Hi there Scottishfatboy. I'm not a guy but I do know from reading these forums that men do really well on the VLCD type diets and have better and faster results than the women do - so not fair!
I have also tried Cambridge and the two diets work on the same principle, although I do prefer the flavours of the Exante soups and shakes as they are less chemically.
Give it a go - you have nothing to lose but the weight!
My partner started doing exante while I was on the program and he's lost weight faster than I did!
The exante products aren't sickly sweet either so he got on very well with them. He absolutely loves the exante nutrition bars, so I would recommend those.
Yay - good for you for ordering it. Try to cut down on your carbs now to make the transition a bit easier. Looking forward to hearing about your fist loss - I'll bet you beat mine!
I'm a guy! I'm just starting this over the next few days. I did CD and was very successful and my councellor said men always do really well. Good luck with it and keep us informed of your progress.
