I LOVE cd!!!!! BUT at times I feel it is really frustrating hearing about other peoples experiences with their CDC's.
I know this forum is all about support, and I always try to help anyone who is struggling or who has a query , but what really frustrates is when someone comes along and gives advice which is plainly wrong!!! based on what they have been told by their CDC..
Let me clarify.... This week I have read.... that some CDC's tell their clients who are doing ss, that they can definitely have coke zero (yes I know it's a grey area) but also normal diet drinks such as diet coke, sprite zero which contain citric acid (these things are clearly not allowed on the plan)
In one post I read a CDC had said someone could have a glass of red wine??
Some CDC's apparently say that it is fine to have chicken and salad if someone is struggling...
Now, at times this diet is really hard, but the thing is I have read the information on the diet and all the scientific research is based on the way it's supposed to be done... hence ss you have nothing except what is stated in the book! ss+ you have nothing except what is stated in the book....
It is upsetting when we see people who follow this advice, that they either get from a CDC or read on here, they then end up being unable to cope with resulting cravings and fall of the wagon big time....
Now 2 things....
I am not a saint, I am doing 100% because although it can be really hard, i have fallen into the traps above previosuly and fell off the wagon and want to do this journey the fast way this time.
I am not criticising people who struggle, we all struggle. What I am criticising is those who give out incorrect advice, advice that can really harm peoples attempt at doing this plan effectively. It is even more frustrating when this info comes from CDC's
On here the CDC's all seem so knowledgable about the diet, they give such sound advice and are a constant source of help and information, it must be frustrating for them too when the hear what other CDC's are reported to have said.
I am sure that some people might be ofended by my words, but it is just my observation and my frustration. I am not attacking anyone particular person.
Please don't flame me!!!
