Starting Cambridge Diet Step 3

[ladyredlainey]

Hiya

I have been on the Cambridge diet before but only a short time. But this time I am sticking with it!
I am so huge at the moment, size 30UK bottom and 30UK top.

Last time I was on it, on the Step 3, I lost 10lb on the first week, hoping for the same again! or at least 7lb or 8lb.
My Counsellor comes on Friday with My shakes and bars, and that dreaded weigh up, but at least I know! it will be the last time I see that weight, so I can kiss it bye bye!.

I actually can not wait to start again. I will be able to stick to it longer this time, as I enjoyed the diet before, but couldn't afford it.

Roll on Saturday! so I can begin....

I think I will try and keep this as a little diary, and keep adding to it .

Thanks if anyone reads. And If anyone wants to have a buddy doing Cambridge Step 3 please let me know, as it would be wonderful to have a buddy to take to

Thank you Waffles for directing me here xx

I couldn't wait to start either and I was very excited to be on such a good diet and still eat!!

As you don't have the book here's a little recipe to kick you off - it's my fav!!

Toad in the hole!! YUM! Serves 2 - Step 3, 399kcals

60g plain flour, 1 medium egg, 150ml skimmed milk, ground black pepper, some sprigs of rosemary - mix this all up into a yorkshire batter

Spray a tray with flylight and put 4 x 57g reduced fat sausages (or quorn sausages) and cook in a preheated oven (220degrees) for 15 mins. Pour in the batter and cok for 20-25 mins.

Onion gravy - cook 1 chopped onion and 200ml veg stock until softened. Add 1 tsp low fat gravy granules.

Thanks for the recipe sounds really lovely that.
My counsellor arrived today with my shakes and bars, I just asked for the ready made shakes lol, although might move on to the make up sachets again soon.
I have done my healthy shopping, got my quorn mince and pieces coming, i really like the quorn stuff, but got my chicken and fish coming to, and a few bags of naked salad lol!, I am not a fan of cereal..............just remembered, i forgot to buy eggs lol! will need to amend it.

Hope you are both managing well this week
