Cambridge diet. The hunger pangs, headaches, etc I can cope with, but the fact that everything i've tried so far tastes like chemicals is really making me feel sick.

Had half a porridge earlier, a choc shake and 2 sips of some soup. Minging. lol!

 

[British_Claire_84]

Oh dear Hun. I found when I did cd my tastes changed throughout. One min I'd like one thing n hate another n a couple days later itd be the other way round. Try spicing up the soups with black pepper, Tabasco n herbs. That helped me. Sometimes I mixed the shakes together for different flavours. U can also crush Splenda tablets n add them to the shakes. That helped too. Have u tried the premixed tetra pack shakes? I loved them n only used them, the porridge n cranberry bars towards the end of my few months on cd.

Ooo n also nutmeg or cinnamon added to shakes n porridge is nice n flavours them up.

Your menu sounds awful to me Susie, so thats great! hahaha!

Ive emailed my cambridge consultant to have a moan! Tried a flavoured porridge today and it was awful. Trying to see if I can order extra tetras incase I hate absolutely everything else I have and need them as a back up!

I will persivere!!!

 

[British_Claire_84]

Did u read the post I wrote for u Claire?

 

[ClaireCat]

Yeah, I did thanks Claire

Got a tetra in the fridge to try it cold later and see if thats nice. I'm thinking I'll try half the soup powder because it was too thick for me. Means I get to have two servings! Pepper is def on standby. Been staring at my spice rack today to see what other things I can add to it.

I also noticed I have peppermind flavouring in the cupboard I bought for my protein shakes, Im guessing it'd be ok to add that to shakes? Cant be carbs or anything in that, surely?

 

[ClaireCat]

.....sorry susie.... lol! Hijacked again!

 

[British_Claire_84]

See if it says on it Hun. I always made the porridge with loads more water then nuked it for longer n stopping it to stir the lumps. Always added more water to the others too.

 

[ClaireCat]

Might try that theory - more water! ty!

 

[Quak]

I always used way more water on the exante shakes than advised and a bit more in the soups as it was a bit too thick otherwise!

Afternoon Susie, sorry for hijacking lol xx

 

[ladyfelsham]

No problems kids, happy to hear you're helping Claire find some solutions

FYI I did a cheeky WI this morning - 2lbs down - and I don't care if it's water loss hehe . Also did my measurements, and am using up all the Hoodia and fat blocker tablets - am chucking everything at it this time

 

[British_Claire_84]

Well done lovely susie! Good on ya! Great start.
