Hello everyone,
I am starting this diet for the first time today, have done a lot of reading and hope to stay on for 7 days, please help me along. I am one of those people who have a ginormous fear of success, aka whenever I do well in something I tend to slack (when it come to food if i weigh few ounds less, I let myself go and binge ) and this time I really want to start a process of weight loss and stick with it

I was going to start yesterday but... I ad focaccia in the house and didn't want it to go to waste, Lord help me I need help!

So anyway, starting today, I have just started making this soup and my pot is almost filled to the brim added all the ingredients plus the V8 juice and will continue to be on this for 7 days iA

Have done some research, and am equipped with my ibuprofin and multivitamin just in case i need it. Also don't plan on staying on this diet for more than 7 days as it is not recommended... we'll see how I do. Any fruits/veggies in particular anyone likes that helps them stay on this diet? Any suggestions you modified in your day that stuck with the rules but made this more bare-able? I hope to get support and continue on this journey with each of you, wishing you all success!

Day 1 here we gooooo!

I am also a lover of food and tend to give up on diets if I don't lose enough weight. But here is my modification to the CSD and I hope it helps you. So far it has helped me.
I started last Monday the 14th. I did the CSD for the first 4 days. and then took off the weekend. I did not however pig out over the weekend but did enjoy some treats. Following the diet 4 days on and 3 days off helped me to completely stick to the CSD w/o cheating even 1 time (knowing that it was only for 4 days totally helped me ).During those 4 days I lost 6.8 pds and then over the wkend I gained back 2 pds (and of course I knew I would gain some back) for a total loss last week of 4.8 pds. I was very happy with that loss. So now I am on week 2 , day 3, agin I have totally stuck to it and hope to have lost more weight this week. Will weigh in on Friday. If I have lost more weight than I will continue on this way for as long as I can. If you are a person (like me) who has a very hard time sticking to a restricted diet for any length of time than maybe this is the way for you to do it as well. I have recently noticed that there are a few people who are doing CSD in a similar way to me. Good luck and please keep us updated on your progress.
