    Friday or Saturday

    I would definitely start on Friday as the first 3 or 4 days are the worst and at least you can do what you feel like doing those days and then you will start to feel better by the time you go back to work. Good luck - you will get lots of great support here.

    Don't worry about it - a few weeks I only lost 1lb and then the week after much more - I am sure you will have lost inches instead. Its just your body adjusting to what's going on. If you stick to CD and don't cheat you can't fail to lose weight. Good luck

    Question for the CDC's and long term dieters.

    I am sure you will look noticeably different by Nov if you stick to the plan. I have lost 2 stone now and a lot of people have commented to me about my weight loss in the last couple of weeks. Good luck and I am sure you will also feel my fitter and healthier by your 40th!

    Funny Taste

    It affects each person in a different way - get some ketostix from the chemist if you are worried and they will tell you if you are in ketosis. If you do get bad breath or that funny taste in your mouth (I do) then buy a breath freshener spray which will keep you feeling fresh!

    New & Seeking Advice

    Hi - good luck you should definitely try it. I thought life would be strange without food but I don't feel hungry as long as I have my shakes and plenty of water. I have found this the easiest diet to stick to and am losing steadily. If you don't want to go without food then you can go SS+ -...

    Sole Source Plus Option 2

    thanks for the recommendations of the salad dressings. I am still doing SS only but I may well start introducing the meal shortly. Re 2 or 3 packs a day. My CDC stressed the importance of getting the protein, carb etc balance right and that this was what helped you lose weight and not starve...

    Hi - I used to turn to food if I was sad, bored, happy etc. The great thing about CD is that it has taken that option away. Put it behind you, drink your water and before you know it you'll be back in ketosis (remember only to test yourself on your first wee of the day) and losing weight...

    Would it really hurt?

    you are best to have a tetra rather than give in and eat a take away or something "bad". When I mentioned to my CDC that I had been feeling tired - 2 kids plus a job take it out of me - she told me to have an extra shake or even just half a packet of shake to keep me going - its not many...

    I'd give it another go. If you start now you could be at your target for christmas. As others have said you can still go out and socialise and have a SS+ type meal. I miss going out at the moment and will do anything to avoid it but I take the view that its only a few months out of my life to...

    Mmmm Yummy

    Its hard to explain - you can use the bouillon like a stock cube so its a stock type taste - I will definitely have a cup as I need something different. The CDCs sell a CD version but I think this one is cheaper - it costs less than £2 for a tub. Its a bit like chicken noodle soup without the...
