Cambridge Diet

I would use a tablespoon. Garlic is a no no, so probably garlic powder too. Curry powder is allowed, but only 1g

Still thinking on the leeks. I'm thinking that since it's a member of the onion family it's probably a no no again. Not 100% certain on this though.

Well probably overdid the veg slighlty last night. It was about 3 tablespoons cooked, but im not too bothered. My CDC did ask me whether i wanted to go onto 790 instead, I said no at the mo, Im struggling to force down the AAM and the 3 CD meals.

Ive lost 4lbs last week, if I carry on losing like this, Ill be at target in only a few more weeks, and shuld be nice & slim for the hols.

Feel wonderful again this moring, none of the groggyness that usually pervades. I feel like a different person - DOWN WITH CARBS that make me sleepy and feel like a beached whale!

Toots how are you feeling?

Well, have been for a CT Scan today so had one shake at 8.15am and then nothing until 4pm!!!! I can honestly say that I was hungry for the first time since starting CD! The CT Scan had to be done so that is that!

On Day 28 Sole Source on three shakes/soups per day.

My weigh-in is tomorrow morning.

Am down 5" on chest, hips and waist as of yesterday so something is working!

I am getting ready to start Add A Meal Week tomorrow!! Really looking forward to it.

Have really gone off the Tesco Gold Blend Coffee since having to drink it black but a friend gave me a black Kenco coffee yesterday and it was fabulous - so called on the way home and bought a jar - bliss! Mind you anything is bliss when you haven't eaten or drunk anything for 7 hours!! Well, other than the orange drink with dye that they give you at hospital!!

Have fun!!

Ive just squeezed in my second shake of the day. Im off to get my haircut tonight so Im pleased i wasnt hungry till now to see me through IYSWIM

You'll be surprised cute & quirky, when you start AAM. Last night i felt actually quite uncomfortable after my meal ( not carby heavy, just well, heavy) I had half a choc shake made with hot water and half a peanut bar for "pudding" and I have both of those to go after my "meal" tonight ( the other halves)

Right now I don't know how I am going to eat three shakes AND a small meal - albeit a small meal!!

I had one and a half pints of water this morning, then another one and a half pints of water with the dye at the hospital. Have had another pint of water since I came home and will have another before bed.

Today have also had three coffees (so far) and a bottle of Coke Zero I bought in the hospital shop!!

Plus the water for two shakes and a third to come!

The orange was a very watery orange squash - so it should be okay!! It was sugar-free too - they use it for their diabetic patients too!!

Should be okay!

OMG you are so adventurous! I'm just having 3 soups a day at the mo but I'm definitely registering all these ideas for when I go and see my CDC next week (went after one week but she is leaving it a fortnight before seeing me again). I'd never have even considered having a hot shake or splitting a shake and a bar. I can't wait!

The Chocolate/Chocolate Mint/Cappuccino are gorgeous hot!

I put a little more coffee in the cappuccino shake too!

C&Q - you know the coke zero thing, do you know if we can have the other "zeros" sprite/ lilt/ fanta?

I do quite fancy a fanta, but im not overly bothered if I cant
