Any tips for cambridge dieters??

I broke my CD yesterday

I have returned to it today... Any tips would be great!

Good luck to all my fellow dieters!

Hi

Hi, dont be upset your diet, we all do, just get back on track!

www.avidlite.co.uk they sell low carb food and carb free sweets which i eat on the cd and you will still be in ketosis.

i have 2 shakes a day, plus skimmed milk for my tea and i still eat chicken, eggs, and cheese plus the carb free sweets and chocolates and still loose weight, in four weeks i lost 15lbs on the cd eating all the above.

good luck

Thank you for your words of wisdom.... I'm not sure if I want to put anything in my mouth for fear that I may eat till I burst!!

If I do feel I need to chew though, I'll remember your advice. xx

Well done you! 15lbs!

i don't really understand the relationship between ketosis and high protein foods?? Can you expand on this?

Regards. xx

Hi lillyshoefairy

Hi Hun,

When on the cd, LL, Atkins, there all have one major factor in weight loose. That is that we cut down on our carbs, foods bread, pasta rice, sugar , cereals etc carbohydrates provide the quickest source of energy, so when we eat nomaly our body will use the gluclose which is from the carbs to burn energy! so when we completely cut the carbs down , our body goes into say stavation, so it has to use its own fats for energy thats ketosis, which means your using your fat for energy hense the rapid weight loss and inch loss!! its brilliant isnt it!! i only looked into it when i first started the cd!! high protein foods like meats dont really contain much carbs at all plus there really filling.

It is hard to stick to if your a carb eater like me and love bread, but i tend to have a day off every now and then to fulfil my desire, but i will get right back on the band wagon again.

You will do it, it takes will power but its all worth it seeing that fat melt in front of your eyes!!

speak soon,

Ketosis....

Well I have slipped up again on all the wrong things too My weigh in is tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it. Thanks for explaining the stages of ketosis for me.

I'm so dissappointed that I keep slipping up as when I have stuck to it, I feel energised and healthy not to mention thiner! it really is encouraging to read such positive word. Thanks for your understanding and support. XXX

Hi

Hi lillyshoefairy,

Dont beat yourself up about slipping up again, I slip up loads too. just remember to check your inches too as you may not think you have lost inches but yoy probaly have. The main thing is you keep getting on track, its a bit like when you on track even for one whole da dont you feel thin? so when you slip you feel fat, but that fat soon disappears! loosing weight is hard as we need encouragement and a lot of will power, so whether you loose a pound or ten its good. Ive slipped up too, but I dont get upset anymore I just keep going.

Let me know how your weigh in goes

Speak soon,

4lbs off!

Feel happy that I had a loss... but low because I know had I not slipped up so much it could have been much more. My weigh in has now been moved to Wed from next week so that was all the encouragement that I needed to have a break from the diet yesterday post weigh-in! However, I think it did me good to have a proper lunch and not think about it for a while... I hope that I can get through a full week and see the rewards next week!

So,how much do you wish to lose or are you at target??

Well done!!!!!!!!!

Hey well done,

That is really food, I bet you are well chuffed, hey dont be upset that you slipped up cuz you lost a whopping 4lbs!!

Take each day as it comes!!
