Cambridge Diet Profile

By Tad Stephenson

The Cambridge Diet is a very low calorie diet that is very popular in the United Kingdom. While this eating plan hasn't caught on as heavily in the States, it still remains a viable option for the grossly overweight.

This is a weight loss plan that is only recommended for very obese individuals. This is not a "lose those last twenty pounds" type of diet. If you aren't at the highest level of obese on the BMI scale, then you shouldn't be considering the Cambridge Diet as a viable option.

Basically this eating plan is a tiered system that starts out as an extremely low calorie diet in the beginning that only allows 450-600 calories of special Cambridge Diet supplements (shakes, soups, porridge, etc). As the dieter loses more weight, more and more calories are added until the diet becomes a low calorie diet. After enough time the tiers move up to the normal calorie range of a healthy diet.

There are some very important things that must be considered before anyone should go on this diet. The first is getting help from a professional. In the UK dieters who join the Cambridge Diet program have a doctor or expert coach to check in with them weekly and make sure the dieter's health remains good.

A second major concern for many dieters looking at this eating plan is the strictness of the low calorie plan. This diet only allows a very small amount of calories per day (450-650), and because of this many dieters don't have the discipline in order to stick with it.

There is still some controversy that surrounds the Cambridge Diet. Some diet experts simply don't like the sheer low number of calories being allowed. Related to this is the question about muscle loss or losing metabolism.

Defenders of this eating plan will point out that it has been used successfully in thousands of different instances. This is a plan that is designed for the heavily obese, and a long track record of success is hard to argue with.

The Cambridge Diet is going to have its fans, and it is going to have its detractors, as well. While arguments and controversy might continue, there is little argument that this weight loss plan can work for badly overweight individuals. - 17269
