Hi yes it is the same, i did LT and CD and losses are same, average loss is around 1st a month on both diets. CD has alot more choice but you have to decide if that is good or bad.
Some people say having alot of choice of products and flavours makes it harder for them and means they want to eat more.
It worked great for me as i do ss+ and get to have a 200cal meal each day too, still same losses as LT.
Not only do they have loads more flavours of shake but they have porridge for brekkie, and edible lol choc bars not like LT flapjacks, yuk!! Also CD have ready made shakes, so much easier to take if you are out all day.
Personally i would always choose CD over LT but everyone is different.
