Hi Guys, I'm on day three of sole source. The hunger has gone (sort of), but I feel very tired all the time. Does this get any better or can I expect to feel like this for the duration of the diet? Any support much appreciated! Thanks :)

I had the same panic! And then I got scared about the fact I was panicking about eating carbs! I had a slightly different reason to you though. I'm not at my goal weight, but I had a holiday booked. And it turned out fine actually. Just start slow. I had a wholegrain panini for lunch, and...

I think each person is different. I just went cold-turkey. But for some people it's recommended to ease yourself into it. Just make sure its not a delaying tactic. In terms of being social...it can be a little difficult. It depends on your strength of will. But I've avoided going along to...

I am in my 10th week of Cambridge Diet, and I have been having MAD craving for pizza. I am so so so tempted. I really want pizza and a big fat piece of chocolate cake. But I know logically this will satisfy me for all of 20 minutes. And then I'll have to struggle through the hunger of getting...

If you HAVE to eat (and trust me, everyone has their weak moments), eat protein. Not carbs. Protein doesn't kick you out of ketosis while carbohydrates do. Have a boiled egg, or my little secret are the small individual packets of roast chicken fridge raiders. Try to keep it to lean proteins...

It's so worth it! Stick with it! The first few days are horrid, there's no way around that. But get through to your first weigh in, see the results, and there's no looking back!! And I can tell you, nothing has ever felt so good as picking up a dress sizes down (or a few down) for the first...

I've just reached my 2 stone mark!!! I can't believe it. I'm half way!! Never thought I'd make it!

It is tough, but you have to keep in mind that it gets better. Because it does! Get through the first tough few days. It's worth it. And I am very naughty, I've drunk sugar-free redbull throughout my diet. I know its not allowed, but hasn't seemed to have affected my weight loss. But I work...

I'm on 4 a day too. I have mine at 4 hour intervals, to keep me going. But I work late nights so try and push everything back as far as possible. So I have a pack at 10:00am, 2:00pm, 6:00pm and 10:00pm. You just need to work out what works for your lifestyle. But I know I'm always hungrier later...

It depends how "naughty" you plan on being. I had a friends birthday party this week, and ate pulled pork in a seedy bun with tons of sweet chili sauce. Plus nearly half the bowl of pork crackling. Two cup cakes and a slice of cheese cake. I was pretty damn naughty. But I still lost 3lbs. I...

People are different. But someone once told me I should look at the average monthly loss rather than weekly. If I do that, I've lost a stone a month even though some weeks I've only lost a few lbs. I didn't lose that much in my first week. But stick with it and the weight comes off! xxx

I randomly put on 1lb one week too. But then the following week I lost half a stone. So I think it's just the body sorting itself out. You can't physically not lose weight on this diet. The lovely ladies on this website kept me going with words of encouragement, I stuck with it, and the weight...

I only have the ready made packs. I live off the chocolate one. I find the consistency far nicer. But I do have to drink a litre (if not more) of water with each one to dilute. My body was definitely not used to such a high concentration of nutrients etc. But I do find drinking the packs with...

Help please! I'm starting to lose focus. I'm 3lbs off reaching my half way point. I feel like I've been on this forever! Even though I know its only been a few weeks. I'm just getting frustrated and down that I'm only just about half way, and that I've still got such a long way to go. I know I...

I do that too. I can fluctuate by up to half a stone depending on when I weigh myself (you always weigh less in the morning), how many packs I've had and how much water I've drunk. Always try and weigh yourself at the same time of day, and where the same clothes or clothes of similar weights.

I had a week off when I went on holiday abroad. I ate, drank vast quantities, had pudding. I went a little too over board to be honest. Put on 6lbs!! But within a week of being back on it, I'd lost everything I put on. So if you need a week off, have a week off. I was just at the point where I...

I put weight on one week randomly. I was all but ready to quit! But it came off the following week. I think sometimes the body just balances itself out. Give it some time. If you're following the diet, you can't not lose weight. Good luck!

I had a very similar issue. I'd booked a holiday abroad before I started. It was only myself and my Mum going, and she said to me straight off she wasn't prepared to eat alone every night. Plus, we'd paid for breakfast as part of the package. So I went and had a really good time! I had...

So I did pretty well on SS. Lost 1 stone and a bit. I was thrilled! Then I had a holiday which had been booked before I started the diet. I went out with the intention of not going too overboard. But needless to say, that didn't last long. All you can eat buffet breakfast...

I lost 7lbs!!! I am absolutely thrilled. It was obviously just a breather before my metabolism kicked in again. What a relief!! And thank you so much for all your support! I was very close to throwing in the towel. But thank god I didn't!! :thankyou: xxx

:thankyou: xxx

:thankyou:Thanks ladies! I think you're right. As long as I don't go over-board, I can indulge myself a little. It's my first holiday in 5 years so I think I deserve it!:character00180: Fingers crossed :cross: I don't put on too much though! xxx

This will be the third time I've attempted the Cambridge diet. Both previous attempts ended up with me binging and feeling exceptionally depressed that I would never be able to stick with a diet and actually lose the weight! But guess what, third time was the charm for me! Something just...

I am so ridiculously happy! Last week I was in tears and so close to throwing in the towel. I had lost 2lbs the week before, and then PUT ON 1lb. I had been following the plan religiously so was pretty devestated. But went for my weekly weigh in this afternoon and I've lost 7lbs!!!!!!!!!!! I...

My friends insisted on going to subway for Lunch on my third day on the plan! That smell of bread when you walk through the door was almost my undoing! But I tell you what, that is one of the proudest moments of my diet so far. Resisting! So yes, very annoying of the kids, but also, it gives...

Hello, I am going on Holiday in a week with my Mum. I've been on the Cambridge diet for the last 7 weeks, and while my Mum is supportive of that, she's said she's not prepared to eat alone. Which is fair enough. And I know that my will power will only stretch so far. I wouldn't be able to sit...

Help!!:help2: And yes, I'm sorry, I need to rant! :rant2: This is my 7th week on Sole Source and I'm struggling to stay motivated...:raincloud: I'm bored, fed up, and downright upset at my last two weeks lack of weight loss. If this diet doesn't work for me, what will?? I'm on 612 calories...

I am being measured, and I have yet to lose a single inch off my waist!! I'm down over a stone and not an inch...I have lost off my hips. Which is better than nothing, but still. Finding this week very hard to stay motivated. If I haven't lost anything at my weigh in on Monday I don't know what...

Anyone else on SS become obsessed with food?? :ashamed0005: I am spending HOURS each day planning meals...literally writing out every individual componant of a meal and listing the calories. I've been writing out of recipe books, and looking up new recipes on the internet. I DON'T EVEN COOK...

I've had the same problem since the beginning. I've been on SS for 6 weeks now, and for me, the problem hasn't really gone away. I just have to really plan where I am when I have my pack. I was so ridiculously unhealthy before I started this, I don't think my body has ever had so much nutrients...

I know exactly how you feel!! I'm going on Holiday for a week with my Mum next Friday. We'd booked it before I started the diet. My Mum is very supportive of me doing this diet, but she's also said she's not eating by herself everyday! And I KNOW there is no way I'd be able to take a shake down...

If you don't like your counsellor, then change. I started seeing a counsellor - she was very nice, very sweet etc etc. But I didn't feel comfortable emailing/texting her between weigh ins if I was struggling. So I swapped counsellors, and it's made such a difference!! She's really helped me...

Hello, I'm really struggling at the moment. I've been on Cambridge Diet SS for 6 weeks now. The weight loss was pretty good to begin with, and then over the last few weeks has started to really really slow. Last week I only lost 2lbs which was a little disappointing. But then this week I put on...
