I am chuffed - yes! :j

Had to force myself into eating the AAM today - have still got a shake to go

I know I have to have it but I don't feel as if I need it!

Still - we must do as we are told - it has been scientifically worked out and it works as it has been planned!

Good luck!

How are you getting on Toots?

That's why you don't weigh yourself every day!!

It is too disappointing when your body is fluctuating - I flatly refuse to weigh every day, regardless.

CD like you to weigh every day in the first week because the weight is falling off so fast - for most folks anyway.

If you go to the cambridge own forum you will see how many people have thrown their scales into the bin - or hidden them away - and rely on the CDC weigh-in only.

Also, I don't and won't use ketostix - waste of time, energy and money! If you are losing weight you are in ketosis, simple as that.

Hope you get a result at your regular weigh-in.

You can be in ketosis and it not show on the sticks!!!

Your scales sound fab! I want some with an eye-level readout but cannot find any - other than the medical scales which are over £400.

The original CD was only 330 cals per day - the USA still sells that version oas the 'original' but then recommend that you have four portions per day.

Hi all

I am currently on day 5 of Cambridge diet and absolutely love it!

I did it last year and lost 4 stones. It transformed my life and has allowed me to get back in to exercise this year after getting to 'normal' weight.

I had put back on 12 -14lbs during this year but my body was transformed by exercise too. I have had a forced break from exercise the last 2 months due to injury and the school holidays. I had also put back on another 12 - 14lbs during that time (had a wonderful food indulgent holiday). This gain put me back to overweight so this week I went back on to start Cambridge again.

I was accepting of the gain, felt happy that I had indulged, I enjoyed it, but so happy and ready to go back to Cambridge again. There was no way I was going to stay over weight and knew that continued overeating would not be enjoyable and make me desperately unhappy.

It's a wonderful diet and personally I find it easy as long as I do it 100% no cheating whatsoever. If you do not stick to the rules you are better to do another diet, in my opinion.

Good luck all of those on the CD. I know weekends are hard for most so my fingers are crossed for us all.

Here are a couple of tips that work for me for anyone interested.

I split my packs in half and so have six a day. I find them strong enough and satisfying enough in half. I have less during the day so I have plenty in the evening. I am not generally that hungry in the evenings but it sometimes unnerves me to know I don't have many 'meals' left for later in the day.

Other than that I also find it best to keep it simple. Not buy too many flavours, plenty of water, black coffee, green tea. I find the simpler it is the better for me. If I start having too many flavours or 'allowed extras' it makes me start craving food. I also avoid the bars, they gave me painful wind and also set off cravings for chocolate.

My favourite flavours at the moment are Chocolate (hot), vegetable soup (hot) and Toffee and Walnut (hot). I also like strawberry cold sometimes when I fancy a different tasting cold drink.

I will look out for this thread and see how your doing.

welcome penny picher

Well I have sinned, and unfortunately due to a complete bout turn of my day ( ie forgot half of my blender, went for a job interview and they wanted me to stay all day etc) I had no choice but to visit, the worst place in the world for food. I only had a bite of it then binned it, but Im just pi55ed off with myself, I could have taken a tetra, I did have one in the fridge :wall:

Never mind, Im not having a meal tonight and Ill have the other 2 shakes. ( i havnet had a shake yet today, will have one in a mo)

And I'll SS tomorrow I think just to be on the safe side.

Well I am on Day 3 of Week 5 AAMW and I am not in the slightest bit hungry.


Having to force down the three shakes and the meal on top.


Had a bar yesterday in place of a shake and a mousse today in place of a shake, just for a change.


Can't wait to go back onto Sole Source next Wednesday!

its really odd isnt it C&Q about howe you have to really force it down.

Im still tinkering with the shakes to see which ones are the best with more water. Toffee & walnut is Ok with 9 fl oz, I dont know if that appaeals

C&Q , what bars have you had. I tried the caramel one and the peanut crunch one. Quite liked both of those, wondered if the other ones were as nice?

Cute_'n'_Quirky

Have had the Toffee, Caramel and the Chocolate and they are all yummy.

I cut my bar down the middle then into squares so I get 14 pieces, then put them onto a plate and into the fridge for a couple of hours - mmmmmmm!

Not tried the Toffee & Walnut yet!
