hiya
Good luck on starting CD , its an amzing plan
My tips for the 1st week are -
stay positive , be excited about what you are doing , see it as a positive and tell yourself that you CAN eat but are CHOOSING not to , this give you the control rather than the diet ..
drink lots of water , around 3.5 -4 litres is a good amount to drink , I fill up 2 2litre bottles every night and put them in the fridge and fill up my drinkign bottles from them so i always know how muchI have had and how much I have left .... drinking a pint before o after each shake is good too to kee you focused and fill you up
come on here and ask for help and advise whenever you need to , it really does help talking to someone who knows exactly how you are feeling
just focus on the fact that the first week may be tough , you may have headaches , feel weaka nd light headed , but after that it does get easier and the weight flys off before you even know whats happening
Keep an eye on your 'toilet habits' most people get bunged up without any extra help , so either taek a fibre supplement like CDC's sell , or use a gentle laxative ( I use movicol ) when you need to
Take paracetamol if you get a headache , these are due to carb and sugar withdrawl and dont normally last more than a few days
hope that helps a little and good luck
