    First weigh in today.....................

    Go Girl...Go Girl.:D (i bought a frothie last xmas. not much cop i think. Not sure it will make much froth as the shakes are denser than coffee. I had more success in the frothing dept with a very small hand whisk, from tesco. Cheaper too;-)) squidgy

    Speeding up the process?

    Thanks Nicole, I understand now. I didn't know that a pound of fat is that many calories!!!:eek: crumbs! Thats a lot of biscuits! I'll be happy with my progress now. I've tortured myself with WW on & off for years. So this is a good weight loss without the blinkin' countin'. 3 stone to go...

    Speeding up the process?

    Hi Guys, I've got a question. Forgive me of it one you've heard before.... My CDC can't get out the door quick enough. I've been doing SS for 5 weeks now. After a blip my weight loss has been 3 or 4lb a week. Truthfully I'm a bit disappointed. It's so hard to stick to the diet, I was hoping...

    I feel therefore I eat

    Hi guys, I've just had a bit of a Eureka! moment. I've realised why I put all this weight on. I eat constantly at night. I've been tearing my hair out for a few days (in the evening). Mooching around the house, in and out of the kitchen, opening the cupboards. (On wednesday I gave in and ate...

    sat in on saturday night..save me!

    Hello peeps, I'm appealing for some encouragement. I've got a cold, i've been grumpy all day and I want to lie on the sofa and eat crap. Like I usually do when i'm fed up. I've been very positive about CD so far.. Every single person i've told about doing CD has been profoundly negative. This...

    Lymphoedema

    Lymphodema Hello I've come accross lymphodema management techniques. Don't settle for 'it'll never get better' until you have tried to reduce it. Good oncology centres should be able to put you in touch with a local service. Or try ringing the Maccmillan Nurses, any well know cancer charity,or...

    Has anyone made a blood donation while on the Cambridge Diet?

    Hi Dizzy, I've thought about your question logically:confused: ( I'm not a CDC, just a nurse). I wouldn't if I were you. I can't imagine that the diet would effect your major blood constituents, your cells but it is likely to alter the minerals in your blood. So your plasma wouldn't be the...

    AAM: to chew or not to chew?

    OK, Thanks Icemoose. I suppose the men in white coats couldn't officially say it's ok to do this endlessly. Which makes sense. Although I think the shakes etc have a better vitamin/mineral content than my usual diet. My GP is a grumpy old duffer who wouldn't let me do CD when I discussed it...

    AAM: to chew or not to chew?

    Thanks icemoose... so it's recommended by the men in white coats. I 'm sure it's good practice at eating normaly(ish). But, why is it recommended? Bowels/digestive processes? protein types? psychological reasons? I'm just curious, and I'm looking forwards to a bit of boring chicken!

    AAM: to chew or not to chew?

    Hello Peeps, forgive me if this a bit of a FAQ, i'm a newbie. Why does my CDC recommend an AAM week? I've noticed some post on here from people saying they have never done AAM. Is it for health reasons? or just so you can eat? How can it effect your weight loss? thanks for listening.. squidgy:D
