Hi there all
I am planning on starting the Cambridge diet this week and am very excited about it all though also very apprehensive. I ordered a weeks supply from EBAY and have made an appointment with my counsellor for next week.
I have had a weight problem for as long as I can remember and have tried all sorts of diets including Atkins, Weight Watchers, Slimming world, Slimfast .........
I am worried that I will find this diet very hard to follow as I do lead an very hectic life - work full time in busy law firm approx 1.5 hrs from home so have 3 hr commute each day and am also doing a Part Time Post Graduate course in Bristol. I am coming to the end of the course now but have final exams in June and July.
I want to start the plan now as I have a good 4 stone to lose and would like to get this shifted by my vacation in Sept.
1.I am wondering how people manage when they move on the maintenance stage - do you find that the weight piles back on quickly and what happens if you stray off the diet??
2. I am also taking Microgynon (contraceptive pill) - will this affect my ability to do this diet??
3. if anyone of you have followed ATKINS before you will know that you go into ketosis on that plan - are the side effects the same? Or milder? I was really ill on Atkins.
