Its hard to suggest how someone else might fare with the plan. Personally i felt like you, lifetime of dieting, was at the point where you restart every week but never making it past day 2/3 and then eat rubbish for the rest of the week. The more p'd off i got with myself and the more i wanted to diet it seemed the less able i was to stick to it. Came across cambridge on here and saw counsellor after 2 wks of deliberation. I've not even had my 2nd week weigh in yet and my scales are showing a 17lb drop! More to the point, i feel great! I just find it so easy to follow so far, by taking food out of the equation (if you do sole source) it stops me making any naughty choices, and i do not feel inclined to cheat. The lack of hunger is such a bonus. You the have time and a staged process to get back into food again in a healthy way, instead of tackling it all in one go.You could always go and see a cdc and discuss the options, so you're clear if its right for you - you don't have to commit unless you want to. Good luck whatever plan you choose xx
