You say that you are 15 st but don't say what height you are. Providing you stand at 5 ' 1" or taller (that - BMI 39.5) at 15 st then you won't need your doctors signature for that reason.

However, if you do have any medical condition or take prescribed meds then you will need doctor signature before you start.

You are not asking your doctors permission to do the diet but are confirming your condition/meds and asking him/her to monitor you whilst on the plan.

However we are not willing to go against your doctors advice so your Counsellor would be able to speak to your doctor (if you want her to) and tell him/her about the plan etc or can put your doctor in touch with the Medical team at Head Office - usually in these cases 99% of doctors sign after speaking to Medical Advisor/team at HO.

Im 5"7 and BMI is under 40. May have to look into it then and see what they say but first im going to try slim fast (not sure if I could cut food out altogether) but the hardest part is no chocolate.

I have started this today and so far its not been too bad

I understand what you are saying about not being able to give up food completely but you can do various different programmes with Cambridge and some of them do include food.

At least by doing Cambridge rather than just Slim Fast you will have the 1 to 1 support of a Counsellor. I have tried SlimFast in the past and just didn't stick to it.
