Is anybody following the Cambridge VLCD diet, Sole Source diet?

[SoleSource]

I am starting his Wednesday and need a support thread for his specific diet.

Otherwise I shall ramble on to myself here.

Not doing Cambridge but am following slim and save which is very similar so just wanted to say good luck! It's the best thing I've ever done - have lost 7st since June last year, about a stone to go and I'll be at goal. I know people can be a bit sneery about vlcd but it's worked for me!

Great Whatevertheweather

Your goal is so near now

Thank you for you encouraging words.

7st gone is amazing

You must feel fabulous!
for you.

ss+ day 5. Having mushroom soup. I'm a coeliac so limited on what products I can lose. Really hope I can do this. My first weigh in on Tuesday :)

What is SS+? Lilly

Drinker fantastic! Keep usupdated and if you need to come here for chat x

Starting on Wednesday.

SoleSource SS+ is similar to SS but you can have either a meal a day or 200ml of skimmed milk, I opted for the milk for my coffee. Weigh in this afternoon for me x

Because I have a BMI of over 50, the Consultant needs a GP signature on the form.

I was informed that this rule had changed. Rule has changed for BMI up to 49 no signature now needed.

I have tried to get appointment with GP since Friday, no can do.

The Consultant is IMO under the impression that the reason I was passed off that I need to get a Dr signature is because I have medical issues preventing me from doing the diet!

Not true all. I am passed off because I can't get an appointment. She has patronised me of this too much, telling me the raps I need to get a Dr signature and that she was under the impression I wanted her to end the rules.

I will find another Consultant.

So difficult to find a sane one.

Pissed not passed

Rules not raps

Bend not end
Ffs

I feel so angry and frustrated

Aww I'm so sorry to hear that hun. I spoke to 2 other consultants before I started with this one because I didn't like them/their attitude. Mine has just been and I've lost 5lb :)

Lily 5lb off is bloody great, just shows me how great this diet is x

How's about you buy a house brick from Wickes and shove it in your garden for each 5lb you lose?

Sole why don't you do Exante and then you don't need a consultant? Cheaper too? Or do you feel the need for the support from a consultant?

I need support, accountability.

Difficult mission to find her/him.

Found another Consultant and my GP form is in the PST.

2lb off is really a heavy weight!

TWO of these

Well done Drinked x

Thanks. I know we shouldn't weigh in between but I weighed this morning and scales now say I've gained 1lb in 2 days. Not happy today. I'm doing everything right. Not eaten anything apart from my 3 products and drinking my water

I weigh every single morning, on or off diet, helps me keep on track. Crap advice is don't weigh.

I'm having for products when I start.

Not totm. Text my consultant and she said it is probably retained water and not to panic :)

Morning ladies, could I join please ? Starting shake that weight today. Have tried a hundred times b4 but never lasted a day so any help or advice would b much appreciated. I am 5ft 7 and 14.4 lbs & wasn't to lose 66 lbs ( hence my username hope 66). I have never stuck properly to a diet always cheating so fed up feeling a failure & need to get my act together ! I didn't want to be fat at 40 but was , and didn't want to be fat at fifty & was .... So slim at sixty is my new mantra but wld prefer to get there in 3 months rather than 3 years !!! Hope you all hv a good day x

Hi Sole Source and fellow dieters. Started Cambridge on Monday I have 5 stone to lose. Good luck and hugs to you all!!!
