[h=2]Just started cambridge diet...it isn't going well!!![/h]

Hey. i just started the Cambridge diet, I did loads of research before hand and I felt like this diet would really suit me as I have a history of when on diets starving myself completely and feeliung guilty whenever I eat anything! dunno why..lol. I thought with this diet I'd atleast know I didn't need to feel guilty and cry if I ate anything because I'd be on a VLCD anyway.

I started the diet on Thursday the 27th of June. I did a prep week the week before where I tried to make dinner just for my 3 year old, and trying not to eat as i prepare the meal and also drinking between 2-3 litres of water a day. I started the prep week weighing 15 stone. And when I got weighed when I first met my consultant I weighed 14 stone 10...so I lost 4 lb without really trying.

Day 1 went really well, i didn't get hungry and I drqank 3 litres of water but i wasn't going to the toilet (no 1) which I thought was wierd because i was drinking loads....by Saturday morning I was starting to feel like I had a bug. I had to do an unexpected house move and spent 5 hours running up and down a 3 storey house, all whilst looking after my 3 year old and didn't get a chance to eat my lunch shake untill 2.45 (I had my breakfast shake at 6am). By 4 oclock I felt so ill i had my dinner shake. By 8 was over the toilet being sick. I ate a bowl of cereal because i thought I may have overdone it a bit and could probably needed something.

I woke this morning feeling slightly better but I am worried that I have a bug. My stomach is really bloated and I feel like I've actually put on weight!! I don't have scales to check this

I am worried about my weigh in on thursday. I ate on only day 2!!!!! It isn't hunger making me want to eat...I feel soooooooooooooooo ill!!!! Do you think I have a bug or is it normal to get like this when on the Cambridge Diet?

I have drank 3 litres of water already today and I have only been to the toilet once......really confused! What shall I do? eat normally until the bug passes or stuck with it?​

have you contacted your CDC to let them know how you're feeling? I'm not really sure what to recommend as I only started 6 days ago but if you're feeling ill mayb try contacting your GP tomorrow and see what they say....

Really sorry you're feeling so ill. I was nauseous and threw up on day 2 but have felt fine since, have had one major blip (involving chips and gravy) but I'm still positive about WI tomorrow. Hope you feel better soon xxx

I would maybe SS+ for a few days to see if the protein makes u feel better? The cereal has prob knocked u out of ketosis tho! I was ill in week 3 with a viral - vomiting, constant headaches, no appetite (I know?! On this diet?! Lol) and constipated and my CDC told me to have a SS+ meal til I felt better. I've heard about a lot of people being sick with the shakes etc tho so maybe use half at a time? Hope this helps xx

It is definetly a bug...my 3 year old has now started being poorly and my sister who helped with the move has just called and said she is sick too. I think I;m going to SS+ for a few days. Don't think i can cope with feeling this ill whilst looking after a poorly 3 year old too. I feel like my willpower is failing now. Too many things working against me. Just made some chicken souo for my little'un...it smells AMAZING!!!!! and it is super healthy...seems so wierd that i'm eating these horrible packaged soups and shakes! But i've got to keep telling myself that I tried healthy eating and it didn't work. I need to cut the ties (with food) so I can start entirely fresh. Doctors appointment tomorrow, no car so it's an hour long walk aswell!! Ho hum. Just get through these next few days! Please please please be a weight loss this week! xx

Yeh just stick to SS+ the protein will help ur body fight the bug! I longed for toast the week I was ill but I stuck to grilled chicken and broccoli or salad. I only lost 1lb that week but it was also plateau week so I was expecting it! Have made up for it since tho. Hope u feel better soon xx
