need guidance

hi everyone im a mum of 4 and have about 7 stone to lose. im on day 5 of cambridge and have been really ill since starting it, that ill i havent seen my children i have been in been in bed before they get home from school. my youngest is 2 tomorrow and we are having a tea for her. its her first party as last her we had to cancel everything due to her being in hospital. she also has been up for the last 2 nights choking and coughing through the night. im exhausted. so what im try ing to do is justify staying on this diet at this exact time in my life. i dont want to be ill on her birthday and dont want to ruin it for her.

any advice greatly appreciated.

Hiya - is it the detox effect of the diet making you ill do you know or something else wrong? I don't have a huge amount of experience to advise you but my instinct would be maybe go up a step or two on the plan to reintroduce some food and then step down again from there. Even on something like the 1000 plan you should still lose weight I think and it might help.

Good luck and hope you are feeling better soon xx
