Nikki, Welcome to the CSD club!!

Glad to hear you have made an 'informed' decision when deciding to do the CSd - It really is a great boost to your motivation and weightloss when starting a healthy eating plan - I definitely recommend it!!.... and it is a great detox - a lot of us felt our skin was much clearer and we felt better/lighter afterwards.

By now you should be on day2, I recommend that you call in to the site during the day as reading everyones experiences really helps to get over those low periods when you think you can't do it! I don't know what you ate yesterday in addition to your apple, but I urge you to take full advantage of what food is allowed for the day and NOT starve yourself. Also a 30 minute gentle walk every day helped to keep my metabolism up

By this afternoon you might be wondering if you can do this but I promise getting past day 3/4 takes a little less work and by day 7 the week has flown!! Keeping busy and getting out of the house also helps take your mind of it. When you feel a pang of hunger quickly heat up a cup of blended soup - and drink PLENTY of water.

Hope this is of some help - Good luck with the week - its definitely worth the effort especially when you think by next Monday you will be between 5 - 8 pounds lighter!

Hello, thanks for the advice and encouragment. I think I did really well yesterday and in addition to my apple I had a bunch of grapes and 2 bowls of soup and I felt stuffed by the time I went to bed!

Its now day 2 and I find the vegetable day easier as I prefer vegetables over fruit.. lucky me! But is it OK to eat tomatoes on the vegetable day as I read somewhere that they were classed as a fruit?
