Cambridge Diet

Just finished my 4th week on Step 2 of CD and I have lost 16lb. I did Sole source for the first week, but found myself feeling weak. I save my small meal for the evening and it makes me feel human. I have 4 children and seem to be in the kitchen making something for someone. I have found that difficult and have on occasion sneaked the ends on someones peanut butter toast crust that one of the kids have left on the plate. Licking the knife with the peanut butter on it. And that week my weight loss was not great. I’ve learnt to chew gum or put washing up liquid on left overs to stop myself eating it. Good luck everyone. We can do it!!!!!

i have been on this diet for 3wk and i have lost a stone am soo happy

Hi all, 2 weeks on CD, 1st week I lost 8lbs, and I have now had my 2nd weigh in and I have lost another 9lbs, I am wearing clothes I had not worn in ages. I do walk about 16 miles per week and this I am told helps with the weight loss. Initally it is difficult but you have to persevere believe me its worth it. I just keep saying discipline and I love the fact that my clothing is lose. Stay strong (:-)

ADVICE PLEASE

Hi! I can thoroughly recommend the Cambridge Weight Plan! You have to really psych yourself up to begin – set a date a month or so in advance and then “GO FOR IT!I lost 6 stone (84LBS)in 20 weeks last year and I can honestly say I was never once hungry! I was “tempted” – but never gave in. 12 months later I am feeling great and getting loads of compliments. i am determined NEVER to put on weight again. My husband, who really loves his food, lost 28lbs within 25 days – men seem to lose so easily

Hi,

My name is Louise, I’m 25 and currently weigh 17.6 stone. I have tried the usual ways of loosing weight but they never seem to work for me. Since I met my partner and settled down my weight has just got out of control. About a year ago my wonderful partner popped the question, of cause my answer was yes. A few weeks ago my now financé started asking questions about when I wanted to get married. To be honest before this point I had not really thought about it. Just then it hit home would I really want to be a ‘fat bride’??? and so started to research diets on the internet. A friend in work recommended the CD (after she went from a size 28 to a 10!), after a bit of research I emailed a local consultant asking for a bit of advise. My consultant was so lovely and supportive that I decided to give it a go! It’s been 4 days on the step 2 (810 calories – three sachets and a very small meal per day). I’ve been advised to stay on this step until my BMI comes under 40 then I can move onto complete abstinence from food.

I am so excited about starting this diet. I am currently a size 22 and want to be a size 12 for my wedding next September… watch this space! x

i need some information regarding the cambridege diet

Hi, I and my partner have been on the Cambridge Weight Plan for 7 weeks now. I have now reached my target with a loss of 30 pounds and he has lost an amazing 66 pounds. Admittedly, he had far more than me to lose in the first place. We have both found the sachets of food easy to prepare, tasty, and nutritious. Since starting the plan, we have had more energy, no headaches which were quite common and both look good in our clothes again! I would certainly recommend this plan for a fast weight loss, but not for a slow, long term plan. It is now up to us to start maintaining our new weights with healthy eating.

Im on week 1 f this diet am getting weighed tomorrow, the first 4 days
For me was like a nightmare, I’m finding it alot easier now will keep you
Posted on hiw I do, I find reading all your posts gives me encouragement x

Hi,

I have been on the cd for a week and a half now and have only lost 6lb. im gutted, I dont know what im doing wrong, ive stuck to it to the letter. Whenever i read cd forums everyone says they’ve lost a stone or more in 2 weeks. Ive got a reunion do in 3 weeks and am panicking i wont have lost any weight by then after all that night out is what im putting myself thorugh this diet for.

I’ve been doing the Cambridge-500 program for 20 weeks exactly, including the 3 stabilization steps of 2 weeks each, during which I lost a total of 21.9 kg = 48 lbs. After that, my weight has been a staggering 50 kg/110 lbs (height: 1.71,6 cm / 67.6″), which I have maintained ever since. Needless to say is, that I have a very fine bone structure and therefore the CB counsellor was prepared to bend the BMI-rules for me.

I drank lots of water (2.5 liters = 4.40 pints) as was being prescribed. Every other 7 weeks, I ate natural food during one whole week, together with the food CB-replacements, all being clearly outlined in the accompanying folders, which had been given to me by my Cambridge counsellor, whom I visited weekly.

My waist changed from 101 cm/ 40 inches into 58 cm/23 inches. I have been on top of the world ever since, not experiencing any water retention, hurting joints, cellulite, abnormal fat storage around the knees and jodhpurs anymore, being able to wear pretty clothes sizes XXS or XS.

My 18-year old daughter and I regularly swop blazers, jeans and tops and that seems to be the natural thing to do.
