I went to see a Cambridge Diet consultant tonight and have decided to swap from Lipotrim TFR to CD 'sole source'. The reasons for changing were:
- No fuel costs (under 4 miles away, at a place I drive past daily) vs a 50 mile round trip
- Flexible appoinments vs only being able to go on a Saturday due to pharmacy opening hours clashing with my working hours
- More personal service vs having to queue up in the pharmacy and explain in front of other people why you're there
- Much more structured re-feed programme and ongoing support indefinitely
- Huge variety of flavours / choices ie 27 instead of LT's 7!
Disadvantages are the cost - it will cost me £5-6 more per week for the actual plan, but then I'll be saving exactly that in fuel, so won't be better or worse off financially.
I am a bit scared about swapping - I do get on well with LT and have had good results so far, but I am also getting sick of it and I am feeling really positive and excited about trying new flavours. I've managed nearly 7 weeks now on basically 3 flavoured shakes (couple of soups and flapjacks but not keen really) but genuinely think I would struggle and eventually quit LT if I tried to stick out the remaining 9 weeks I have to go, whereas I am looking forward to trying 2 porridges, 7 shakes, 4 soups, and all 6 bars.
However, I can't really bare to leave this bit of the forum so I hope you'll let me stay! I also plan on keeping my LT diary and weigh in here - I started at the same time as so many people here that I don't want to jump ship!
