Cambridge Diet
The Cambridge Diet is based in the United Kingdom. It has it’s origins from the Cambridge University in the late 1970s. The Cambridge Diet was officially launched in 1984, but now has distributors worldwide.
The Diet Plan
The Cambridge Diet is a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) and is made up of pre-packaged foods. The foods have been formulated to provide precise amounts of vitamins, nutrients and calories – and are available as sachets (shakes or soups), bars, or “brix”.
The daily calorie levels start as low as 415-500 calories per day. After a period of time (a maximum of 4 weeks), the calorie levels are upped (first to 790, then to 1,000 calories per day).
It is essential that copious amounts of water are drunk during the diet to avoid dehydration.
A Risky Endeavor
The Cambridge Diet should be used only under the guidance of a medical practitioner In the UK, the diet is only available through accredited counselors and to people with a BMI above 25.
Despite research confirming the benefits of VLCD’s they should only be used under medical supervision. Exercise cannot be maintained (except for very low intensity exercise) during the diet, and additional fiber may be required to prevent constipation.
Be very careful with the Cambridge Diet.
Different Versions?
The Cambridge Diet is only available through distributors. The distributors in the USA provide slightly different formulations to those in the UK.

Hi, I’ve just been for my consultation for the Cambridge Diet, and will be starting in a few days time.
I’ve already started a Blog(of how I’m feeling pre-diet), as I think it will help me (and maybe others along the way) Next thing coming my way will be the tricky first days. But I know I can be determined to do this. Anyone got good stories to give me some inspiration?

You can lose weight and keep it off with watching your eating habits, eat plenty of vegetables and drink plent of liquid and lastly WALK. I do not believe that all these packaged foods are good and do not last. The problem is this generation now eats too much package and fast food. Eat home cook good meals and you will have plenty of energy and lose weight.
I started the diet at 21.5 stones in April and was instructed by my doctor to reduce this to 14 stones as soon as practical. Otherwise, he’s sending me in for lap-band and/or liposuction. As of now, I have progressed to 19.3 stones, with 5.3 stones to go. I realize that this is only the first step and the easiest one. The real challenge is for me to continue the focus once I arrive at 14 stones and eat right!
