Cambridge Diet

not_fat_anymore

Hi I'd just like to say that after getting to 18 stone I found the Cambridge Diet..

3 Months down the road I have now lost 5 St 13 lb ( OK 1 stone i lost just before I went on the diet as I had a problem getting authorsation from my doctor but still added it ) and now an healthy 11St 10lb

Thank you cambridge diet !!! I wish i'd heard of you before , I would definetly recommend to any one out there and if you are on the diet keep it up , I know how hard the diet realy is keep to it and the weight will fall off you.

Yes on the other hand it can be expensive expecially if you are on the sole sorce programme like i was but you are losing weight and you do get the benifits that come with it....:T

Well done!

I find SS to be really inexpensive - and I spend much less than I did when I was on a full food diet.

Hi ALL,

I have been on Cambridge a few months ago and lost 3 stone, Still need to loose a few more.

I was wondering if you can buy the products online, at the same price your councellor gives you it for. Only reason I'm asking is that I work away all the time and when I do get back home its always late at night, so I could do with a stock pile of them.

anyone know where I could get them from ?

Sorry but the only place you can buy Cambridge product is from a Counsellor.

What about making an appointment and going once every four weeks? The CDC has to weigh you a minimum of every four weeks.

Hope all goes well for you

You can get it on ebay but I wouldn't recommend it as I've seen a weeks meals go for up to twice the price you would get them off a counsellor - plus there has been a bit of controversy over sole source type diets (eg, lighter life) recently and it really isn't a good idea to do something as restricting as this without help and guidence of someone with experience.

My counsellor has said that the guidlines for CD are changing due to this recent press coverage and you wouldn't find out what these are by buying from anyone else.

Ebay banned all Cambridge products a few months ago so it is not possible to buy them there.
That is for sound medical reasons - so that people whom are diabetic, or whom have heart problems or are anorexic, as well as those with other serious medical conditions, do not get acccess to the product

Ahh, that's good then as I knew there were lots on there a while back and I did think it was strange that it was allowed seeing as though it is often necessary to get a doctors note prior to starting.

When I was up at Cambridge the diet consisted mainly of wine, port, roast beef and bread and butter pudding. I can recommend this Cambridge Diet to everyone.

Ahhh yes. Them were the days eh. Unfortunately people kept mixing the wine and port and having it for each meal. By the end of the day were flat on the floor and unable to go to their counsellors for the weekly weigh in:(

Needless to say, Cambridge had to change the Château Rothschild to butterscotch milkshake, and the Vinho do Porto for Toffee and walnut.

Neither the wine nor the port was ever spoken of in the department again..well, except Friday lunchtimes in the head office (or so I'm told).

I am informed that the company did give out free vouchers for alcoholics anonymous with every box of the new flavours:j

Good Evening and it is a VERY good evening. Well after moving onto 810 last week (and not looking forward to my weigh in as i didn't think I'd lose anything by going up a stage) I went for my WI and I've lost 4lb and another 3 inches!!! Absolutely over the moon!

I really enjoyed the 810 plan - it's amazing how full you feel even with a small meal and tea with milk - WOW, forgot how much I missed it!

But - another concern now - my CDC has now told me to move up to 1000 (stage 3a) for the next 2 weeks. Is this normal? I still have 11lb to go and surely this will slow my weight loss down to maybe 1lb a week. I would have preferred to stay on 810 for another couple of weeks so I only had a few pounds to lose before moving onto 1000.

Anyway, that aside - I'm thrilled with the loss and here's to another week on this fab diet.

Have a good weekend everyone!:T
