Started Cambridge 1:1

[SunshineFlowersFood]

Anyone else doing this diet?

I’ve started the 1:1 diet today, it’s been tough!

I started this yesterday on 1b. It's been okay so far but I hear day 3 to 5 is harder.

I think I did it wrong today as I had porridge for breakfast, then noodles for lunch and a shake + bar for dinner. I’m thinking I should have had the shake for breakfast, porridge + bar for lunch and then noodles for dinner. Does it matter? I’ve felt ok today, a bit hungry this afternoon but ok.

Vdub2025 - don't think you have done it wrong. How are you feeling today ? It's my 3rd day and I'm feeling lightheaded but other than that not hungry at all. I have heard that if you feel dizzy or lightheaded to have a boiled egg - good protein source only 77 calories better than having an extra item

I feel ok, quite hungry and am trying to push to 1.30pm for lunch. I’m on day 3 today! How are you feeling today on day 4?
my consultant has said once I get through today it will get easier

Hi
I got to day 4 today and i don't feel hungry at all. I making sure I have all the items and drinking 2.5lt of water - I've also started having hot lemon water. I feel okay a little dizzy but that's going - ive lost 9lb in 4 days I weighed myself this morning albeit this will be water i still consider a win 🏆

Hi, I am starting tomorrow. I know it’s going to be hard but I need to do this.

i have at least 5 stone to lose. How much has everyone else got to lose?

I am starting on step 2, what step is everyone else doing?

Very happy to have company on the way!

Hi 1587s
I'm on 1b day 5 - lost 10lb 5oz in that time. My advice would be drink the water daily you are supposed to 2.25ltr or alittle more if you can. I have been a little dizzy at day 3 and 4 but today I feel great. I hope you enjoy it x

1587s- I also have 5 stone to lose too !

Wow, 10lbs already! You are well on your way. I have heard you can lose a stone in a 2 weeks - that would be fantastic.

Today has gone well, had a bit of chicken this afternoon as I was feeling really weak. But ok now.

Only got about another litre of water to go today!

Yeah 10lbs but I believe right now it's just water you lose for the first couple of weeks.
Well done to you for getting through day 1, you can do this!

Nice to see this chat, I'm not one for posting I have to say but so relevant just now.

I'm really pleased with my progress.

I started Cambridge 1:1 in November and it's working well for me! 81.5kg to 74.4kg with Christmas in between.

I'm feeling like I could go to step 3, but I want to wait until I say bye (hopefully forever!) to the 70kg's.

From previous experience (I had two babies otherwise I wouldn't be needing ti do this 3rd time!) the first week is the worst, so well done to those getting through it👏

Well done on your weight loss so far blackskytonight!

Well it’s day 3 for me, but I am still feeling positive and sticking to the plan. Hopefully I will see results on Monday.

how is everyone else doing? Any official weigh ins yet?

It's my official weigh in tomorrow- i weighed this morning and I've lost 12.5lb in 6 days .....hopefully reach that stone by tomorrow if not no pressure. Good to hear it's going okay for you

How did you get on Lillbe80?

Hi 1587s,

1 stone 1lb - so happy with that but I'm told it will slow right down now week 2 and 3. I'm definitely in ketosis now as I'm not even hungry at this point but ensuring I'm having all the products per day and I'm having 3 litres of water too.
How are you doing ?

Wow, that’s amazing Lillie80, well done!

That’s definitely motivation to keep going? Just think you only have 3 stone something to go now.

i am doing ok, need to drink some more I think, even though I seem to be drinking all day. Weekend is going to be harder I think. But I am going to do this!

1587s-
Hey how's it all going for you?

I had an iffy weekend but I was PMT so I think that's fair enough!
Been 100% this week so far though and it's not been bad at all!

I lost another 2lb.

How about you, how are you getting on?

Well done to you that's great.
Im 12 days in now and lost 1stone 4llb.
It's been okay really so far but I did have some cravings for an Indian curry yesterday but instead ate a cambridge Thai curry sachet 😂
Got my next weigh in this Thursday so we shall see!
Have a successful week ahead 😊

Sorry to barge in and I hope you don’t mind me asking, what actually is the Cambridge diet? Is it just very low calorie for a set period of time? I knew someone who did it about 10 years ago and kind of remember her just eating chicken and eggs - there must be more variety than that based on some posts here!
wish I’d asked her at the time but it felt a bit intrusive when I didn’t know her very well.

It's meal replacements depending on which 'step' you start on, you then add one protein and veg meal a day, gradually phasing out the products and increasing calories/normal food so you can maintain weight loss and a healthier diet by the end, their website explains all the steps and what you can have. You do it with a 1:1 consultant and that's a key part.

Haha re curry! Nice one well done @Lillibe80
We are lucky in one way as we don't have much in the way of takeaways where I live and 95% of the restaurants are closed for winter!

Hi everyone
How are we all doing on the programme?
