Cambridge Diet

Thanks for the wise words Chris...

i think it was psychological eating after my weigh in last night, partly cause the numbers weren't as great as i'd hoped for and partly cause i've a week to get it back online!

anyhow i checked for ketosis last night and again this morning and was still in ketosis so i can only assume it did me no harm... i actually felt very stuffed on 3 chicken fillets, rocket and cucumbers! plus the lovely one slice of brown bread n butter....

i am determined to so 100% soul source this week so my losses should be relatively good next week....

i am now feeling happier with my half a stone this week, i mean to say, as a wise friend pointed out whenever i knocked my pan in running the losses were zero so it's all relative...!

i have loads of flavours i like this week, only took 2 chicken/mushroom and 2 spicy tomato soups all the rest are shakes/hot choc type things.... took 2 tetras too to see how they are...

next week i can have bars and flavoured water!! woop woop!!!

Thanks for the kind words guys! Was absolutely torturing myself over the chicken

Oh boy... just asked a work colleague who had the same as me last night if he remembered how much chicken there was. He said the menu stated about 200g.

This is still absolutely okay right?

Right...?

Hi

Yeah you'll be fine with 200g of chicken

On 810 your allowed 175g of chicken/turkey breast, i sometimes have a bit more than this,

but it hasn't harmed my weight loss

200g of chicken is better than 200g of chips, just think of that.

don't worry you will be fine

This i based on 100g, so double the number and you'll have what you took.... high in protein, low in carbs, low in fat so okay... maybe need to cut one CD pack out though as you'll have gone over your calories in the programme, then on course you loose nutrients from your RDA.... so not too often would be key, i guess.

Wicked, thanks for that!

Yeah - I pretty much cut out my evening CD meal, replacing it with the chicken. Next month is going to be the real test... flying out to Mexico for several days, where all food and entertainment will be provided.

you'll maybe need to accept that you will be eating and make that your Add A Meal week, discuss it with your CDC... as long as it's low carb, high protein.. avoid fruit (as mad as that sounds but high in sugars) go for permitted veg and meats...

sounds fabulous...by the time that comes you will be well on your way to skinny! so want want to sabotage it....

If you do come right off then plan, then you need to be aware getting back on is very hard...... personally i'd rather do it once and give it 95% of my efforts than redo this every year... IYKWIM...

I didn't post this, so you really should thank (land of) maz for the above information.

When i went away in nov for a week, plus then there was christmas, i decided that i didn't want to do the diet, i wanted to enjoy myself, so with the advice of my cdc i started to introduce carbs, the good ones.

3 weeks before i started to move up plans, and then a week before i began to introduce carbs, ie boiled potatoes, more veg, didn't touch the bad carbs, ie white bread, white rice, sweets.

when i went away for the week i enjoyed my food, i stuck to chicken mostly but had salad, with it, breakfast was usually an omlett, i had the ocasional ice cream, and i used to enjoy a drink, but i now know that it is just my taste buds, i went out when on holiday and started on water and at the end of the night i nad 3 drinks. In the past i would have had loads to drink.

christmas i did the same, enjoyed my food, but had smaller portions, and not a lot to drink, and now i'm back on track.

You just have to remember that getting back on track, after having a massive blow out is hard, it is so hard.

A little thought that i say to myself when ordering food is,

Yes i can eat nice food, but do i want to eat bad food.

Good luck

And remember whatever i say, it is only MY opinion, not the books.

Your giving your money to cambridge, and it does work, but only if you don't cheat.
