Hi everyone. 3 years ago I lost 5 stone using the Cambridge Diet, but I have managed to put it all back on and some. I have also been diagnosed with ME and when this first started I put on 2 stone in 1 month and I really wasn't just stuffing my face for the month either. Since then, every time I cut down on food, my weight seems to go up, so I then give up and eat "normally" again and my weight goes down, so this is confusing me. So I need to stay off the scales for a week and see what happens if I stay 100% on track for the week.
What I really wanted to ask was..... has anyone successfully lost their weight a second time using CD? I have heard stories that it is less successful after the first time and just want to be prepared. I really want to do this as I have no control over how my body feels day to day with ME, and I know that I will have control over what I put in my mouth, hence gaining back some control over my body..... all my joints are also swollen, hands, knees, ankles and wrists and they never go down so this could be part of my weight gain. Here's hoping anyway.
So I am sitting here with my shake with great hopes for the future, I just need to stay positive.
