had best get on with it .. acceptance is a great thing :undecided ..

so onwards and inwards for me .. how are you all getting on?

Well Done Kutiekat, I am also in the same place as you, been tonight to collect my products first day tomorrow, so fingers crossed I can get through first week, then should be easier.

Must keep the FAITH!!! lol

Im sure youll do fine Twinkle, just keep yourself busy, early nights if all else fails thats how I got by first time .. the first few days youll feel hungry but once ketosis kicks in you dont feel hungry at all .. you will however have a bit of a battle with your head telling you you should just have a little bit of this and that but dont do it, if you do you end up feeling ridiculously hungry .. just remember after the initial water loss every day is roughly half a pound weight loss .. get yourself in a routine with it and its plain sailing .. can be a tad tedious at times but once you lose dress sizes (approx every 18 lbs) youll get a boost ..

How much do you need to lose? I had roughly 5 stone which should take me to around the end of November .. been totally angelic so far .. go me :T .. 2nd weigh in tomorrow

Kutiekat

Weigh in 2 .. and Ive lost a stone in total in the first two weeks .. go me !!!!!!!!

Hope everyone else is having just as much success
