What you can expect from a CDC

[Mamaye]

Thought anybody doing SS would have to have the form signed by gp? My bmi was 30 when I started, could have gone on SS+ without gp signature x

 

[MandyMoo77]

Just Lighter Life ask for everyone to get docs sig. Cambridge only if over 40 bmi or on medication.

Any CDCs in the High Wycombe Area?

Hi everyone

Currently on LT and it's been good for me but I'm considering switching to CD as the limited choice on LT is becoming a bit of a bore.

I know that there are CDCs for my postcode but thought it might be good to go to one who posted on here or who had MInimins customers.

Anyone?

I'm on week three and have never been measured. Should I ask to be or starting doing it myself at home? X

Hey Angie!
I'm lurking in the background about to come back to CD after a long time off the wagon.
I averaged a stone a month when I stuck to CD rigidly.
Hope this helps you,

Hi girls!

A stone a month is about the average on this type of diet but it does vary a great deal. I'm working up through the CD stabilisation now but I lost 7 stone in 4 months of TFR (mostly on Lipotrim which works on the same principle as CD).

Make sure you drink plenty of water (3.5 - 4 litres).

Good luck

7 stone in 4 months? That is amazing x

Keep busy during the day
Olbas Oil tissues held over nose and mouth worked wonders for me as a distraction from tantalising food smells
Early nights
Long self- indulgent baths

...... and hold on to the promise that if you grit your teeth and get in to Ketosis it will be sooooo much easier.

Stay strong, it gets better hun it really does
