hi , first day fr me too ..tried doiung it last week failed miserably ..just ended up losing 2 lbs
well today ,,,i had lots of soup+melon +2 eggs (was feeling really hungry) ..im actually trying to do a lil modified version of csd ...having soup n veggies fruits most of the time but once in a while egg/chicken/fish
i walked fr 40 mins on the treadmill

Hi Aple, keep up the good work.  It's best not to have coffee especially if you put sugar in it and cream.  Try to follow the diet exactly how it says, but if you must have coffee thats ok, you just might not lose that 1 or 2 lbs that you would lose if you don't go with the coffee, thats how I think anyway.

jjface, breakfast can be a challenge on veggie day, I have been known to make a stir fry and even to eat half my baked potato.  There is no rule that says you have to wait until dinner to eat that big beautiful thing LOL

P.S....not only is calcium important..but protein is also is as well..and a long term lack of either ...I would say...is not good.  That's why you would have to modify this diet for any long term use of it.  I take calcium pills daily and have been for many years, also a mullti vitamin....so it's not such a concern for me...but I would still modify it with the milk and cottage cheese...maybe even low fat choices of them....as some fat is necessary in the daily diet as well.  There are no protein "pills" that I am aware of...so a source like (cottage cheese?) would be a way...I'm don't mean to be telling anybody what to do...this is just my opinion......

Hi, my first day's  update ..just weighed myself ve lost 2 lbs more (maybe its just water weight)
my plan for  today is to eat lots of fruits n veggies along with soup n maybe a piece of chicken/fish
il try walking fr an hr today
im doing a modified version of csd ..i dont ve the willpower to give up food completely ...so instead of binging n breaking the diet every day i ve come up with my own version of csd (more like sbd )..im planning to continue with the diet n modify it to suit my need
i am 5'7 n weigh 152 at the moment ..my goal is to lose around 3 lbs per week ..aiming to be 127 lbs by new yrs
best of luck ladies !!!!

I started on 9-24 too.  This is the first time I have tried this diet.  I am not feeling hungry really but I have had a headache all day.  I wonder if diet soda is acceptable because unsweetened tea is not doing it for me.  Does anyone know?

thanks Nancy! I love pickles. I gained 20lbs pretty fast due to stress/loss of job. Now I am employed but depressed because of the weight I put on! Hhmm... its not good for you when you dont feel good about yourself-no matter what weight people  think you should be. Going to Miami Nov. 15th looking forward to a bathing suit!

gtbehnke, I know what you mean about not feeling good about yourself but it sounds like you are doing something about it now!...and wow a bathing suit! I have not put oneof those on in many many years and most likely won't until I finish and lose another 20-30. 

Was really depressed this morning I weighed myself and put a pound back on but what should I expect when I have been eating poorly for the past week.  Back on track today though

Aple some on this forum do two weeks in a row but I found that one week on two off I tended to have better results.  but you have to eat sensibly on your off weeks...don't go wild for pizza and beer LOL

I would recommend that you do the days in order, and I am sure your husband will understand.  Give him simple meals he can prepare himself or make up some mock "tv dinners" that he can cook himself?

day 4 and still strong! made smashed cauliflower for dinner last night. It really does taste like mashed potato's! eating pickles as snacks really helps curve mycravings (I really love salt!) havnt had a "drink-drink" in 4 days! BIG step for me (Im a bartender) Good luck all teh new-bee's and everyone else good job so far! Keep it up! May try 1 more week. As I still have cabbage left over and plenty of veggies. Not waying myself till the end!

Hi Husky,
I have made it twice now and both times I have tried something different
Just keep in mind these are not potatoes even though they taste soooo good.  Steam the cauliflower until soft and tender.  then I used my beaters some molly mcbutter and a little of the water from steaming and beat them until smooth.  they came out a bit runny but tasting very good.  The next time I put the cooked cauliflower in my blender with a little molly mcbutter and a tablespoon ricotta cheese when it would not blend I used just a little non fat milk to make it go.  I had already dumped out my water from steaming.  Both ways tasted great

I think you really have to experiment with it
