    Do I stop......social life?

    I love CD and since last year shed over 6 stones in 2 attempts. I have found confidence and have had a first date in a long time which is leading to a second date. Dating is such a social thing and I awkwardly ate taveners chicken with bacon and chesse with a salad (I never touched the chips...

    Day 7, ketostix, hunger, confusion!?!?

    If you are a 100% you will be in ketosis. Ditch the stix they are notoriously unreliable. On my first attemt on CD the hunger went on day 8. Persevere it will come and I was on a high then. I had a dry carpet tongue for a few days. The bad breath is par for the course and a sign of ketosis. I...

    Coming back

    This is my second restart and I have passed the weight I reached last year and I am more determmined to do it this time. I know I can do it and I never really want to come back on once I am at goal. Maintaining is the hardest. Good luck on your second time. Jayne

    Totally gutted!!

    I think you should avoid ketosis type diets until you have fully healed. You will regain your glycogen stores so will gain weight not inches. I would recommend slimming world as it is a very healthy and safe weight plan and it is the only diet recommended for pregnant/breast feeding mother...

    Chewing Gum

    I think sugar free gum is ok regarding keeping in ketosis. The problem with chewing is the problem and it fools your stomach into thinking it is going to have food. This can make you feel hungry.

    How long does it take to get into ketosis?

    You are definately in ketosis when on SS+ that is why the food list is so stringent and low low carbs. If you were not the SS+ plan wouldn't give such good weight losses. Jayne

    OH wants me to quit CD :-(

    I would suggest giving SS+ a go. I love my little meal and leave it for dinner time, so I have a tetra for brekkie as late as I can, a crunchy bar for lunch, my SS+ meal at 5-7pm and a chewy bar at night (munchies time normally for me).

    I agree with the above comment. CD is such a restricted diet and costly but the outcomes it gives you are totally worth it.

    Jayne's journey

    4lb lost today did mainly SS+ didn't cave while mum in hospital as my sister had chocolate and cooked breakfast. I resisted glad mum now home and on the mend. Got bridesmaid dress on a hanger and hoping I will be paying a dress maker to take it in. (not fitting at the moment) :D

    Nearly cracked!!

    I don't think I could do it without the SS+ option my little meal is what helps me through the day.

    CD Doesn't work

    I sympathise I lost 6st 1lb last year. I got to a comfortable weight thought I would switch to SW to do the rest. Oh oh once I introduced food I didn't just fall off the diet wagon I leapt off. I landed back in junk food heaven where Domino pizza was my best friend. Old eating habits crept in...
  122. F

    Starting today? Seems to be alot of us!

    Good luck on your journey. I am a choccy girl through and through. Hated the porridge's, don't have any soups. Choc bars, choc tetra's, choc and choc mint shakes and the occasional peanut bar. You will find your tastes will go through phases.

    Another quick question before i start tomorrow

    I struggle with cardio exercise so toning with weights, pilates or yoga are good. Wii fit good. Walking gentle swimming and CDC has power plates. Been hard for me recently as off with sciatica so easing back in gently :-(
  124. F

    When is the best time to weigh yourself?

    At your CDC appointment as your weight fluctuates day to day, hour to hour. After food after a bath different scales on different surfaces. Stick to once a week same scales and then any differences won't knock your confidence and tempt you to come off etc. ;-)
  125. F

    Silly question, If I dont like..........

    In answer to your question if you don't like it throw it and make another product. You need the nutrients from a full product a little taste from another will not affect your weight loss that much. Bear in mind some people have 4 products a day I do and I am under 5ft 8. Others SS+ having a...
  126. F

    Don't believe it!!

    I agree ditch the stix and lose the scales. Stick to it 100% and it works :D
  127. F

    Constipation (tmi sorry)

    I have the fibre powder an take once a day with a powder shake. My CDC said if you don't have a powder shake she puts it in her coffee. It does work really well. Make sure your water intake is at the recommended.

