Cambridge Diet

The Cambridge Weight Plans are based around buying and eating a range of meal-replacement products with the promise of rapid weight loss. 

The bars, soups, porridges and shakes can be used as your sole source of nutrition or together with low-calorie regular meals. While on the programme, you receive advice and support on healthy eating and exercise from a Cambridge adviser.

The Cambridge Weight Plan: What you can eat

1. What you can eat depends on how much weight you want to lose. The backbone of the diet though is the branded products. They contain carbohydrate, protein fat and fibre as well as more than thirty other nutrients.
2. The shakes, soups and porridge come in a sachet, which you mix with water.
3. The shake flavours include, strawberry and banana.
4. Soup flavours include chicken and mushroom, oriental chilli, spicy tomato, vegetable, mushroom, leek and potato.
5. The porridge comes in original, maple and pecan or apple and cinnamon.
6. There are chewy or crunch bars. The chewy includes caramel, toffee, chocolate and chocolate orange. If you prefer crunchy, these include cranberry, chocolate mint or peanut.
7. If you are on a later step of the programme you can also eat calorie controlled meals. You get the recipes and ideas from your Cambridge consultant.

You need to like the meal-replacement products to stay with the plan. Rapid weight loss can be motivating but it is unsustainable. The Cambridge  that involves eating 1,000 calories a day or fewer should not be followed for more than 12 continuous weeks. If you are eating fewer than 600 calories a day, you should have medical supervision.
