hey,
I would advice to stick to cambridge rules. Don't do sole source till your BMI is lower.
The steps are designed to that the body doesn't go into starvation mode and start hoarding food. As well as making sure we are getting everything we need
It is all about balance, Its really almost impossible sometimes to keep it up. Life gets in the way. When I was in hospital with my mum it was a nightmare. I don't like the pre made packs. But I ended up making a chicken salad and taking it with me.
I have been in hospital my self this last week. Its really hard to keep the weight going the right way and cope with life.
Water is the key as well, it really does aid weight loss. Your gain could literally be a mix of faminemode and water retention. because the packs contain 1/3 of our Daily recommended vitamins, they do stop the body hoarding bad stuff, and keep the metabolic rate going.
To go on to sole source there are risks, tells you in the book. The biggest one I found was light headedness, fainting because its low calorie. I would stick with step two. I know its only a meal on top of step one. But your weight will go down if you can stick with it. And you wanna do it healthy and do it right.
Excuse the mistakes, my laptop is over heating, it wont let me go back and fix mistakes grr lol. Good Luck. I hope you have less stress
I do think it makes it so much harder to stick with it. Just carry a wee bottle of water with you that you can refill. And chin up
you can do this
I have lost 3 stone, and even though I'm Ill I'm maintaining
