Cambridge Diet

Absoutely, each to thier own!

I think ANY diet that does not take into account our own preferences to a certain degree, then you are going to fall off the wagon.

Besides whos to tell you what you can and cant do in your own bathroom!

Inch loss is more important than weight loss - so whilst your scales may show no loss at all, there may be inch loss on the tape-measure!!1

Just a quickie to settle the scales issue once and for all! Just re-reading the cambridge site and it says

You can indulge in all your normal activities but you don't overdo it. If you feel tired, then take a rest. You should weigh yourself every day at the same time, usually in the morning. You will be delighted with your progress and be very excited with it. This is the real motivation that makes you want to continue.

I dont have scales but lost a few inches today :j

Woried now as Ive been advised to AAM, im not hungry at all. And wonder whether i should I have been told to do so as Im about to have a load of inoculations for my holiday in 6 weeks.

Oh I dont know

Best to ask your CDC perhaps? Or your GP - he would know.

Hope all goes well with CD for you!

Not long until your weigh-in now! Or are you weighing every day?

I would rather wait the 7 days and have a nice surprise!! Never been one for scale-addiction anyway.

Fingers crossed for you! I start AAMW on Wednesday so have been planning my menu!

Ok update is this. spoke to CDC who advised I should AAM.

I feel brilliant today :j

Its my weigh in later, but as Im went roudn to my cdc to buy some shakes the other day to replace the soups ( just cant get on with them ) she said ooh do you want to weigh. I didnt really mind either way, but Id lost 3lbs on Satursday morning and that was after drinking 1.5 litres h20.

I know im slimmer now than I was this time last week. ive been wearing 38C bras but yesterday tried on an older one 34C which fits with no spillage :j Even better, my mum got me a load of size 12 clothese from next clearance ( office trousers) and I stuck them in my ebay box, thinking "god I havent been a size 12 trouser for years mother "( she cant resist "bargains" ) ANYWAY picked out these trousers and i can fit in them :j They dont look good yet but in a couple more weeks, I expect they should fit. they came nowhere near me a few weeks ago when I photographed them for ebay ( but was delayed sticking them on ) Really really pleased

I bet you are feeling great C&Q is it your weigh in tonight too? , I cant believe the differnece in my energy levelscan you? after my meal last night I was up adn down like a yoyo cleaning, sorting out, I jsut couldnt sit still , had so much energy!!


What meals have you come up with C&Q for AAM?

Im going to have tonight, a bit of chicken on shredded leeks and ribbon courgettes.

Interesting read. In fact once upon a time, I was also one of those people who deemed the diet unhealthy and 'wouldn't work'.

But when you get desperate and you can't get your head around anything else, you start to open up and look into diets such as these and start getting the facts.

Until then, people will always stick with their original beliefs, because after all, they don't need to know anything else.

Here I am, 8 stone lighter, maintained for two years, and people will still say the diet doesn't work

Teehe, my last reply looks sort of out of place. I was reading an earlier page

Toots, have you tried the choc tetra. It's lovely.

I have only been doing it a week, today is day 7. But I have to AAM as I have to have loads of inoculations for my holiday to malawi, and Its was recommended.

Can someone help me out here. I started on 11stone1 , im 5 foot 1

the shakes are nice i think. I suppose they are slightly powdery, as is nesquick ( or was when I used to buy it) I mean they are chemically, thats what they are made of. Id definately give one of them a try next time you see your cdc. My fave is toffee & walnut. I would say the colder the water is that you use for them the nicer and less powdery they are.

Quick tip- dont freeze the banana tetra for "ice cream" horrendously powdery.
Mine ended up in the bin last night - not moneysaving :money:
