    Can you do SS and SS+ on alternate days?

    To be honest I'm not sure what the official answer is on this:o I have 2 ladies that both work a couple of nights a week, on these nights they have an ss+ small meal and the nights they don't work they ss. Both of them have stayed in ketosis and their losses each week average 3 - 4lbs. Tracey x

    can you buy cds food online

    Promise I haven't got a gun:D To do an online service would be impossible really as the provider would have to fully rely on what the buyer told them re medical conditions etc. and therefore people who had contrindications to the diet could be putting their health at risk if they weren't...

    Cambridge Price Increase

    The prices quoted are the RRP for customers. I've just had a look at my letter and working it out it's 5p more for each shake, tetra or bar purchased. So should work out that a weeks worth of products will cost an extra £1.05 for people having 3 products per day and an extra £1.40 per week...

    Is this right re costing?

    Cdc's can charge what they feel is appropriate, and some do charge an initial consultation fee etc. The £46 per week is the average charge for somebody who has to have 4 packs a day. If you're not happy with the cost you could ring round and try to find another counsellor, there are many who...

    Hi Soraya I'm sorry you're having a hard time at present. You seem very confused and I wish I could help you. You've said that you panic when over a certain weight (I know that feeling well:sigh:) and that cutting back strictly makes you rebel, again I am the same. I really would try and...

    Petrol prices- an idea!

    I received this in an email today and have passed it on. I buy mine from Sainsbury's all the time, so am already abiding by the terms. I wonder if it'll work? Where do Tesco, Sainsbury's buy there fuel from? Could they buy it from BP or Esso in the first place? Tracey x

    Q for CDCs - moving to the 1000 plan

    You should find that when you move from the 810 plan to the 1000plan there will be no weight gain:D In fact you should still lose that week. I went from 790plan to 1000 plan and that week I still lost 2lbs. The stabilisation steps are designed so that you wont have a gain from the glycogen...
