Hi,
I have been wanting to start the CD diet for a while now. I contacted a consultant and was advised due to my BMI being 46 I needed to get my GP to sign the form. So I arranged for a GP appointment, where after 15mins of arguing I was unsuccessful... the GP point blank refused to sign it saying she doesnt endorse it... i did explain i wasnt asking her to endorse it but simply just to agree what i had put on the form was correct... she also emailed other GPs in the practice whilst i was in the room asking if anyone else would sign the form, to which she told me the reply was no.
So i rahter angrily left the Appointment and proceeded to contact the consultant to advise them that my GP would not sign the form and the consultant told me that I would not be able to proceed with the Diet plan.
Over the past few weeks I have had many friends who have been successful with the CD and I am slightly envious that they were able to proceed yet I was not. So i got to researching and found that It is possible to commence without a GP signature until such times my BMI falls below the suitable level to do that lower steps.
SO what I am wondering is... is this possible???
Also I suffer from poly cystic ovarian syndrome, and was wondering if this would be a contraindication to any of the plans and if without a GP signature would I be eligible for the lower caloried plans.
I am desperate to lose weight and like many have failed to achieve this, and not only have i failed to achive it but i have also gained more weight due to low self esteem. I am in a RUT and I very much want to get out of it... hopefully with the help of CD.
If anyone has any help or suggestions I welcome them
