Well, I pay roughly the same as the others, but it's worth looking at what you spend on food and snacks now.
Before CD I'd have perhaps 2 or 3 coffees out a week, with the obligatory muffin or cake - so £4 each - £12 a week. Then there'd be the chocolate. Hmm, at least a £1 a day I reckon
- £7 a week.
That's over half the cost of CD alone just there.
Biscuits and snacks at home, plus one takeaway, plus normal food.... it all mounts up.
My other thought about doing CD rather than an alternative diet is that you'd pay £6 a week for WW or similar, plus you are still buying your weekly shop, which will include all those high priced 'branded' low fat/cal cakes and crisps etc. plus the normal food you'd eat. So I would think that you'd spend more a week on WW than on CD - unless you are disciplined and only ate 3 meals a day which you cooked from scratch.
Finally, it's seems a lot each week, but you will be dieting for less than half the time of being on any other 'normal' diet.
So, it is expensive when you have to hand ove the cash each week, but when you add up what you spend now in little bits, and what you would spend if you did a more conventional diet you can see that CD isn't really any more expensive.
But then again, I'm a fan... Can you tell?
