Cambridge Diet Review
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.
Any dieter who is seriously looking at the Cambridge Diet needs to consider several things before committing to this eating pan. The first consideration is medical supervision. While this weight loss plan is used quite often in the UK, it is only done with proper supervision to make sure dieters remain healthy throughout the entire process.
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.
Several controversies still remain around this weight loss plan. Concerns remain around possible muscle loss, crashing metabolism, and the overall just lack of daily calories.
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.