    Struggling

    I know how you feel. The thing is I crave things and have to work out is it all in my head. Because usually when I have the food I was craving I feel no better after it. Sometimes I feel worse for it then the guilt creeps in that I have cheated.
  139. F

    Struggling

    Do a few days of SS and when you go back to SS+ properly you will appreciate the food you are allowed and not be tempted to pick. We allhave little blips focus on how you feel on the scales when you have dropped those pounds. Or when that smaller item of clothing fits. Good luck.

    My CDC had a good idea regarding bars if thinking of eating them all. Freeze them and bring one out at night to defrost for the next day :D

    Getting back in the zone

    I think it is only natural that motivation, the novelty of doing this and the food cravings creep in. I have been 100% til now but some how feel now doing SS+ most days that I am doing wrong. I have done some sugarfree chewing gum and a coke zero this week and feel very naughty. I just hope...

    The last 3 or 4 days i have only been having 1 or 2 shakes...

    I would make sure you have them all. Or your body will go into starvation mode and keep hold of the fat as a reserve. Have you tried the bars instead? Jayne x

    Cambridge to weight watchers...

    Hi Sandyblack, I am planning to move to slimming world as its a more healthier plan and will hopefully be a new way of life. I feel that CD is fab for fast results it is only a means to an end and is not the way to live with food. I struggle on WW and they keep changing it (last time I did it...

    bars...wondering why

    I have 1 bar per day every day since 3rd week as they are so convenient and handy when out an about. I love choc tetras but prefer them ice cold. Top tip when I had a warm tetra with me I took my mum to Mcdonalds she had her meal (Grrrr) and I ordered bottle of water and empty cup with ice cubes...

    I don't think I will be staying on it til christmas :eek:! But who knows. Day 66 :D. I have done a few more SS+ days and felt really full when I do :p. It does stave off my cravings. Also everyone who knows I am on the plan are happier food is passing my lips ;). Got to plan for next weeks food...

    starting cambridge diet

    This is the best weight plan I have been on for quick results! The feeling you get on the scales each week is fab. Ketosis is key as it takes away the hunger. Slimfast was harder than this. CD is like going cold turkey removing the food helps recognising cravings and overcoming them. There is...

    Craving 'real' food! Help?!

    I am on week 9 now, I have been having 1 bar a day since the third week and they really do help with the texture issue. Have you tried mix-a-mousse that also might help. I have had a few SS+ days these last 2 weeks especially when active and that really helps me stay on plan. They haven't...

    altering the way i make cwp? is it ok?

    If you want something solid I would go for the bars (after 2nd weeks) or try the mix a mousse. There is a bit of trial and error to the mousse but worth a go. :D. Jayne x

    The perils of weighing every day

    Take your midweek weighing with a pinch of salt. I weigh but don't really take it seriously. I weighed once had a wee weighed again and was a pound heavier. I only trust the CDC scales they cost far more than my bathroom scales. :D
  243. F

    Just starting

    Good luck on CD and sole source. Stay focussed on weight losses. When the CDC says your losses at the scales nothing can replace that feeling not even a chocolate bar. Disract yourself bath, nails, hair, face packs etc. Sleep, read, watching tv programmes such as supersize Vs superskinny on...

    Jayne's journey

    My ambitious aim is 11 stone 7lbs. I am going to go until August, I have events in June, July and August that I am going to have planned pauses for hoping they don't pile on the pounds too much. Also that I can jump back on CD easily I have discussed this with my CDC and she is going to...

    Negative names - positive outlook?

    I didn't give my username a lot of thought when I joined. Maybe I didn't think I would last on Cambridge and wouldn't be on the forum much. How wrong was I. Although it is positive I would like to change it. To what I don't know! Jayne x

    Pi**ed off!!!!

    Don't go by a midweek weigh your weight fluctuates so much even from morning to night. I can't say whole-heartedly stop weighing yourself as I do it myself but I take the result with a pinch of salt and don't let it affect me. Every week I have done this the day of weighing has surprised me...
