Hi i started the cd on tuesday and on day 3. I must admit im finding it hard and wondering if the "feeling starving" ever ends???

ive got about four stone to lose, does anybody know the average time it takes to lose this?? as i feel its loads to lose and do get a bit down about this.

Anybody else just started the cd diet? because id love to chat to someone going through the same thing

Please let me know
Donna

Ive just started on the cd. im on day 4. finding it very difficult. Has anyone got any words of advice or encouragement for me. I miss chewing.

I put my CD experience on the post with the oxo cube have a look, but I urge you to do this diet as I had 3 stone do its a similar goal and it fell of me but I did do the diet word for word. PM if you need any help.
Good luck Sue

Finding it hard how are you doing please tell me its got easier

I went to pick up my first bag of cd goodies last night an I started this morning! Up 2 now I have had 1 shake. I decided to have one of the ready made cartons as I havn't bought a blender yet and if I had to chew my way through lumps I knew I wold never have one again! I was expecting it to taste vile as people on other chat boards had said so, but It just tasted like real banana milkshake so I was made up!! I have got about 6 stone to loose so It's going to be a long hard road! I'm going out to get a blender this afternoon so then I can start on testing out the flavours!! I have decided to not try any of the soups this week as I don't really like soup any way and I was expecting it all 2 taste horrible so I gave them a mis. I might try a few next week. Any advice on making the shakes last longer and taste delicious??? Are there any flavours I should avoid as I have only tasted banana up to now. My tummy is rumbling as I write!!!!!!!

I ve only been doing cd for 13 days, so far ive lost 9lbs but im having a bad day today finally realised taht food is used aS an emotional thing for me and today i feel crap and want to eat the world!!!!!!!!!!! How are you doing have you continued looking at the date you should have done a month now. I have not tried the blender to mix my shakes been drinking them with lum[ps yuck. Do you know any one who has done the diet and been sucessful thats what i really want to find out.

I have just sucsessfully done 8 days and had lost six pounds by day 6. I have not weighed myself since then so I'm not sure of my whole loss in that time. Yesterday (day 9)I slipped up and ate for England but I have pulled myself around drank loads of water and am going to get back into it today! I have just over a stone and a half to loose!

Good luck you and do not have a slip up! I'm so dissappointed with myself and it most certainly was not worth it!!

Hi Donna,

I did the cd in March and lost 15lbs. Im back on it again now as I had some more fat to loose. When I did it in march I have to admit it took about 3 weeks for me not to feel hungry!!

This time round im always hungry!!with me i lost 7lbs the first week then after that it was about 3 to 4 pounds! however I was still drinking milk in my tea and during week 3 and week 4 I was snacking on carb free food too and was still in ketosis. The inches drop off when your in ketosis. Your on day three so your in ketosis now.

Keep to it!! I know its hard but its worth it!
