[quote=Alibongo;466905]I had a problem with my surgery too, but there is another nearby who have an LL clinic twice a week so I went there. Your LL counsellor should be able to help you, if not you will be able to find a private one. It is a shame that GPs have such different opinions on this.

Hi Ali

Well the LL Counsellor called me today - its a def no without the signed medical. I have also been enquiring about the Cambridge Diet and have been accepted on it without any medical.

Have you tried it before? I don't know what to do? Any advice?

Hi Susie,

I tried CD and the shakes etc were very similar. The only thing for me is that you didnt get the Counselling like you do on LL, which I needed. On CD I fell off the wagon after 1 month. I have been on LL for nearly 10 weeks now.

If you think you can do it without the extra counselling, I cant see any difference. CD is cheaper, but you are paying for Councelling session with LL.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Ladylite

I am gonna give the CD a go. I totally get what your saying about the counselling etc but at the moment I just wanna get started as I'm I have gained so much weight recently I need to do something quick.

I lost 5 1/2 stone on WW in 2006 and then gained 3 stone in 2007 after swearing to never go back.

Fingers crossed that this will work for me.

Thanks

Yes LL will not do it without a signed and stamped form unfortunately. I don't think that any of the other diets do that though.
When I was looking at this, I looked at CD and LL and I really do believe that LL is the better programme if you have eating problems, which I think you do as I did/do (LL has ironed most of that out).
I have been through the same thing, losing weight and putting it straight back on again, most of us on here have.

I have bags more confidence with the tools LL has given me, I am far more positive about keeping the weight off for good.

If you really can't find a doctor (private or NHS) to sign the form then I would do what someone else suggested in another post and ask your doctor for counselling and do CD.

Can your LLC not recommend a surgery that will do it? Her other customers can't have had a problem otherwise she wouldn't have a job!

CD is a fine diet and I would have chosen it had I not been able to get into LL.

Me too. This is the first diet I've done where my HEAD has changed - not just my weight! Its the first time I REALLY believe that I will keep it off forever - and I WILL!

Good luck on CD Susie, there are loads of people on here who have just as amazing losses as with LL.
