Cambridge Diet Review

One of the more successful, but controversial, diets for the morbidly obese is the Cambridge Diet. This popular UK diet is designed only for heavily overweight individuals, and it’s one of the most well known very low calorie diets.

This is a diet that isn’t for losing those last few pounds, but one that is designed only for the dangerously overweight. Dieters who are seriously looking at the Cambridge Diet should be on the high level of the BMI scale.

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.

Before anyone considers going on this diet, there are some important things that dieters need to know. One of the most important aspects of this weight loss plan is professional help and medical supervision. Dieters in the UK on this program have a doctor and expert diet coach to assist. They both check in weekly in order to assure dieters of their health while on this very low calorie diet.

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.

That being said, there are still plenty of defenders of the Cambridge Diet. The most defended point of this weight loss plan is obvious, which is that there are thousands of recorded examples of this diet helping morbidly obese individuals losing a lot of pounds.

Arguments about the Cambridge Diet might continue on, but this is a diet that will do well because of the sheer level of success stories. While definitely not for everyone, for the grossly overweight this could be a great solution.
