I know the feeling....parties and bbq's just arent the same! But if you need some extra persuasion for avoiding alcohol while on CD have a read of these threads below...alcohol can be very dangerous if you are in ketosis, even fatal in some cases. If you really have to drink, make sure you eat...

Hi all. I did CD last year and lost 3.5 stone...I have recently restarted on SS. Unfortunately my previous CDC no longer lives in my area so I have a new one. She has told me that I should add vegetables to my soups...broccoli, celery, peas etc and this is a new thing that has recently been...

All of my weight losses are in my signature but to sum up in 7 weeks I lost 2st 6lbs. I havent had an official weigh in this week but think I have lost another 3lbs...not updating my signature til its official though next week!! Good luck xxx

I know you dont want to but I would definitely change my surgery. Why is the other one in your area rubbish? Could you not just change temporarily? I wouldn't want to keep seeing a GP who clearly knows nothing about CD and doesn't sound prepared to find out either! My nan's doctor actually...

I was also told I could have them AFTER the first 2 weeks so started having them in week 3....

sorry posted twice...

I only saw that post from icemoose cos its the 3rd most viewed thread on this forum....(after 'word association' and 'last person to post wins')!! but definitely gives you food for thought if you're thinking about having it done xxx

does anyone know which of these is best as I was going to get the capsules that contain the psyllium husks but the Fibresure powder has loads more fibre in it per serving so thought this would be better? but more people seem to be recommending the capsules? xx

I think 'icemoose' had a tummy tuck on the NHS...not sure if any of you have seen it but there's a very interesting thread all about the op, here's the link: http://www.minimins.com/cambridge-diet-forum/17935-what-happens-when-you-have-tummy-tuck.html xxx

Hi, sorry am a bit late in posting on this one...am quite new on here. Well im 23 and was also a size 16/18 and similar weight. I think it depends on how elastic your skin is....you know some people get stretch marks really easily and others never do? well my skin is not very elastic at all...

I would like to stop wearing black clothes all the time! and as FYP said...go into shops and buy clothes that I like rather than just anything that fits!! Also am going travelling for a year in September so would like to be able to wear clothes that I want and not worry about having to cover up...

I am also 5 ft 7in and have an initial goal of 11st 5lb. This will mean I am a healthy weight and as I have a large frame I think I might look too bony if I am any less than that...will have to wait and see though, I cant remember the last time I weighed 11st 5lb so have no idea how i will look! xx

Hello....im a bit confused. My CDC has advised me to have an AAM week but when I asked her about the size of the portions she didnt seem sure...she told me to check the booklet that she gave me. I had a look at this and couldnt work out which step showed the portion amounts for AAM. So I sent...

My boobs have definitely gone south since losing weight so I started using nivea Q10 firming lotion on them before I go to bed and it does seem to have firmed them up a bit and have only been using it for a few days. Will wait and see though....cant see mine ever being 'pert' now!! xx

thanks for your replies...that makes sense now! just a bit worried as a plan to have a 'cheat' night for my birthday on 17th may and am scared at the thought im gonna gain half a stone in water! nevermind i'll hopefully get straight back to SS afterwards! xxx

I feel the same about this diet! I'm finding it soooo easy at the moment and the weight just keeps falling off! I had never heard of CD until a few months ago when my nan's doctor recommended it to her cos she was too overweight to have a hip operation. She has now lost 3.5 stone and have never...

I was just wondering why CD makes you lose so much water, especially in the first week...is it to do with glycogen? I think its really strange that you can gain a few pounds in water after having one bad meal and lose it again when going back to SS? Any ideas? xxx

My worst day was definitely day 4! Stomach was rumbling all day long and then went to play badminton in the evening (wasnt aware you werent supposed to exercise in the first 2 weeks! thanks cdc!) and could hardly lift my feet to run as had no energy at all...when I got home I had my last CD pack...

I had the same problem when I started exercising. I started 4 aerobics classes a week while I was on the slimming world diet and ended up putting on half a stone. Although I was a lot fitter and more toned I ended up at a plateau with my weight which was one of the reasons I started CD. I have...

oh dear, ive done this a few times. Im on cambridge and dont think I can buy the packs from chemists? the first time i did it I ended up buying some chicken and picking at that during the day but i found this just made me feel hungry for the rest of the week. When Ive done it since then I just...
