I want to get down to 13 stone, then I'm thinking of doing the Cambridge diet for the rest. I'm just wondering if I do the Cambridge diet, what happens after? Will I put it back on?

I've done Lipotrim and cambridge diet which are both similar but Lipotrim tastes horris and only had the shakes on that and its done at the chemist. I did Lipotrim soley, no food at all, just shakes for 3 months without cheating! I lost 2 1/2 stone in those 3 months. I didnt do the maintanence plan i just ate very small amouts slowly and use common sense. Went on holiday not long after finishing it and only gained 4lbs on and maintained my weight for a year until i got pregnant and gained 3 stone back on! 
I have done cambridge too where i slipped a bit but lost it in no time. Only thing is with it is its easier to cheat with cambridge as they have chocolate bars etc which taste gorgeous so you have the taste for bad food. I am going back on cambridge in Jan and plan to just stick to the shakes only, i think it would be easier not to cheat that way. Anyway good luck

I have awful memory sorry 
Here are the plans
SS = Sole Source
You have 3 shakes a day and drink 4 pints of water over the course of the day. After a few weeks, can't remember how many you can then have the bars too.
SS+ = Sole Sourse Plus
Exactly the same as the above but your allowed to include a small meal worth 200cal
Protein options
120 g Chicken or turkey (skinless)
190 g Cod haddock or white fish
250 g Tofu
200 g Quorn
180 g Tinned tuna (in water)
125 g Prawns
225 g low fat cottage cheese
2 medium eggs
(ALL UNCOOKED WEIGHTS)
Vegetable options
TWO (15 ML) tablespoons of any cooked or raw veg from the list
Asparagus
Kale
Broccoli
Lettuce
Cabbage (even pickled)
Brussel sprouts
Marrow
Mushrooms
Cauliflower
Pac choi
Celeriac
Red radishes
Spinach
Celery
Turnip tops (leafy part)
Watercress
Chinese leafy greens
Courgettes
Cucumber
Fennel
Green salad leaves
OR
Cambridge products and milk
4 Cambridge meal products (regardless of height or gender)
200ml skimmed milk
The other plans are then;
Step 2 = 810 kcal
Step 3 = 1000 kcal
Step 4 = 1200 kcal
Step 5 = 1500 kcal
Step 6 = Maintenance 1500+ kcal
I haven't really read up on the other plans yet but I should be moving onto 810 soon
Hope this helps
