i did tea and i still cooked for me lol, saving the mash potato though and making rhys a little fish pie with it

 

[mrscookie]

I think ketosis takes 2-3 daysish? Depends on the individual I'd imagine.


LOL Lou, '' well done no baby food'' sounds like I sit there with a pot of green mush and a spoon lmfao

you dont on step 3 thats why i'm doing 2.

it'll hit me then at the weekend whe craig will want a fucking roast dinner lol, well i told him it'll be roast chicken as red meat is now off the menu lol, i am quite peckish now if i'm honest but not too bad i need to grab the crisps, i am now banning crisps from the house lol i banned biscuits and kit kats nearly a yr ago now and we replaced it with fruit which with rosie went down like a ton of bricks but she got used to it

[mrscookie]

I kinda feel like im cheating on step 3 really, most people do step 2 and below, and theres me with my 1000 cals a day, I almost feel wrong saying im doing the cambridge diet when there are people doing SS and not eating food etc.. I dunno why.
But then, if im losing weight on step 3, then I suppose im doing something right. I just dont like saying im on the cambridge diet cos I feel like im not really, everyone associates CD with SS, and cos im not doing SS I feel like im cheating... if that makes any sense.
lol!

 

[lollylou1]

technically u wont be on the cambridge diet for long as the name will be changing within the next couple of weeks

Mel whatever plan you are following its part of cambridge so u are doing the diet!!!!
u have to do what suits you best

Jac the reason you feel better is because you are giving your tummy something to eat that means it satisfies it for a couple of mins then it is more keen for more than it was before

[helen1234]

[Blah11]

Hello, I'm doing a diff version of a meal replacement diet but I hope I can still post in here for moral support

Anyway I started today after realising I have gained 10lbs in a month over Xmas Not really funny but if I don't laugh I'll cry. Not sure what weight I want to lose so I'm just gonna go by how I feel I look and how my clothes fit. I have a pair of skinnies that are soooooooo tight they hurt and I can't breathe or walk in them so I'd like to fit into them properly by March/April
I'm doing 2 meal replacements a day and a soup broth for my 3rd meal.. I'm having the broth for dinner tonight but might switch it about for lunch too. I'm excited to lose weight but nervous I'll give up

 

[lollylou1]

serina there should be no reason doc doesnt give you the go ahead so good luck with that!

blah good luck with your version of diet your welcome on here ofcourse

Helen well done for resisting and drinking your water

hi ladies,

What a great thread. Im really wanting to go on the cambridge diet.

looking for some advice. I had a planned c section just over 3 weeks ago how long should I wait to start the diet and will the councillors let me start it? Not sure how much I weigh at the mo but currently dress size 16/18 so def overweight would like to slim down to a size 10/12 (if my curvy figure will let me ) havent been slim for about 5 to 6 years now so no idea what my ideal weight is or should be.

I will be seeing my health visitor and doctor in about 3 weeks time for my 6 weeks check do I need to mention to them that I want to start the diet.

Im sooooo chuffed to have my 2nd little boy he is gorgeous and I know im only 3 weeks post birth but im so depressed about my weight. I went to start the diet last year made an appointment and everything but then i found out I was pregnant so it has been along time coming. Hopefully everyone will give me the go ahead cant wait to get started as im bursting with motivation after seeing myself in recent photos.

Hope the diet is going ok for you ladies x

 

[x-Rainbow-x]

congratulations on your little boy!!

im sure you have to be at least 12 weeks delivered before you can start but im sure lou will correct me if im wrong

 

[xxxjacxxx]

well so far ive still not cheated!
Ok, well I maybe had an extra broccoli florett or 2 on my meal

I'm so motivated today and no headache or feeling dizzy yet either

I CAN DO IT!

 

[helen1234]

yay jac well done, i reckon i had a lul too much bocolli on my plate lol and i licked the spoon of rhys's yoghurt haha, i didnt even realise i'd done it lol.

no side effects yet and only get a tad hungry about 4pm.

i'm worried i'm going to fail next sunday for rhys's little tea party having a few sarnies out for visiting family etc. i really want to share a bit of cake on his 1st birthday

can i have lunch instead of tea and have celery and cottage cheese and a tuna salad with cucmber lol and a slice of cake

Hey all you cambridge dieters! I have a few questions if you dont mind answering?


You can't do the cambridge diet while breast feeding, can you?
How much weight do you lose on it?
How much does it cost?
What is ketosis?

I would not advise it at all for BF mothers, you dont want anything to affect milk or baby

You can lose however much you like, my CDC said anyone with 2 stone+ is welcome to try

costs different for everyone cos CDC can charge diff rates etc, but there is a guide line earlier on that Lou posted somewhere. I pay £25 a week for 2 meals a day.

Lou explains ketosis a couple of pages back
