Doctor?

[NumNums]

Hi all.

Just got my CD booklet in from my CDC. It says I have to contact my doctor before I can start CD regardless of BMI so that my GP can monitor if they feel the need to.

Did anyone else do this? And did you need a note or letter of confirmation about this for your CDC?

I only though you went doc if your BMI was over 40 ???

Have i got that wrong has it changed then?

I didnt do that, just went along to the CDC, think Mrs E is spot on...

Says at the end of the SS booklet to consult your GP. Maybe I'll phone my CDC.

Is it a new book or does it relate to being on meds/ underlying conditions etc?

If you are on any medication, or have a BMI of 40+ you need a doctors signature

If you are going to be doing SS, your CDC will send a letter to the doctor to inform them

Virtually all diets add a message about consulting the doctor when embarking on a weight loss or exercise programme I don't think many people do though and you will not be prevented from doing the diet if you don't, unless the medication/BMI40+ thing applies

Okay thanks all

Phoned CDC, she said she doesn't think I'll need to contact my GP unless I have any problems.

So I offically start the 7th Jan

Right now going to take the christmas tree down cause it's in my way.
