Thread: Weight loss virtually stopped on cambridge diet - help

Hi there

When I did CD a few years ago, I found that although some weeks I lost less than others , overall I always lost a stone a month.

Things that slowed my weight loss right down were coke zero or diet coke & the bars.

The chewy bars are over 20g carb a bar and they are too much carb for me at one go and kicked me out of ketosis every time. In the end my CD wouldn't sell them to me and I loved that orange bar with a passion.

Hope the weight loss picks up - I know from experience that there is nothing more frustrating than sticking to a VLCD and not losing weight.

It is a little disheartning though to stick with something 100% and not get the results you expect. But be proud you're sticking to it. You will get the results sooner or later..SOONER hopefully. I notice my loses slow down when I exercise which isn't good cuz I'm always looking for an excuse =)

Hi.
Do you really think exercise makes a difference? I used to go the gym (only about twice a week) before I started the cambridge diet. Ive just had my week 4 weigh in and only lost 3/4 of a lb. I started stage 2 this week as well but have ran 5 miles and been to the gym twice as well in that week. Do you think that made a difference? Not sure what to do. I'm all for giving up!
