Cambridge diet anyone?

  • hi there did anyone use cambridge diet and it worked for you?
  • Never heard of it. What's the deal, what do you eat?
  • Its a VLCD total meal replacement diet. I've know several people lose a fair amount of weight on it but not one person who's maintained the loss. Not good for long-term weightloss if that is your goal.

  • I was on it many, many years ago. When there were only the shakes and pudding (not the soups and such), and it really made me hate chocolate pudding.
  • huh. sounds dangerous. I think its better to start off slowly, because that way, you can learn the way you're supposed to eat (a skill you'll need later for maintenance), but everyone is different.
  • but got the packets.
    so basically its packets of shakes or food.

    3 packets a day

    you mix it with 300 ml water blend and drink it

    so you just take these 3 packets everyday for 2 weeks i think.
  • no offense to the original poster..

    haha this is hilarious.

    everytime i come on here..there's someone asking about a new diet.

    whatever happened to good old eating a balance meal, 4-5x a day under your daily calorie need?

    Trouble is its not new, its been around in the UK for many years. Like I said I've known many people lose on it but not one who kept the weight off.

    Jumps out of lurkdom.

    I have. Lost 8 stone (112lbs) and have kept it off for 3+ years. The most I have put on in that time is 4lbs (after an operation).

    It was a brilliant diet for me and am loving maintaining my loss.

    Ummm, you have seen the rest of the great big forum, haven't you? I think the sensible ways of eating on 3FC far far far far outweigh the VLCDs.
