Starting with the Cambridge Diet
1. What is the Cambridge Diet?
• Very-Low-Calorie-Diet (VLCD)
• Each sachet is 137 Kcal containing carbohydrate,
protein, fat and fibre, as well as 30 other essential
nutrients
• The complete food
2. How did it start?
• Led by Dr Alan Howard
• Developed by Department of Medicine, Cambridge
University, after 25 years of research
• Established since 1984 and available
in more than 25 countries
• Helped over 15 million people
3. How does it work?
• Low in carbohydrate
• Fat burning
• Ketosis and the reduction
in hunger
How does it work?
• Our body requires 2000 to 3000
Kcal a day
• Our normal diet ranges from
2500 to 3500 Kcal daily
• Excess carbohydrates, protein
and fats intake result in the
accumulation of glycogen and
fats in our body
The first few days….
• With only 411 Kcal from The
Cambridge Diet, our body draws
energy from glycogen in our liver
and muscles
• This results in water loss as
every molecule of glycogen is
stored with 3 molecules of water
Subsequent days….
• When the glycogen reserves are
utilised, our body draws energy
from the fat reserves
• Low fats mean better health,
especially so when the
Cambridge Diet provides the
RDA of vitamins, minerals and
trace elements
4. Is the Cambridge Diet for everyone?
• Yes, as a nutritional supplement or weight loss diet meal
• No, as a sole source
Not suitable for sole source

For effective rapid weight loss

For weight maintenance
For nutritional supplementation
1. For effective rapid weight loss
Rapid
Weight Loss
Cambridge Diet as
sole source, plus 3
litres of water per day
Average
1 to 5kg lost
per week
For effective rapid weight loss
• Recommended if you have more than 3 kg to lose
• The most effective way to lose weight is to use the
Cambridge Diet as your sole source of nutrition
• Replace all your daily meals with the Cambridge Diet
drinks or soups and no other foods allowed
Each day, you should have:
• Recommended servings per day - 3 servings
• At least an additional 3 litres of allowable fluids
• No other kinds of food (including fruits) or drink
Allowable Fluids:
• Tap water
• Bottled water, sparkling or still
(not the kind which is flavoured with fruit)
• Black coffee or tea; no sugar, no milk
• Alcohol is strictly forbidden on the Cambridge Diet.
Why 3 litres of water daily:
• Compensate for water in
food
• Eliminate waste product
from breakdown of fat
• Dilute concentrated minerals
in Cambridge Diet
Why no other food or drink:
• Eating or drinking foods that contain carbohydrate can
prevent ketosis from developing or break an established
ketosis
• Your body may stop using up fat and your weight loss
may slow down or stop
• You may start to feel very
hungry and find it difficult
to resist eating more
Preparation:
• Important in avoiding discomfort at the start
• Reduce food intake gradually, particularly carbohydrates
• Introduce the Cambridge Diet gradually, starting with 1
sachet on the first day
• For your normal meals, consume more white protein, as
well as vegetables, but less of carbohydrates
2. For gradual weight loss
Gradual
Weight Loss
Replacing 2 meals per
day with
Cambridge Diet
Average
0.5 to 1kg
lost per week
For gradual weight loss
• Recommended if you have less than 3 kg to lose or find
the sole source programme unsuitable
• By replacing 2 of your daily meals with the Cambridge
Diet, you can still reach your target weight gradually
Each day, you should have:
• Recommended servings per day - 2 servings
• At least an additional 3 litres of allowable fluids
• 1 normal meal - low in carbohydrate and
high in fibre and white protein
• Follow the meal replacement programme until you reach
your target weight.
