Hiya
Would appreciate some advice please girls...
I did CD 4yrs ago and lost about 4 stone but had to come off as got a very bad kidney infection (had previously had a couple of UTIs whilst on the diet but nothing major) and told I had to start eating straight away
Couple of years after that I tried CD again but not with my mind set to it and within a week got another kidney infection so once again gave up and the cd councilor said it could be too much protein for me as I don't eat alot on a regular basis
Anyway fast forward to now and I've had no more bouts of infections so started exante 2weeks 2 days ago and have lost just over a stone which I am very very pleased about however I have been for a wee about 40 million times and can feel my kidneys twinging again,plus my heads pounding and I feel dreadfull I'm gutted!!!!!:sigh:
So what do I do,I'm thinking a vlcd is not for me and I'm devastated but as a mother of 3 kids my health is far more important..However I don't want to regain the weight I have lost.I also have over 2 weeks worth of shakes left and I'm guessing I can't return them!!
Can I use the shakes like you would use slim fast?? so 2 a day and then a 400 cal meal (or whatever it is) and how do I ensure I don't put any weight on??
many thanks
a very upset and gutted cdg xx
Not had any other bouts of it
