Start CD after doing LL

[yesdarling]

Hello everyone!

I started Lighter Life mid June to mid August this year and lost 2 stone. (whoo hoo!) I am changing over to the Cambridge Diet mainly because it is cheaper and I didn't find the cognitive behavioral sessions helpful. I was on 4 packs a day and my new CD rep has mentioned that CD isn't as restrictive and that I could do three packs and one actual food meal. I suppose I am a little scared to eat conventional food yet. I still have 4 stone to lose. With LL I would be able to go to conventional food once I got my BMI under 29. It is currently 36.

I am curious if anyone that has done both could tell me about the tastes. I could only have shakes on LL as everything else tasted awful to me. And, I only really liked the Vanilla shakes on LL. That got old really quick. Fingers crossed the CD food packs are nicer.

Also, on LL the average weight loss is 14 lbs ...is the cambridge diet around the same, too? (I realise this varies person to person...week to week).

Many thanks for your responses.

I was given really valuable advice when I was considering "real food". I was told it would be good for my guts, but it would work if I don't "think" of it as food. So, keep it simple, keep it bland, keep it portioned so you don't have to think about it. so it's the same as having a pack. just a different type of pack. it worked for me, and meant I ate but didn't think of it as food so didn't have a risk of slipping...


...just a thought...

Hiya
i did lighter life about a year ago and lost loads really quickly. Swapped over to cwp as my counsellor left plus cwp was a lot cheaper.
I actually prefer the cwp shakes as I find them much more filling and the variety of flavours are really good. The bars are ok too. I stick to the crunchy bars, any shake apart from the choc orange, and am totally loving the oriental chilli soup and porridges.
