This one should do the trick; Buy Argos Value Range Hand Blender - White at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for Hand blenders. but like Simmy1978 says most supermarkets do them for less that a fiver :)

Hi, SS & SS+ are VLCD ranging between, 440 and 640kcal a day so on those steps you will go into ketosis, or active fat burning mode, if you like. I would say don't get to concerned about ketosis and don't waste you're money on ketostix, if you are following the plan you will be in ketosis :)...

Hiya, CWP official line is no soft drinks on SS /SS+ even diet and Zero ones. However apparently they use to, and in my experience the equivalent of a can (330mls) a day doesn't hurt, but do watch the calories and carbs on these type of drinks as they aren't always zero calories even though...

I know it sounds a bit daft but make sure you're having your full 810kcals as having less can slow or even stop your weight loss. When on SS / SS+ you're in ketosis, but on 810 you're not so if having less than 810kcals you're body is likely to go into starvation mode and so hang on to...

I thought we couldn't have onions or balsamic vinegar or salt? X You can have a little salt so long as you don't go mad, balsamic ok, again so long as you don't go mad, and although it is spring onions are on the list of foods, normal onions are okay too, avoid red or sweet onions though as...

I did SS for 3 months without letting on to anyone. You know your friends and who you can tell and who not too. If you are out for lunch maybe just get a black coffee take a bar out of its wrapper and nibble that or just hold it in the wrapper hiding the CWP logo as far as their concern its just...

Don't be frightened if mixing it up a bit like Ruby says, half and half the portions (1 egg & half portion of prawns etc in an omelette) add a little balsamic vinegar or fat free dressing to your tuna, (alright its not mayonnaise, buts its not bad). dry fry your chicken with some onions and or...

Hi, You're only supposed to have 1 bar a day because of the higher calories and carbs which can slow you getting into ketosis, or affect ketosis once you're there. The bar can also cause wind and discomfort, so having more than one certainly isn't a good idea ;-) There's a FAQ in page 48 of the...

Yes it will calm down after a few days, as you get rid of the glycogens you also lose water so it's not just the fluid your drinking, once they reduced it gets better :-) also try maybe not drinking too much after say 8pm that worked for me.

Hi, There's no problem with you doing that, infact it is recommended by CWP for those that don't tolerate the high vitamin content in one go. The only caution is to half the powder and make the 2 halves up separately, but I think that's what you have done anyway. Mixing it all up together and...

Hi, I agree with other posts it is just a case of finding out what you like and sticking to it :) As for not having bars for the first two weeks, yes that is the CWP advise, (I presume you're doing SS it doesn't apply to step 2 or above) that's because of the higher calories ands carbs which...

Hi, I haven't used slim and save and although at first look it appear much cheaper it isn't. To do the equivalent of SS for example you would have 4 Save & Slim products at a cost of £38.99 (they also suggest having selected salad or veg on top of that so more cost). Plus for me the biggest...

Hi, sorry guys but the 200ml semi skimmed allowance is only for SS+ with the 4 products, not 3 and a meal. See the CWP site for confirmation http://www.cambridgeweightplan.com/6steps.asp You add 200kcals to SS to make it SS+, either by adding a meal or an extra product and a milk allowance...

Hi, I completely agree don't get so hung up over the Ketones, You could pee on a stix everytime and you will probably get at least one that is negative, especially if you drinking your water you will obviously pee more and the ketones will be more diluted, so may not show up on the stix. I...

Hi, You don't really want to be cheating if you can help it, it will only prolong the agony, so to speak. It never is easy at the start, perhaps this would be like a false start. Once your body has used up its stores of glycogens it for energy it then starts burning fat for energy (ketosis)...

Hi, Thanks for all your responses, they certainly make interesting/intriguing reading. My CDC full price list; Shakes/Soups - £1.95 Bars - £2.25 Tetras - £2.30 Drink Mix - £6.75 Mix a Mousse - £5.00 Fibre 89 - £6.25 Ketostix - £0.15 each I actually live “up north” as you might have...

Hi Guys, Just restarted after a break for a couple of months (holidays, couple of birthdays etc ;)). I was quite surprised when my CDC told me of a price increase, if I'm been honest I didn't expect one with the recession and all. New prices; Sachets - £1.95 Bars - £2.25 Tetras - £2.30...

Hi, Started a new berry water flavouing the other day is leaving the water cloudy and leaving a scummy residue on the glass, not been like this before, tastes okay, just doesn't look right. Not the water tried tap and bottle water doing the same with both. Anybody else had problems? or...

10lb week 1 thats great, keep it going.

Looking good :cool:

Hi Sharon, No need to be embarrassed, we all go to the toilet, even the queen. :rolleyes: I too get a bout off the runs every now and then, some people say it’s the concentrated vitamins etc in the shakes. Strangle I seem to be looser the less water I drink :confused:, so maybe the...

A stone thats great, keep it going :)

Well done, keep it going:)

Not tried the Tetras hot, like the idea of the custard, might just have to try that tomorrow.

Thanks guys, Gave up arguing with CDC, no discussing with CDC, so did SS+ for a week. Still think she is out of date, wanted me to do old AAM not SS+. Anyway I've printed off some of the posting from the site and given them to her. Still insisting you should do AAM in week 5, but at least...

