Hello everyone!
Day 3 is going OK...I am drinking tons and tons of fizzy water and herbal teas and so far haven't been TOO hungry. I keep on thinking about what it will be like to be back at my target weight...I am really looking forward to it. Luckily for me I don't have a family to feed - it is just me. I think it would be very very hard to do this diet if I had to cook for other people. As it is a group of people from my University course are talking of going out for a Christmas meal on Wednesday, so I will have to think of a reason why I am not eating! I tend not to tell people that I am doing Cambridge Diet, as I have found people have all sorts of misconceptions about it, and about what they perceive to be 'fad' diets - and I simply can't be bothered to argue with them. I know it works for me, so they can all just sod off.
I did think it would be harder than this though - as I am starting with Sole Source, and I started on Step 2 last time, so have never done SS. Actually, I have started on SS+, but you know what I mean. Its not too bad really. I have no idea how long it will take to get into ketosis though - anyone got any ideas?
Dannyjela - I found that if I had just a one day break and ate moderately, then I would put on some weight but not everything that I had lost so far. But you have to be really clear with yourself that it is just a one day break, and that you get right back on it the following day! It is really easy to end up drifting back, if you are not really strict with yourself. But, you know, it is Christmas - and you have to have a life as well as a diet plan. I don't know how much you have lost so far, but even if you put it all back on (doubtful), you KNOW that you can get it off again, and if you hadn't been on the diet you would have put that weight on on top of what you used to be (does that make sense). So I say, if it would make you miserable - or the day awkward with family - for you to stick to CWP, then just for that one day its OK to have a bit of food - but be sensible...probably not good to eat a MASSIVE xmas dinner and have tons of mince pies, chocolate, cake and alcohol (which is what I would do given the chance!!) I have it easy this Xmas as I am on my own. So even though it is not festive at all - I will be sticking to the diet and not indulging. But had I been with family I would have relaxed a little on Xmas day.
Sorry, I don't half waffle when given the chance!
Time for some Oriental Chilli soup I think...

) and she scared me pretty much about gaining my weight back. What are your experiences with break for maybe one week? How does the body react? I am afraid that all my effort and money will be for nothing but on the other hand its difficult to explain my parents that I am on diet at Christmas and I don't want to ruin holidays with my bad hungry mood
