slimfast v cambridge diet ?

Legacy_user

i realise with the cambridge diet you have the "support" of a counsellor but is it actually and different from the slimfast plan , i have just started the slimfast one and im replacing all 3 meals for a couple of weeks if i cant manage that then i have the option of an evening meal . obviously there is the cost, at the moment slimfast is 2 for £7 at asda while i believe the cambridge diet is the best part of £40 per week.

You shouldn't replace all your meals with slimfast as it isn't designed to be your complete nutrition for the day! The cambridge diet has the exact amount of nutrients etc that your body needs each day so that is why you can 'sole source' on the cambridge diet.

When I was on Cambridge it cost me around £35 a week - which when I think of all the coffee's, cakes, bottles of wine etc that I could add on to my normal weekly spends, seems fairly reasonable.

Slimfast is also a great diet, but you have to have your evening meal.

Ditto bellrooster. It's all about the nutritional content with the Cambridge Diet giving you all your body needs. Also, psychologically some people find it easier to "tune out" all food in their quest for weight loss. With the SlimFast option you still have to think about food and calculate it's beneifits/burdens.