Good look with your "restart". We've all been there, lost the weight but it back on, lost it again etc . . . Here hoping we can keep the weight off this time. How did you find the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with LL? Take Care.

Hi Guys, Just completed my fifth week and lost 4lb, taking my total loss to 2 stone, well chuffed :D. My CDC insisted I AAM so did a week of SS+, first day back on SS hope I can go back to not eating again, did stay in Ketosis though last week, and lost 4lb so if I struggle I might just go...

Great first week, well done :D I also but bottles in the fridge at night for the next day, if I'm at work i.e. Mon - Fri, I have a 2litre and 2x 1 litre sports cap bottles (Asda's I find are the cheapest 6 x litre bottles for £1.87), I try and drink a litre before leaving the house, and then...

Well done with your loss Miss B, and good luck with SS, I find it easier that SS+, it's easier to not eat that eat only once a day. Keep going :)

Well done, I know you are disappointed, but try and be positive, it's better than no loss, and hopefully you'll have a big lose next week. Take Care

Hey well done, I hope I can do as well as you, an inspiration :D

Hi Martin, Another bloke here :) In my 5th week, lost 1st 10lb so far. Keep going.

Hi Remia, You can download the "Sole Source" booklet here: http://www.cambridge-diet.co.uk/brochures/solesource.pdf And the "Managing you weight" booklet here: http://http://www.cambridge-diet.co.uk/brochures/booklet_myw.pdf Both on the CD website unfortunately there doesn't seen to...

Thanks Guys. I'm so confused about this AAM. My CDC insists I have to do it to keep my metabolism going, and that it is still part of the program, I even told her I had read on here and the Pink Forum that you no longer had to AAM in week 5 but she still insists saying that that is wrong and...

Hi Guys, Just had my 3rd weigh in another 5lb lost, taking my total loss to 1½ Stone. :bliss: One more week then it's AAM, may CDC is on holiday now so any suggestions for meals?? Take Care.

Hi Guys, Had second weigh in this morning lost another 6lbs, that 1 stone 2 pounds in total, in first 2 weeks, so far so good. Back at work next week, will see how that goes.

I'm in week 2 and my CDC has allowed me Bars, in fact there was no mention of not been allowed until week 3, is this something new.:confused: I'm not convinced my CDC is completely up to date, e.g. she is telling me I should AAM in week five and that I believe changed in February. I'm now at...

Many thanks All, I'll speak with my CDC, she hasn't given me the SS booklet will all this be in there??

Thanks Mini, however I must be thick, because I still don't know is I have to AAM in week five or not. My CDC wrote to my GP when I started SS and so far has not had any reply.

Hi Guys, My CDC tells me I MUST add a meal in week 5 for the week, however, I have read in some postings that that is no longer required, can anyone advise?? I'd rather not, after adjusting to not eating, I think I'll find it hard to start eating for a week, and then stop again.:( Many thanks.

Hi KD, I have just atrted week 2 and my CDC has told me I must add a meal in week 5, are you saying that this is no longer the case???? :confused:

Hi Guys, Just had my first weigh in and lost 10lb :D :D. Looking forward to trying the bars now, and the briks. Feeling please with myself, :cool: Hope I can keep it up. :( Take care.

Hi Andy, I'm a man, at least I was the last time I could see to check without a mirror. :D :D I've just Started on CD SS 1 week ago, today is my first weigh in day so fingers crossed. I've found things okay but I'm still feeling hungry. I've been off work though, not sure how I'll get...

I’m new to both forums and out of the two forums so far I prefer this one, it seems friendlier ;)

Hi Ginette, I've just done the same, gone to Holland and Barrett to find only the capsuales, however I got H & B Regucol, which is Psyllium Husk powder with Probiotics (bonus ;)), per dose has: <1 Kcal, <1g Carbs and <1g Protein. So I'm presuming it will be OK. Going to try making...

Hi Beverley, When made up with 150 mls of water contains: Energy 11kcal, Protein 0.2g, Carbohydrate 2.5g, Fat Nil. is this still a No, No ???? :(

I can get on the site but not the forums, been like that since yesterday.

HI Guys, I am on day 6 of SS, and I think I'm doing OK, although still feel hungry.:( I’m aware of the general rules around what you can and cannot drink, i.e. black tea (leaf tea), and coffee, obviously water, no cordials etc, but I do not drink tea or coffee.:sigh: I do however drink...

Hi Guys, I'm nearly at the end of my second day on SS, I expected some change to my bowel habit, read people talk about constipation etc. Going from solid food to completely liquid food I expected to perhaps be a little loose to start with, however today I have had several episodes of...

Thanks Guys Got at least 7 stone to lose. Day 2 and feeling hungry

Thanks Guys. I,ve got at least 7 stone to lose Day 2 feeling hungry

Hi, Guys, I started CD yesterday so far so good Just trying all the shakes and soups to see what I like, so far like the cappuccino and vanilla, not to sure about the orange winter spice, of fruits of the forest. Don’t think I’ll be having the chilli soup again. I’m doing SS and I’m...
