Day 2 of cd....and feeling it! any advice?

Hi everyone,

I am on day 2 of the Cambridge Diet and I am struggling a little...my tummy is growling and just had a nap in which I was dreaming about stuffing my face! Please tell me it gets better....my brother is cooking at the mo and the smell is excruciating! I am doing this for only 3 months because I have 3st to lose. Help! Any advice is appreciated!!

Relpy to "day 2 of cd....and feeling it! any advice?"

Hi,

I am on day 4 of the cd and like you I really struggled for the first 3 days. I felt really tired and lack of concentration and a really bad headache but I am pleased to say that by the end of day 3 I felt alot better and do not feel hungry at all. I have lost 12ibs since last Thursday when I started the diet. Im well pleased. So stick at it the worst part is nearly over for you now.

Day 2

im on day 2 too!! listen i have two stones to lose and am now 13 stone 6. i lost two pounds already. do it with me? i got ten weeks till i go to spain and i know my friends are all slim. i will never be thin and dont want to be but at 47 if i eont do it now it will be too late and i will end up being very unhappy. its not my genes, im not big built i basically eat rubbish and got like it myself. i am honest about it. can we keep in touch? carol

Haven't tried the cd diet yet but thinking about it does it work??

Hello Every-one,

I am thinking of doing this CD diet and by the looks of things it does work.

I was hoping for a bit of advice on how i will cope i'm not a big eater anyway but i do pig out at night time then go bed on it which isn't the best thing to do i want to lose around 5 to 6 stone.
i do hope all is having fun with it to.
I know if i start on this i will have loads of support from you guys.

Thanks and good luck xx

Day 24 - cambridge and feeling great

Stick to it - it is worth it!

I have lost 16lbs so far. Could not do sole source so am having a low carb meal daily - fish, chicken and veg. Struggling to drink last shake. Only did sole source for a week. Am going to do sole source for wk 4 to accelerate weight loss again. Started at 12st 3lb (5ft 3in) now 11st 1lb after 3 weeks!
Drink loads of water - it helps especially when you are hungry. Freeze the banana and chocolate cartons - nicer as a moose.
Good luck everyone

HI everyone,

Day 4 of CD and I am not feeling to bad. Unfotunately I am at my parents this weekend and my mum's food is my favorite food! You all know what I mean! Yesterday morning, she had cooked some lovely lamb stew early for lunch....and I couldn't reisit having a little piece of meat....am I terrible?

Today, I'm not hungry! Wierd!!

Thanks

Thank you for your lovely messages....this discussion group is going to be a big help I can tell (no one else understands!). One more thing..my counsellor didn't give me anything but the food stuff. No book/chart etc. Actually she was pretty much in and out in 10 minutes! Is this normal?

Hi

Have a word with your counsellor...You should have been given a couple of books one on the sole source programme and one on the weight maintenance side of it. They have a few tips and hints to make things easier...Ask her for recipies too...Mine has given me one to make a jelly from the water flavours and mouse mix which is allowed if you are craving chewing!!!
She also mentioned muffins made from the mixes but said she will tell me more next week....I will email you the recipe...something different might be good for you by then!
I spent a good half hour with mine but I should think the amount of time spent with her will decrease as I get into the diet.

It is hard for people to understand and help when you are on a diet this extreme but at the end of the day you have to do what is best for you.


Much Love Lucie

Mine too!!

Hi Amina

I have to admit mine was rather poo as well. In fact i really got to know nothing at all and it was all rather bizarre. I decided to do loads of research and cram up on what i could find out for myself and in fact i just call her up and my partner picks it up for me so i very rarely will get to see her and this seems to suit her as well as me. Shame as most on here seem to have losts of support from theirs. Not to worry tho we will just have to support each other.

Hi

Hi Amina

Im on day 5 of the CD and i'm sure all the ladies on here know exactly how you are feeling. I feel great most of the time and in fact havent felt this good in a long time. Even my moods seem much more even. My problem s that i am an emotional eater and last night i had a bit of a do with my other half and it left me feeling rather low. I was good and didn't turn to food and im quite proud of myself for that but its seemed to overspill on to today and ive actually had a very struggling afternoon. I mustve had 3 pints of water in the last 3 hours and im fed up of going to the loo. But im gona try super hard and not give in . . . . I hope!!! Im gona have to have my tea time shake early i think but il have a walk and an early night to stop me picking. Good grief the things we do to look good and feel good eh

keep strong and il try do the same

Hi

Hi Amina

Maybe splitting the shakes/soups into two meals will help (this is allowed)Therefore having 6 or 8 meals a day depending on how many sachets you are allocated a day.
Drink galons of water!!!
Do you add crushed ice to the shakes because this seems to bulk them up...I also add extra water....
Diversion....Get out an about/take a bath/ call a friend/


Good luck Sweetie.

2nd day on cd

AT THE MOMENT I HAVE A BLARING HEADACHE AND A DRY MOUTH. I HOPE I WILL SOON FEEL DIRREFENT SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. I HAVE 3 STONE TO LOSE SO I WILL FINISH ON OR AROUND 28 MAY . THEN I WILL BE 11 STONE 11LBS.THEN I MIGHT GO ON AND DO SLIMMING WORLD TO GET DOWN TO 11 STONE.AND YOUR SURE THAT YOU CAN SPLIT THE SOUPS I DID THAT TODAY BECAUSE THE SOUPS ARE QUITE THICK.

Yes the books supplied say you can split the meals into two if you are struggling.


Good luck and drink loads of water it will clear your headache
