Cambridge Diet

exil

Yes I do have problems with my weight, but they wouldn't be helped by wasting £35 a week. I'd still have problems with my weight but would also be broke.

ooobedoo

Have you bought a diet book and worked from it?

I did this diet. The first 3 days are difficult but after that I really wasnt hungry. Word of warning, tho, make sure you get the supplement that helps you poo!!!! Lost weight quickly but put some back on when I started eating normally again...
Good luck if you decide to go ahead.

Exil - the £35 is for 7 days food replacement - so absolutely no other shopping! I agree it is expensive and more than as a single person I would want to spend on my weekly shop but a while ago I tried WW and I can tell you that fees, thens stuff for the shop at the class and then diet food cost more the £35 per week.

I also realise it is hard and rapid and that eating habits need to change but I have had a real hard year, financial, emotionally and really need a kick start so I have decided to try it, I am actually quite excited but for various practical reasons I can't start until after Easter, and I am a little dissappointed that I can't start sooner to be honest.

I am very attracted by the fact that the diet is so controlled, I think I need the routine that the Cambridge diet gives and that it is portioned controlled. I am a little worried about drastically changing my body shape as I don't really want my colleagues etc know that I have resorted to something so extreme, and the expenses of buying size 16 clothes, then 14's and possibly some 12 is quite frightening but all in a good way.

Thanks for all the advice!

Hi all

I bought the diet two weeks worth of Ebay because I could not for love nor money find a counsellor! I lasted two meals. Hated the stuff and was starving.
Would you all not agree that slimfast is the same thing but so much cheaper?

Best of luck to you all

I've done CD - did it for 4 weeks, having a break and then going back on it. Lost 20 pounds. Kept it off so far.

More expensive for blokes as they get more food. (4 packs a day insteads of 3) so more than £35 a week for them.

AIR, CD has more protein and less carb than slimfast.

As for money saving, it's half the price of lighter life.

Taste wise - soups ands pre-mixes and much better than the packs you mix yourself, which can taste powdery. But it's not real food and eating it is over quickly. It's nice not to obsess about what's in the fridge for a bit...

There is a CD forum where you can ask q's, find it from the CD website.

HOWEVER it's really not for everyone. I'd try it for a week and see.

The CD is a blast from the past I had friend who was 14/15 doing it and that was 20 years ago.

I have always had weight issues and can loose weight if I want to. Have done it losing about 2 and half stone in three months by eating only three meals a day no junk and cycling 5 miles a day.

I have since gained a few more pounds lost it and gained again. I know I have a love hate relationship with food.

But I don't see CD as the answer to all your problems. It will help to kick start the diet rather like the two weeks with two meals a day on breakfast cereal, they are not a replacement for good heathly meals with exercise thrown in. At least sliming world allows you loads of fruit and veg as free foods everyday. Not many do allow this.

The main way to not just lose but to keep the weight off is to deal with the emotional issues that you have around food.

I know rather rich from someone who still had issues.

What every you choose to do all the best.


Yours

I am on week 8 ofdoing Cambridge,I've lost 32lb in that time. Am not saying its been easy but certainly very worthwhile as the results are almost instant. I would say to anyone considering it give it a try, drink plenty of water and then a bit more!!!!! Its the results which keep a lot of people going. Any questions just ask away and I'll answer honestly:j
