Hi all,
Am considering the Cambridge Diet because from the success so many of you have had, and the speed with which it happens, it appeals to me so much more than WW or any other type of diet, esp since I have been on and off diets for years, and none have made much difference.
One question - can I just go cold turkey and take the plunge straight away with SS, or should I go down through the stages as I read one person suggesting on here? I would prefer to just start, because I want to start losing weight a.s.a.p, and at the moment am the busiest I will probably ever be at work, so don't want to have to spend time thinking about food, and would rather do that once I have made some progress.
What does everyone think?
And also, how do you handle telling your friends/work colleagues etc that you're on this fairly extreme diet? I know my work colleagues would think it wierd!
Would be great to hear from other people with advice on what it is actually like to be on the diet, rather than the food/meal aspects of it, which I reckon I can deal with (because you just have to!), but it is the social aspects I think I'll find hard!
Thanks!
