Cambridge Diet

Jennikay

Yay

I've given away all my size 16 stuff, so I can't ever wear it again

I know what you mean about having no recollection about buying something
Sometimes I just discover something in my drawers that I'm sure I've never seen before!

Have been at it again this morning.

The Sunday newspaper didn't arrive until Noon so I had to find something to do.

Am in a clearing out/throwing out mood right now so everything will go!

CnQ - I don't suppose you could do me a huge favour?

I can't find my yellow booklet anywhere and wanted to move up to 1200 tomorrow while I'm away so I can have half a pint on an evening, to be social

Could you list the meals etc? I'd be doing the 150 cal breakfast option, and I know what those breakfasts are.
Just need the order and example lunches/evening meals.
Would I be OK to deviate from plan a bit as long as I have a 300cal lunch and 300cal dinner?

Or maybe I should just do 1000 and have a bit more protein at lunch and a 100 cal snack?

Help!

Has anyone had any success doing the cambridge diet - I know all the negative crash dieting stuff but sometimes desperate measures call for desperate times.


It is £35per week so not cheap - or money saving!

What I am really after is honest experiences really.

Thanks - lisa

I've never tried the Cambridge diet but don't think you should waste your money. I can appreciate you wanting fast results but that's really not the best way to lose your excess weight. Why not try Slimming World. I lost over a stone on their regime and you honestly never need to go hungry and it's a good healthy regime. A very overweight family friend has lost nearly 5 stone. The ideal weight loss is 1/2lb per week and depending how much you need to lose. I've heard of many people who do these instant liquid diets and put the weight straight back on afterwards. You're not learning how to change your eating habits and that's what's important. Good luck.

Your opinion though;)

Well done for your 'over a stone'. I lost 8 stone on Cambridge, wasn't hungry and it had all the vits and minerals I needed...guaranteed:j

That really depends on what sort of diet you do. With Cambridge you can lose more than that per week because of the formula that is used. It's a fat burning diet, unlike many low calorie diets. It protects your lean mass, so losing more isn't a problem. It's approved and follows the N.I.C.E. guidelines.

I do agree that if you do a diet such as WW, SW etc, 1/2lb a week loss sounds sensible enough otherwise you risk losing lean mass

I've heard of many people who do these instant liquid diets and put the weight straight back on afterwards. You're not learning how to change your eating habits and that's what's important. .

Confused by this. How come you don't learn to change your eating habits compared to other diets? Are you assuming that the Cambridge is just liquid until the end of the diet, then you go back to eating?

Are you sure you know what the Cambridge diet entails? It sounds like you imagine it to be just a liquid meal replacement? Cambridge does include foods on most of it's plans and if you do chose the liquid option, then you need to move onto the cambridge GI plans before you finish the 'diet'.

Just a little confused with your reply.

Best of luck with SW though. I did that. Did brilliantly. Lost 6 stone. Unfortunately I put it all back on:( Not SW fault...just mine:o

Not this time. This time, post Cambridge, it's staying off!:D
