Cambridge Diet Thought I'd Try It!

Haven't been on the diet for 10 days now... hence no blogs! The problem is once you start eating again, it's hard to go back to the Cambridge. Every day now, I've been saying I'm going to restart... but I can't seem to get back in gear! Any day now though, I'll force myself back...

Yes! Another 10lbs down! Despite a few blips on the way, I managed to equal my first week's loss! As I've mentioned previously, I want to wait a few more weeks, then I can work out my average weekly weight-loss in order to set a target date to look forward to!

Delighted with myself!

Well been busy the last few days so didn't write a blog for those days. My second weigh-in is tomorrow BUT I'm not really expecting a good weight-loss.

First of all I drank beer on Saturday, and unfortunately I have eaten!!!!! Altough I didn't eat a lot, I beleive the ketosis would have been hindered as I ate carby foods.

Despite this, I am still motivated to continue the diet, and to be honest I didn't enjoy eating at all. I guess I'll put it down to experience and don't think I'll be cheating in future!

Wish me luck for tomorrow...

Started back to University today, after seven weeks on my work placement. Have an exam next Tuesday so will be staying in revising all week, where I hope I will not be tempted!!!!

It appears that the hunger is going as each day goes by, so that ofcourse makes it easier. Been on the diet for 10 days so quite pleased I've made it this far!

I already feel that I've lost quite a bit more, as my stomach seems to be shrinking, and things like get up from bed are easier! Despite not eating for 10 days, I feel more energetic, which was the opposite of what I expected.

As I've been drinking a lot of water over the last 10 days, I felt really thirsty today. The problem is when you drink water (and living in London with hardly any public loos) it's a bit of a risk as today I was nearly caught short. Although I don't advocate peeing in public, I just couldn't help it! But if that's a problem on the diet, it's something that's worth the inconvience!

Day 9 and so far so good. Despite drinking beer last night, it doesn't appear to have increase my want of food, although I hope it will not show up when I go for my weigh-in.

Spent most of the afternoon/early evening at a friends house, watched the Carling Cup Final (poor Wigan) and helped put together a kitchen table and chairs. As they were preparing their dinner they felt guilty about mentioning food, but it honestly doesn't bother me. After all, if I can't bear to even hear about food, how can I seriously expect to continue?

To tell you the truth, I have had many thoughts about what I'm going to binge on, and end this crazy diet, but the fact I have'nt for a week and a half has made me more determined to stick it out.

Well, on shaky ground today! Although I didn't eat, I had a pint and a half of beer in the pub tonight. I know it's not much but on the Cambridge, it might set me back a few days.

Will try harder tomorrow... I promise!

Made it through the whole week without eating. Went to see my counsellor today and was pleased to see that the hard work is paying off - a loss of 10lbs!!!

To be honest I wasn't too sure how to take the news, as I've heard of over dieters losing up to 18lbs in the first week. But the more I think about it, YES, it was a brilliant result and am slowly beginning to feel proud of myself.

Ironically despite the weight-loss I have been thinking (albeit momentarily) to stop and eat something. I haven't as of yet and hope to continue the good work.

Despite me doing the diet for one week, the hardest days have been the last two or three, rather than the first. I just need to hang on in there and get used the idea!

Want to wait a few more weeks to work out my weekly average weight loss, then I can work out a date to hit my target weight.

Week 2 begins in a few hours...

So I've made it through the first week and will visit my counsellor tomorrow afternoon for my first weigh-in and to collect next week's food packs.

All day I've been thinking whether to "jack it all in" but have kept true to the diet. Hoping for a good weight loss to spur me on for next week!

Will let you know the outcome tomorrow night!

Nearing the end of Day 5!

It seems that every advert on T.V is advertising food!
Every channel is showing a cookery show!
Every shop I pass is a restaurant!

Still quite hungry to be honest but it seems to be easing! First weigh-in on Friday so just trying to look ahead and visual the scales creaking less! Hoping I lose more than a stone this week, but don't want to focus too much on this figure in case I don't meet it and I'll be a bit disappointed.

Will keep you posted!

Day 4

Well I've made it this far... and despite me still feeling quite hungry, I'm just waiting for the hunger to ease and go away! Although I've only been on the diet for four days I feel as though I've lost weight... espicially in and around the chest!

I've had a few comments so far dismissing this method of weight-loss (i.e Sole Source Cambridge Diet) and appreciate their advice but as I've always been over-weight and tried all methods to lose weight (and maintain the loss) including exercise, I thought I'd at least try!

Anyway the answers are in the results!
