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.

The Cambridge Diet is a weight loss plan that is designed with the dangerously overweight in mind. This is a very low calorie diet that is designed primarily to help the grossly overweight lose a lot of extra weight fast.

This eating and weight loss plan is a tiered dietary system that begins as a very low calorie diet at the very beginning and slowly builds up the calorie levels until it reaches more of a maintenance level. The first level involves all Cambridge Diet supplements like porridge, shakes, soups, etc. With each tier the dieter gets to eat more calories and add more food as the weight loss continues.

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.

However there are plenty of defenders of this weight loss plan. The biggest positive is obvious: it's a diet that has worked for thousands of morbidly obese individuals. That can't be argued 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.
