Switch! With SW you will be able to eat normal food and plenty of it. So what if you gain your first week.................your body will get used to it and the pounds will drop off. xxx

My friend has gone from cambridge to slimming world. The first week she didn't lose but maintained (stuck to red days) she then went on to lose 1lb in her second week, she has slowly included more carbs and is now following EE. She has not gained once. She rang her consultant before joining and followed the advice of keeping low carb to start with as if you start on carbs straight away your body will retain them as it will think you are going to starve it again (the technical term is to do with glycogen sparing etc etc) She is not eating a normal EE diet now after 4 weeks on the plan and is loosing. You won't get huge losses initially but you get a plan that will suit you for life.

I'm the same! Bought Cambridge packs last week, after 2 days I had the most horrific headache & sickness!!

Going to start sw although had carbs straight away, didn't realise I shouldnt, although only done it for 2 days so prob wouldn't matter. Officially starting class on Tuesday vlcd's are great for fast weight loss but in my experiences they don't work long term (for me) as I can't stick to it long enough to lose enough for to reach management so it's a constant struggle.

Sw I've done before & lost weight and at least you don't have to end your social life on sw & can make your weight loss more long term x

Thats what i am thinking hun we can do it I am starting Saturday but going to group mondays i was 100% for 6 days but it was the thought of another powderd meal it made me feel awful!! My family and i want to change for life this will be the best plan xxx

No you cant live the rest of yr life on powdered meals, with S W you eat normal healthy food, plenty of it, can have a little treat everyday, and lose weight, or if you want to maintain if at target up yr healthy extras!

Hi Sam I did Cambridge last year, lost 5 stone but had to stop as my body really needed food in the end, but I went a bit crazy with food and didn't follow another specific route and therefore gained weight. It's takes your body time to re adjust to eating "normal" food and basically it goes into shock but will re-adjust . I've just joined SW and I'm
Amazed at how much you can eat.

Good luck x
