Switching from LT to CD?

Hi guyz,

I have been thinking about switching from LT to CD this ages as the nearest pharmacy is about 2 hours away and I am also a bit fed up of the same shakes all the time.

I hope yas all dont mind answering a few questions.

What are the shakes like?
Has anyone swtiched before and found that cd was better for them?
I have noticed that yas work in teams which I think is great way to offer support to each other, how do ya get yourself on one of those teams?
Has anyone gained weight after changing from one diet to the other?

Sorry for all the questions!! Take care
 
I switched from LT to CD and wish I did it sooner. The choices are so much greater and I loved the shakes, and adored the bars and porridge! They are made by the same people, and as such should have no different result regarding the weight loss x x
 
Well done on reaching your target ya are looking great!! I didnt know there was porridge as well sounds yum!! Well I have booked an appointment with the cdc on monday and we will see how it goes! Thanks for answering chick
 
from what others from ll have said cd gives you a lot more choice, ie, the bars porridge etc go for it good luck with your cdc x
 
Thanks MissU. There are two types of porridge, one is plain and the other is apple and cinnamon, both are lovely (well I think so) and there are so many more choices of soups and shakes as well as bars, water flavourings and mix-a-mousse to make the shakes into....... well......... mousse lol x

Hope your meeting goes well x x
 
Well that sounds even better than!! I thought it was along the lines of being the same price but hey ya have made my day now!
 
I'm another one who will be converting. Need something easier for when I'm in work and can't stomach the flapjacks anymore!
Do the shakes actually taste nice? Or are they gross like Lipotrim?

Thank god I am not the only one!! That strawberry and flapjacks on lt are just gross, they make sick everytime!!
 
What are the shakes like?
I have heard that they are made by the same company but I have found that they taste so much better than the LT shakes.
The different flavours are fantastic like toffee and walnut, banana, chocolate orange etc. There is also a apple and cinnamon porridge - now that is good!!
Has anyone swtiched before and found that cd was better for them?
Yep, after getting bored with LT i took a break after I came back from holiday and put on a little weight I have now lost 1 stone 4 on CD (although already lost 2lbs this week too) and loving it. There is more choice which keeps you more motivated and excited about the diet and I find having a councellor helps as she has actually done the diet and understands the ups and downs.
I have noticed that yas work in teams which I think is great way to offer support to each other, how do ya get yourself on one of those teams?
I have not joined a team. I like to post when I can - everyone seems to be very supportive and wonderful people!
Has anyone gained weight after changing from one diet to the other?
Nope, your losses should be the same as you are on very low calories still :)
 
best of luck with cdc on monday. i did lt years ago and the cd shakes and that are sooo much nicer so much variety and everything plus there is the tetra's there yummy and so handy if your out and about :) x
 
Hi,

I am researching cambridge diet and hope someone can help me? When you get BMI 25 you have to go off TFR on cambridge? So does this mean you take the same products only introduce food or do you take different products?

If you move to different products are they nice? I did not like the lipotrim maintenance products?

Any information on this would be appreciated.

I have switched- thanks for all the advice!
I start with porridge in the morning and I am soooo excited! Will be leaping out of bed in the morning! Hahahha!

Hiya hun,

Not sure to help ya out on that one but I am sure someone will come along soon! Nice to see that ya are "in love". I think cd is the way to go now so I cant wait to just sign up!!
 
CD is different to Lipotrim as you have a choice of what plan you want to follow. If you decide to do TFR (Sole source) - step 1, once you are at goal you have to move through the steps to the maint plan. You stick with the products you used during SS but have less of them so for example you would gradually increase your calorie intake... from sole source you would move to Sole source + this is having your 3 packs a day but also 200kcal meal (the meal is like refeed on LT). There are 6 steps to follow which increases your calories gradually - see below:
Step 2 = 810 calories (with 3 CD packs)
Step 3 = 1000 calories (with 2 CD packs)
Step 4 = 1200 (2 packs)
Step 5 = 1500 (1 pack)
Step 6 = 1500+ (Maint)
Sounds a little complicated but you will get a little booklet that will explain all - hope this helps
