Tazzy did you manage to find an answer. I just started the Cambridge due to previously doing Lipotrim but got bored due to lack of choice. I am on Day 3 and craving me tuna salads
 
ive been sticking to quorn its virtually fat free, tastes good i think anyway lol and as its lighter than meat you feel like your eating a larger meal and getting more x
 
How long should i do soul source for, my bmi is 41 and my CDC recommended that i do it for 10-12 weeks. my fear is that i may get tired of it and then cheat. i really dont want to cheat to be honest. im currently on my day 12 and i havent cheated at all. i lost 3.4kg on my first weigh in. please advise.
 
I am currently on week 3 of CD and have lost 1 1/2 stone so far!:)

U can do ss for a maxi of 12 weeks then u need to do step 2 for at least a week ir two and u can go bak on ss after for another 12 weeks i think but check wth ur cdc

is it safe to be on ss for 12 weeks since CD brochure says 4 weeks on ss is maximum?!
 
Hi! I'm new to this forum!
Started Cambridge on Saturday so today is just day 2. I'm feeling very tired and quite sad (crying before looking at the washing!)
How long did it take for the rest of you to get used to the lack of calories??
Shakes are nice. Porridge ok. Soups I don't like!
 
Hi hun,

This week will be the hardest you will have your ups and downs emotions all over the place put once you get through it you will be fine and well on your way to a new you.

I didnt like the soups at the start, but i use water them down, add pepper and basil and i looove them now have them really hot aswell.

Are you on cambridge for a particular reason other then to loose weight??

This site is very supportive so if you feel like eatting just come on here :)
