    Hi Caroline ! As has been said already, bars are limited to 1 per day, but tetras are unlimited, so on 1000 programme, you can have 1 tetra plus 1 bar per day if you choose ! On 1000 programme, the milk allowance of 284 ml of skimmed milk is in addition to your choice of breakfast. You...

    Women's problems on CD??????

    moving up plans or leaving??

    Hi ! Obviously you need to take your CDC's advice, but I would not advise going straight from SS to 1000 or 1500. Could you afford to do 1 week 810, then move to 1000 plan, as this way you would be gradually reintroducing carbs, which is ideally what you need to do ? CAROLYN

    Cambridge and Biopsy

    Hi Jax ! You need to move up to the 1200 programme two weeks before your biopsy. After any surgery, you are not usually allowed to resume any CD programme until after 3 months , but your CDC needs to check with the CD Medical Officer, as each individual case is different. Good luck with the...

    I have a dilema!

    Hi ! You can take antibiotics on SS but you need to check whether your antibiotics need to be taken with food ( if so, take with the last drop of your shake / soup/ tetra/ porridge ) or if they are not to be taken with milk , take at least 1 hour before any CD product . I took antibiotics on...

    Hi ! I didn't try any of the recipes myself, because I was a bit worried in case I didn't like them & I wouldn't then have enough shakes left for that day ! ( my chemist was a miserable so-and-so who wouldn't have let me buy just the one extra shake to make up for it ! )

    Whats your motivation????

    My motivation was definitely the quick weight loss. I've tried every diet going in the last 10 years ( except the Tapeworm Diet ! LOL ) Although I followed every diet to the letter & weighed everything & didn't cheat, I would only lose 1 lb a week, then after a month, I wouldn't lose any more ...
  87. CAROLYN

    THE TAPEWORM DIET ( EEEWW !! )

    Yes, one girl from Bath spent £800 ( cost of trip to Mexico plus £500 for the tapeworm ) ! She lost 3 stones in 3 months, but she obviously hadn't heard of doing LT to achieve the same result ! LOL

    Chunky, I'm 5 ft 10 & had exactly the same problem ! I was told to stop at 10 stones, but had always been 9 stones 7 lbs, until I had my second daughter. Luckily I managed to lose another 5 lbs on refeed, but now my periods have stopped, so maybe 10 stones is better for me now ?

    An average LT day............

    Finished LT now, but used to have 14 chocolate & 7 strawberry ! Never tried the soup as so many people on here seemed to hate it & never tried the vanilla as I tried CD about 20 years ago, and that was the only flavour milkshake that CD did back then, so was having 21 per week !

    Another one for the ladies

    Ally, I have the same problem ! Finshed LT, did the refeed & have now missed 2 periods ! Saw doctor last Friday, told him that I don't think I'm pregnant, but he insisted on doing a test ! I get the results this Wednesday !

    TOTM PROBLEMS AFTER LT ?

  123. CAROLYN

    Yukky yukky week and 2nd weigh in

    Well done for getting straight back to LT ! I agree with Garry, register with more than one chemist . I ran out once over a Bank Holiday weekend because the chemist decided not to open on the Sunday that I was due for my WI ( had to borrow some CD shakes from a friend !!! )
  124. CAROLYN

    First weigh in!

    That's a FANTASTIC start, Laura !!
  125. CAROLYN

    What's your days menu on maintenance?

    Hi, band blue ! Yes, steamed white fish, which I couldn't stomach before, but I LOVE it ever since trying it again on refeed week !!!
  126. CAROLYN

    TOTM PROBLEMS AFTER LT ?

    Hi everyone ! I did refeed at my target weight, losing a further 5 lbs, and have maintained ever since, which I'm obviously pleased about BUT I've now missed 2 periods since finishing LT ! Don't think I'm pregnant ( Doctor still wanted to do a test & will get results next Wed ) I had TOTM as...

    Whats your BMI GOAL??

    Hi everyone ! I aimed for BMI 20 and managed to get there, so well chuffed !!
  130. CAROLYN

    Has anyone done the 1000 - 1500 cal option on Cambridge

    Hi Debs ! Yes it's a shake PLUS one of the breakfast options !!
  131. CAROLYN

    clearly don't wanna die but...

    Christiona, DON'T do it !!!! Get that third shake down you and get to the chemist tomorrow!! You MUST have all THREE shakes so that you get all the nutrients that your body needs !

    Weigh In Week 6

    You're doing really well, Julie !!
  133. CAROLYN

    I found that the more water I drank, the better my losses that week, like Harriet mentioned !!

    Fantastic losses every week & you're nearly half way there as well !!

    WK8 WI

    Well done, Lara for your positive attitude and great weight loss !!
  136. CAROLYN

    FAINTED

    Just a thought, have you been drinking enough water , as I found at the beginning that I usually felt faint if I hadn't drank enough water ? Hope you're feeling better soon !
  137. CAROLYN

    Support. What Support??? Grrrr....MEN!!!

    I agree and any OH who says you're too scrawny after getting to target needs to go without as well ( as I told MINE last night !! LOL !! )
  138. CAROLYN

    Wk 7 WI

    Well done, Howdy !

