Cambridge Diet

minimoneysaver

Can you get any of these diets (Cambridge or similar) on the NHS? I'm back to see my doctor next week and just wondered if someone could tell me ahead of time.

You can get Lipotrim on the NHS but I think it has to be through a hospital Consultant, not through your GP.

It is worth paying for Cambridge - considering that you won't be spending any other money on food.

Thanks cute n quirky. I love that name!!! I was figuring that if you aren't paying for food, it pretty much pays for itself. x

I'm just about to have a peppermint tea but my favorite tea apart from the Tetley/PG Tips varieties is camomile.

Can anyone tell me why you can't have camomile?

I get it that fruit tea may contain sugars but don't really understand why I can't have camomile.

You can have 1 pint of Coke Zero as PART of your total water allowance!

Also Tesco Diet Coke

Perfectly Clear Strawberry & Kiwi

Perfectly Clear Red Apple

Morrison's Blackberry & Blueberry Water

CnQ

Can you have these waters as your whole water allowance (i'm guessing no but thought it would be worth an ask!)

Well I've had my 3 tetras and 3 litres of water as well as 500mls of coke zero. I feel really tired and have been asleep for the past 3 hours When I woke up I was really hungry so had a slice of beef oops, but feel a little better now

Cant wait to get into ketosis so Ive got some energy.

I'm having a pamper this weekend to take my mind of things, just popped to boots and bought some dead sea salts and face mask etc Cant wait.

Hope your all getting on ok

No - as you are only allowed a maximum of 1 pint per day!

You can only have tea made from the leaf - not from the fruit or the flower. Camomile is a flower and it might send you out of ketosis so it is best not to risk it!

well hello hello hello!

Hope you have all got through the festive period ok, I have put CD on hold for the festivities.

Im finding a fairly healthy middle ground, still eating the odd chocolate but not eating any pasta, bread, potatoes. I had one potato with Xmas dinner and felt so much better for it.

Ive moved house and lost my old cdc, so need to finds another now that my internet is back up & running. I also need to find the jug for the liquidiser that seems to have vanished!

But Im going back to maintainence asap, I possibly have a bit to lose, but did really well in the sales- plenty of size 8 jumpers for work etc in the next sale for a fiver :T and im now in size 12 jeans ( the tight ones) which im broadly happy with.

I will stick to CD this year!!

Happy new year to you all x

Ok no camomile for me, actually the peppermint tea last night was quite nice. Last night I was a bit low, thinking about the weeks stretching out in front of me with no / very little food but this morning I feel more positive and I know that this is all going to be worth it. I feel much more positive now that Day 1 is out of the way and feel I am now properly on the path to my goal. I hope everyone else is getting on ok & keeping up the good work.

If they have a fair number of clients they can make a lot of money being CDC's.

Im sure they do, and if I get slim enough I will think about becoming one, my C said she would sponsor me. It seems like a cool job! Would you ever become one?
