Hi guys
I'm new here and just thought I'd run this by you. I have exactly 4 stone to lose, I've just lost a stone before Christmas, basically just having about 1000 cals a day and taking xenical tablets.
I'm thinking about doing something like the Cambridge diet because I find with 1000 cals a day I'll lose a bit of weight then have a bit of a standstill!
The problem is that we can't really afford the Cambridge diet so I was wondering if anyone knows of any alternatives that work in the same way (basically high protein, not slim fast)
I read that you should consume 0.8g of protein per lb of body weight to lose weight but keep muscle - could I eat things like chicken & vegetables (or soup?) with protein shakes (like the type bodybuilders have) to make up the protein amount?
And if I did that how many g of carbs should I consume and should I be trying to keep myself in ketosis?
Sorry for all the questions & don't want to seem stupid, just heard high protein diets work but can't afford Cambridge diet prices!
Thanks in advance =)
