hi! I'm looking for some advice, I've been see-sawing backwards and forwards about a 100 times an hour today about whether to do CD again.
I did it for around 6 weeks a few years ago, and of course the results were amazing, but I found that it made me quite cranky and depressed, maybe because I associate eating with socializing and felt I was missing out on a lot of things.
Anyway, I'm getting married in September, I'm 15 stone, and would like to lose at least 3 stone. I've never lost that much in a year before, which is making me think: CD!!
Realistically, I only see myself doing the core diet for 4/6 weeks max, then go through the steps slowly adding in food portions. my questions are:-
if I did this, would it be too short a time for my body to adjust, and would I gain weight when I start eating again? Is it possible to go through the steps and NOT gain weight?
are weight losses when re-introducing food as good, better, or worse than say WW or SW? (2lb or 3lb a week) because, comparitively, this seems like a lot more hard slog! lol
has the diet changed at all since I last did it? It was 2008 ish.
Do you think I should do this to kick start my weight loss then swap to WW or SW once I've done the steps? or just do WW or SW until September and hope for the best?
thanks in advance, and sorry for waffling, can't wait to hear some opinions!