    I NEVER tried the flapjacks because most of the people on here hated them so much ! LOL !
  140. CAROLYN

    2nd Week WI...

    Well done, Vickie !
  141. CAROLYN

    2 weeks worth

    Well done, Linds ! Just wondered why you're not going for your WI every week now ?
  142. CAROLYN

    Isnt it strange that some people notice your weight loss and some dont?!

    I've only lost 37 pounds to reach target weight, but my OH, friends & family have said that I've overdone it & look too scrawny !! Definitely think it's jealousy because they're all overweight and I think that they just feel guilty because they haven't bothered trying to lose their weight too !!
  143. CAROLYN

    OMG.... ARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    The rain's good for my OH, though, because he's a taxi driver, so he'll be really busy tonight !!
  144. CAROLYN

    Wk 18....OMG!!!

    Hope things get better soon for you & well done for not using it as an excuse to cheat !! Your weight loss is AMAZING !!!
  145. CAROLYN

    ketosis ?

    ALL these are signs of ketosis, plus bad breath !!! The first week is usually the worst , but hang in there because you will soon feel better & your first WI will be so worth it !!
  146. CAROLYN

    OMG.... ARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Nicki, you made me laugh mentioning Council Tax, because I'm a Revenues & Benefits Officer for the Council & part of my job is to recover Council Tax from people who haven't paid it !!!
  147. CAROLYN

    Support. What Support??? Grrrr....MEN!!!

    I decided right at the start that I wasn't going to tell ANY friends or family or my OH that I was on LT because I knew that I would get no support whatsoever ! I managed to get to my target weight using support from everyone on this site instead !
  148. CAROLYN

    Do I go on Maintenance?

    I agree with Nicki, if you want a quick weight loss but can't stand LT shakes or flapjacks, I think CD might be worth a try. You can SS, then have an Add a meal week every 4 weeks if you want to include food occasionally on CD.
  149. CAROLYN

    WI 12!!

    Well done ! You'll soon be at your target weight !!

    i'm back on again having failed last year

    Good luck on your LT journey !!
  152. CAROLYN

    My first week.... Does it get any easier??

    Try not to cheat, it's not worth it, because it means that you'll have to stay on LT for longer !! Also some have found it harder to get the willpower to start LT a second time. The time will soon fly until October & you'll be so glad you stuck to LT !!
  153. CAROLYN

    OMG.... ARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Nicki, Hope everything's ok Had to wade through school playground earlier when I went to pick up kids !!

    Do you check you are in ketosis???

    No, I've never tested for ketosis. As has already been said, as long as you stick only to the LT, you MUST be in ketosis !!

    REACHED TARGET TODAY !!!!

    Thanks everyone ! BTW I STILL haven't told anyone apart from one mate that I was on LT ( AND that was only because chemist decided to shut early & the next day was a Bank holiday, so she agreed to let me have some CD she had left over !! ) People HAVE noticed that my clothes are really baggy (...

    REACHED TARGET TODAY !!!!

    Hi everyone ! Had my WI today and I'm at target !!! Starting refeed tomorrow and it's going to feel so strange actually eating a meal AND actually CHEWING ! LOL ! ( I've only ever had shakes and never tried the flapjacks !!! )

    I have failed already!

    You can do it, Oakwell & you'll lose the weight MUCH quicker on LT than any other diet !!!!

  177. CAROLYN

    This is so hard!!!!!!!

    You'll definitely lose weight on LT, it's the only diet that has EVER worked for me ( and I've tried them all over the last 20 years !! ) I have 2 kids to cook for as well & I've fed them all the meals that they like, but I DON'T, so I'm not tempted !!

    Thanks a lot, Tracey ! I'm a bit scared of refeeding to be honest as I don't really want to eat the amount of food suggested on the refeeding plan !! Thanks everyone else as well for your replies as I feel a bit more confident now, that I CAN lose these last few lbs ! I know it seems silly to...

    Ladies - do u lose less/more weight on ur period?

    Hi Missy ! I've had 2 periods since I started LT & did find that I lost less both times BUT I think that's just water retention because I had a good loss the week after instead ! Don't let it put you off if this happens to you !!

    HELP,run out of shakes, wot do I do???

    Carrie, same thing happened to me yesterday when my pharmacy decided to close early without telling me ! Are there any other pharmacies near you selling LT which may be open instead, such as in shopping centres ? You could then show them your LT WI card to prove that you're on the LT programme ?

    Hi Missy & welcome ! LT is a great diet & it works really quickly ! I'd also tried Atkins but it didn't work for me !! The first week on LT is the hardest until you get into ketosis, but stick with it & drink plenty of water & it'll be worth it at your first WI !!

    hi

    Good luck on your LT journey !!
  213. CAROLYN

    on days 4-7...?

    ONLY STARTED LT TODAY -HELP

    Definitely stick with it as the shakes do definitely taste better the longer that you're on this diet. After 3 weeks I'm also finding that the shakes do now taste sweeter . I think that your tastebuds will change too after a while !
