Can you place a cost on CD... or specifically on the outcomes of CD? Can you, or should you?
I know - sounds a bit mad, because we all pay in money for our CD shakes/soups/bars/porridge so of course it has 'a cost'... bear with me!
I've a friend who's also doing CD and all along they've said (variations of) 'if I don't lose more than 2lbs a week it isn't worth me doing it anymore because it costs, and I can lose 2lbs a week via normal means' etc. They've lost almost 30lbs in a timescale that they admit is astounding, but are now considering giving CD up before they get to goal because of 'the cost' which they've worked out (for them) is about £20 per lb lost. That's even after a 5lb loss in the last week!!!
I've been a bit baffled, although I'm a 'live and let live' kind of girl and how he feels is entirely valid and neither right nor wrong in my view.
For me, what CD has helped me to achieve is priceless. The results I have are amazing and I don't begrudge this diet a penny that I've spent on it! I'm wondering, does anyone else have any thoughts or perspectives on this?
