Step 1 Sole Source + First day on Cambridge

[F1ona]

Hello. I have been reading this forum to try and get some support and motivation to start Cambridge. I have had the shakes in my kitchen for nearly two weeks now and I have now found the courage to start! The thought of being hungry scares me..... I am a boredom/stress/emotional eater too so I reckon this will be a massive challenge.

Anyone able to buddy with me to keep me going?

Good luck and well done to all you successful Cambridge dieters out there!!!!

Hi F1ona,
I'm on day 4 now of ss+ an it really isn't as bad as I anticipated. The key is to remain busy I.e read a new book, do a spring clean. I've just taken up doing cross-stitch which I would never thought of doing before, but it takes your mind off things. I think yesterday (3rd day) has been the hardest so far, but hoping ketosis will kick in today and it will get easier!

Good Luck
Ellie

Did you manage to get started Hun? X

 

[F1ona]

Hi. Yes! I am now on day 5 and think I must be in ketosis as I am really not hungry at all...which is fab! Since I started at the beginning of the week, I am 4lbs down. I know some people say not to weigh yourself every day, but seeing the losses really motivates me!

Bring it on!

Thanks for your reply x

 

[F1ona]

Hi and thanks for your reply. I found day 4 the worst so far, but day 5 much much easier.

How are you feeling?

Which shakes are you enjoying? I love the choc mint. Feels v naughty!!

Good luck and keep going x

Hi fiona and Elna. I am on day 11 and week two is so much better than week one. I have more energy and feel normal again so don't worry if u find this week really tough it does get easier once you're in ketosis. Day 3-5 were probably worse for me. But weekends in general I find tough so lets see how this weekend goes! I lost 10 lbs in my first week and hoping to loose 5-7 lbs this week! Good luck for the rest of the week to you both. Keep me posted. K x

Hi ladies, I'm on day 13 and can feel the weight melting off. The first few days are the hardest, I think once I got past day 4 I was cruising. Beginning of my second week I found myself fantasizing about eating food so just kept myself busy and here I am, still 100% on plan. Weigh day tomorrow, fingers crossed for a good result.

I'm on day 6 today and have my first weigh in tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing what iv lost. Have actually found day 5 and 6 more difficult than the first few days for some reason! Can't stop thinking about food today! X

Hi Kimmy here, just started CD today on sole source. Doing ok trying to avoid the kitchen and temptation. Trying to get used to the food, liked the shakes vanilla and butterscotch, and the spicy tomato soup, however the porridge is not my bag, took one mouthful and had to throw it away.

On what day does the hunger start to fade?

 

[krazzed]

When u go into ketosis which can be anywhere from 3-5 days. Stick with it the first week is tough but week two you will feel great and it will get easier. It's more of a mental struggle because I started to crave everything but in week 4 now I'm not craving things as much as I was! I wish you all the best with it... You can do it!!!

week 1 - 10 lbs
week 2 - 4 lbs
week 3 - +3.5lbs (after a few days off plan)
