Blood donation whilst on cd?

[Bundlesmummy]

Does anyone know what step you have to be on before you can do blood donation? I've had a message that stocks of my blood are low and they want people to come forward..
any thoughts anyone I can't get hold of my counsellor

The official advice is here: Cambridge Weight Plan: Consumer FAQs: Medical Queries: Is it all right to continue the Sole Source programme if giving blood?

It's advised that you should be on 1200 cals the week before and the week after giving blood.
