Thank you Louisepp for your excellent advice and well done on your massive weightloss and maintenance for 2 years now.

Good to see you here Linda, and thanks.

Everyone was sure that I would put the weight back on (lost 8 stone). Ha! Wasn't going to give them the satisfaction.:p

Sounds corny, but I feel like a different person. I feel healthier (obviously), can move better, even skipped up the road with my friends little girl yesterday:D

I've spent my lifetime dieting and I was determined that cambridge was going to be my last diet. So far, so good. I have not dieted in the last 2 years, just eat sensibly what I want, when I want. The Cambridge diet was the only one that took me to my goal. It was the only diet that got me passed all those demoralising plateaus that I had with other diets.

My doctor was gobsmaked with how quickly my outrageously high cholesterol level went down.

Life is good:T (and no, I don't work for Cambridge)

Good to hear yet another success story!!! Well done Louise!!


It is quite amazing also to see how fast the BMI goes down too - which is brilliant!

I have a blood test on Thursday so we shall see what the hospital have to say about that! I don't need to tell them I am doing CD do I?

You should let them know you are on a VLCD and take SS booklet with you. The volume and viscosity of your blood changes when on a VLCD.

Well, gang I am on day 1.

11 stone 1. could really do with being 8.5-9 really so not loads.

Had a shake this morning, surprisingly im not starving yet.

Although i do feel rather sloshy from all this water.....

It does have its benefits - all this water makes your skin glow!!

From the end of Week 1 of Cambridge my friends (who don't know about CD yet) have been asking me what I have been using on my face because I am 'glowing with health'!!!! It is all the water!

You know when you have been abroad on holiday and it is hot so you drink loads of bottled water? You come home and your skin is fantastic. We tend to say that it is all the sun-tan cream but it is the water!

The basic 2.25 litres of water is the daily recommended for everybody, not just for CD yet how many people actually drink anywhere near that?
