Now I’m not trying to do the Cambridge diet down or anything – I lost 1.5 stones in 4 weeks doing various stages so I am a big fan.
However, I had 2 colds whilst on it. I’m normally able to ward off coughs and colds and I certainly would not have to ring in sick if I did have a bit of a sniffle.
I was very well during the first week but towards the end I felt achy and fluey. Despite my best efforts to battle through it on paracetomal I ended up being sent home and having to resort to cold remedies that of course were calorie and carbohydrate laden. This meant that my weight loss slowed down but I did still loose. The cold returned again mid week 4!!
I know that the shakes & soups are supposed to be nutritionally balanced but I feel that they aren’t balanced for everyone. I did start taking additional vitamins and minerals and having a vitamin C & zinc fizzy tablet each day. The fizzy tablet again slowed down my weight loss.
I am due to have a hysterectomy next week (it has been put back a week) so cannot risk another cold now. I have now come off CD in preference for the Atkins (low fat) which I have done before without getting a cold.
How have other folk been on CD?
