Hey everyone!
I am curious to know please, what your plans are re food over the Xmas period?
My CDC said I have 3 options;
1. I can abstain completely i.e. stick to the Cambridge plan as I have been doing.
2. I could eat everything in sight and totally come off the diet and go back on it in the New Year.
3. Lastly I can eat sensibly, e.g. lots of meat and veggies (high protein foods and very few or no carbs).
I have come up with a secret fourth option though - to eat what I want, but sensibly. I simply cannot envisage a Christmas without Yorkshire puds and roasties So I'm thinking a normal Christmas dinner as I have always had, BUT I will halve (or even third!) my portion sizes.
In any event my CDC told me that on her first Xmas Day after starting Cambridge, her eyes were bigger than her stomach (probably literally too, hehe), and she piled her plate up with lots of crimbo goodies, but when it came to it, all she could manage to eat was one slice of turkey, one small Yorkshire pud and one and a half roast potatoes!! So u see, I may well not be able to manage much anyway!
I'm hoping that will be ok. I'm sure that I will put some weight on over the festive period but I feel that i would rather plan ahead as to how I will manage things rather than naively think that I could possibly stick to the CWP whilst my OH and family are tucking in around me!
