 I've lost
weight
Reviewer: Caroline 06-14-2004
Has anyone had any
long term success with the Cambridge Diet?
I've managed to lose a lot of
weight with it a couple of times,
but put it all back on again. I never
thought I'd try it again,
but I am getting desperate! I'd like to hear some
success
stories so I can convince myself that with a bit more planning
and willpower it could be a long term solution or at least a
good "kick
start" to a proper eating plan.

What I know about
Cambridge
Reviewer: Steve 06-23-2004
The Cambridge Diet
is a protein-sparing modified fast sold via MLM
(last I heard, they changed
their name to "Food for Life", and it has
all the benefits and drawbacks of
such a regimen. Basically, once
you go off of it, it's very easy to regain
all the weight you lose.

 Cambridge /
Slimfast
Reviewer: Karen 07-20-2004
Except for the fact
that Slim Fast has a higher % of sugar than a Snickers bar
does. It should be
a crime to sell that crap as a weight loss product. But
the concept of meal
replacement would be the same, you'd just be getting more
protein and less
carbs with Cambridge than with Slim Fast.

Cambridge???
Reviewer: Dom 06-30-2004
Hi
there,
After Siluet 40, here comes Cambridge Diet which was
featured
on Channel 5's "Mind Your Body" --- a good infotainment but
one with the most
boring intro.
Question: If the Cambridge Diet is as successful as
shown
on TV, why is the inventor of Cambridge Diet still so FAT???

BAD
EXPERIENCE
Reviewer: Linda 07-15-2004
I did the Cambridge
diet after the birth and weaning of my last child (1984). I lost weight very
quickly but also lost
hair, nails split, skin dried out and shriveled up and
I had no energy at all.
When I started eating solid food again I had trouble
keeping it down. Not a
good experience!

no good
diet
Reviewer: Debbie 07-11-2004
Not a diet anyone here
would be on. AFAIK it's not particularly
healthy either - but I don't know
much except hearsay evidence as it
is not something I'm interested in.

The voice of
experience
Reviewer: Eve 07-06-2004
It is basically
starvation with a gross tasting (and pricey) meal replacement
drink. It is
likely you will lose weight fairly quickly at first and then
slower and
slower. In the meantime you will be bored to tears and constantly
craving
food. If you cheat, even a little, your body will hold onto every
calorie it
gets. It will be difficult to stay on the "diet" especially in
social
situations. In the meantime your muscle mass will decrease, you will
be tired
and become less healthy. If you stay on the diet long enough your
hair, skin and
nails will deteriorate. When you go back to solid food you
will be constantly
ravenous and will quickly regain the weight. Even if you
refrain from
overeating your body will store up fat as insurance against
future famine. If
you are lucky you will return to your old weight; a little
misfortunate and you
return to your old weight with another 10-20 packed on;
born under an ill star
and you regain the weight, 20 more and train your body
to resist further
weight-loss attempts. But the choice is yours.

This sounds like
the Medifast diet...
Reviewer: unknown 06-09-2004
Yeah,
sounds like the Medifast diet which I had a doctor persuade me
to go on about
6 years aog. What a mistake that was! I have already
outlived the doctor who
persuaded me to go on it because otherwise my
fat would kill me, but this
time I'm trying to get healthier my way.
