[Closed] Cambridge Weight lose plan

Feel better about yourself immediately by giving the money to charity instead.

Saw a female friend last night who lost 3.5 stone in 3 months with the plan - now waif like but happy

Thing is, losing weight is the easy bit. Keeping it off is the bastard.

Losser.

There's a forum for it here. http://www.minimins.com/cambridge-diet-forum/

I recommend the Cougar diet. Eat fewer Mars bars and pies, exercise more.

Eat less. Move more.

That'll be £50 please.

This was part of a ch 4 series about crash dieting. The series suggested that crash diets were fine to lose the initial weight as long as the diet was followed and it was for a limited amount of time. I'd always read that crashing dieting wasn't good for the metabolism as it goes into starvation mode, but they didn't cover this in the series. Each of the fad diets saw the dieters drop about 1 lb a day which i think is too high for sustainable weight loss.

The lowest cal option for the plan means you can't exercise so if you want to train, go for the 1,200 one.

Personally i'd not touch it or any other fad diet, but then i don't need to lose weight. Eat better/less, and exercise more would be a better option imo.

it's called the rhythm method of girth control

The Mrs is doing the weight watchers pro plus thing, started 2nd week of January. I am eating all the (freshly prepared, not frozen) meals too, supplemented by the odd chocolate hob-nob!!.

Weve both lost over 11 lbs in about 3 weeks which I think is a healthy, steady weight loss. Have been exercising a lot more than over the xmas period though so no doubt that will be contributing.

why anyone would need 'products' to lose weight I've no idea. Just eat normal food sensibly.

Started the India Knight diet today to support the missus doing it. Unfortunately it became clear that Mrs Scamper was pregnant over the weekend so i'm on my own. Already got a headache, but will stick at it for two weeks, out of curiosity.

Unfortunately

???

I am trying the unknown viral method. I successfully lost about 1 1/2 st before Christmas in a couple of weeks with a flu type bug, but sadly put a little back on over the festive period. I am now trying what I think is a different virus as a "detox", which has left me with little or no interest in food since Tuesday last week. I haven't weighed myself yet but I am expecting some pretty good results this time again. It does very little for my efforts to get fit as even walking upstairs is very tiring, and my motivation for life has dipped dramatically, but there was a small triumph as I pulled the belt through yet another extra hole this morning.
Now where did I leave the leather punch...

Erm....commiserations?

Nope, a lot of this 😀

In that case congratulations!

Just re-read Scamper - nice one!

I'm on the Cambridge diet, its so bloody expensive to live there that you can no longer afford to eat

Only park and ride who charge per person not by car and the city centre car parks charge more for a day than our car is worth

No surprise really when we have to pay £160 million for the guided bus which is now two years late and who knows if it will ever open

Also WTF is a student haircut? Cambridge barbers advertise them for a tenner. Most students I see look like they have had their barnet cut by Stevie Wonder with a strimmer

.....actually. What is the India Knight diet?

Damn my natural curiosity!

I'm with TimP. Had the 'Brown Rain' diet just before Xmas and it knocked about 3/4 stone off me in a week. I know this isn't a sustainable rate of loss so I am making up the defecit with Thorntons chocolates.

I know someone who used it and did indeed loose a vast amount of weight - no suprise it is essentially a sustained period of starvation, she claimed it did leave her with energy though - she's also got a phd so she's not daft, she's both college smart and has common sense. But yeah to me she looked emaciated and hungry all the time, pale and drawn not fit an healthy. Also following a job change with heaps of travelling she has more than re-gained what was lost.

Personally, I wouldn't go near it at all, but I'm overweight and dealing with it, I'd rather keep eating and burn as many calories as I can. I love cake 🙂

Anything where most of your meals a day come out of a sachet and are shake based is just not what humans were meant to survive on in my book.

I have never wished more for an online version of a high-five than after reading that sentence 8)

I looked - all I could find was this o/\o - I spy a gap in the market!

I have no idea either. I had assumed that it was along the lines of, 'go out at night and have an Indian' .............a bit like the 'seefood' diet.

[i]Anything where most of your meals a day come out of a sachet and are shake based is just not what humans were meant to survive on in my book[/i]

Indeed, and well put. However, I don't think we evolved to [i]survive[/i] on cake either.... But who ever said evolution is right ?.
😀

Anyway, keep an eye on iDave. He is going to come up with the answer, and all you'll need to do is provide the lard and the [b]self discipline[/b]....
😯

self discipline....

I'm oot!

When is iDave V2.0 getting here anyways?

Something tells me you're not taking this [i]seriously[/i]
😀

I'd guess it would be along the same prinicpals as [i]iDave eats, V1.0[/i]

Well done on the 30 minute meals btw, Jamie.

India Knight - you know, the Sunday Times columist and journalist got together with some other women to diet taking apparently the best bits of the atkins type diets, but making them more healthy. And after loosing 10 stone between them and kept it off, of course wrote a diet and cook book.
