Cambridge Diet
Sole Source
I am week 12 and lost 64 lb
I started Slim Fast before that and have lost an additional 22lb

I lost 6 stones with SW about 5 years ago and i put 9 stones back on.

As oi have suffered my whole life from obesity and tried every diet there is. Rosemary, WW, SW, Atkins, Slimfast.

CD is the only diet i have NEVER EVER in 12 weeks felt hungry doing, it really suits me and i was due for my 2nd appt for gastric banding which i really deep down did not want as i had read so many times of people regaining the weight.
For a healthy attitude towards losing weight and keeping it off forever i have had to overcome so many issues with myself first.
For the first time in my life i have been able to stick to Cambridge 100% and it suits me.

I am soo happy to share my good news so far with you.
Having the right psychological attitue towards yourself and the weight comes off.
Losing weight for me as i am now and KNOWING i will stick to the 6 plans shall open up a new world for me
I was 27 stones 9lb, 5'9" height
I am now 20 stones 13lb today after 12 weeks

I know i am vulnerable on here to all the negative comments and ignorance about the CD but hey ho! what do they know!

NOTHING
BYE XX

The first visit was with the consultants assistant after i had been to the GP and he referred me. I got an appt within 6 weeks at the hospital. The 2nd appt was actually with the surgeon and i did not go.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Takes willpower and psychological acceptance that this is for life weight maintenance

Losing is the easy part

be ready....
