    There's no reason you can't do it alongside a normal life as you have the option to add an evening meal. The main thing you need to be mindful of from a social perspective is that alcohol and ketosis is a very dangerous combination. Good Luck xx

    what a revelation!

    Yes. That's a good point actually, I have done lots of diets where you can eat unlimited amounts of certain foods. However, have just spent 6 weeks doing the Cambridge diet so my stomach should have shrunk. See I say all that, I have just eaten my whole bowl of chilli and rice......... x

    I am a serial weigher. If I lose it's great but if I don't it can ruin my mood for the day. I am trying very hard to weigh in only once a week and take this as my weekly loss. I use MFP but only update my weight once a week on it xx
