My first week on The Cambridge Diet

[plumpelicious]

Well I've got over my first week day 4 I have to say was my day from hell, dizzy, headache, emotional etc etc but I got through it and had my first weigh in today........ 11lbs lost and a total of 9 inches lost, no it wasn't easy for the first few days but I can honestly say it gets better and I feel so much more alive !!!!! x

[GaryWatson]

Hi There, I am Day 2 into my CD and feeling ok Day 1 was horrendous, have you been weighting a week until the first weigh or checking it out daily?

 

[MissyMe1234]

What exactly is the cambridge diet?
You shouldnt be feeling this horrible!

 

[nicola223]

Hey how are you getting on with your CD?

A started back on wed after a 4 week break from it.

Yeah when a first started it a was weighing my self all the time but a was going to my consultant every week to get weight.

Your probably better just getting weight once a week cause you can go up and down a few lbs a day.

The results are great though.

What step are you doing?

I lost nearly two stone last summer on the Cambridge diet, lost 13lbs in the first week. I couldn't stick with it very long as I felt too tired even on step 2. My friend swears by it and has just started again.

Good luck

The major problem I found with the Cambridge Diet was that I didn't complete the steps after losing the weight... I thought I could manage it but I obviously couldn't.
My willpower is very strong so sticking to the shakes for a few months wasn't a problem (took around 4-5 months to complete). I just didn't allow my social diary to take into account that I should have regularly built up my calorie intake.

Hey all! i'm Half way thru Day 2 of step 2 CWP today and woke up with a really bad headache. Can't be dehydration coz I had my water allowance properly yesterday... Still managed to go to the gym thinking it'll help a bit which it did but then headache and nausea returned. Did anyone else feel like this in the beginning too? Is this normal and how long does it last?!

Did you do step 1 Ams?
Is it possible you could be entering ketosis?
Or that you've switched from step 1 to 2 and knocked yourself OUT of ketosis (meaning you are no longer burning stored fat) and your body is trying to use you (still very minimal) reserves of glycogen?
Oooor maybe you're just coming down with something.

I've not started CD yet. I've read a lot about it and understand the biological processes, but hopefully someone with actual experience will be along to help you soon. Here's hoping you feel better soon!

Hey all,

Enjoy reading your chat. I've complete week one on CD. Weigh in was last night and I lost 8lbs so very happy Another 80lbs to go. How much water does everyone manage to drink a day? I really struggle somedays. It just gets so boring!
