I have read a number of posts recently where people are only looking to lose about 1.5 stone, ie starting weight is 10.5 stone and they want to be 9 stone. I am a big fan of CD but surely if they have that little to lose this diet is a bit drastic ?, I thought it was supposed to be for people with 3 or more stone to lose ?. What are the guidelines for a CDC to take on a client ?
