Is there an artificial sweetener in the Cambridge products?
The Cambridge shakes, soups, and Oats use a non-corn source of fructose for it’s main sweetener as well as it’s source of carbohydrate. This form of fructose does not spike the blood sugar and provides a source of energy in the form of calories. The shakes also contain a small amount of a sweetener called Acesulfame Potassium that is considered safe and is widely used. There is a slight chance for those who have epilepsy to experience problems with this ingredient, but it is very rare. The bars contain high fructose corn syrup which is a common ingredient found in most processed foods. You will find it in sodas, salad dressings, sauces, desserts, as well as many other foods you would not expect to find it in. The bars also use Maltitol for a sweetener which is common in a lot of the nutrition bars on the market today. Maltitol can cause intestinal disturbances for a small minority if eaten in quantity so you want to limit your intake to no more then one bar per day. It would be impossible for Cambridge to manufacture an affordable product that contained all the needed nutrients that was also low in calories and good tasting using only natural ingredients. The amounts of artificial sweeteners are very low, but if you have a sensitivity or are just trying to follow an all natural lifestyle then you may want to reconsider using the diet. Since I am very concerned about such things and I try to eat as organically as I can, I had to come to the conclusion that the payoff to using Cambridge far outweighed any effects of a short time using artificial sweeteners. The health benefits I received from the weight loss and the balanced nutrition started me on my path to living a healthier life.

What is the average weight loss per week while on the Cambridge Diet?
You can expect to lose an average of 4 to 7 pounds per week if using Cambridge as your sole source of nutrition. Speed of weight loss will vary from one person to another. If you are adding regular food to your Cambridge then you can expect 2 to 4 pounds per week. If you choose to add food to your Cambridge you will want to be sure you limit the additional calories to no more then 400 for the day. Choose unprocessed foods only and keep it to about 3 to 4 oz lean protein and either 2 cups of uncooked leafy greens or 1 cup cooked green vegetables.

Is Cambridge truely a viable alternative to Gastic Bypass and all it’s forms?
Yes, it certainly is! Cambridge allows you to lose the weight at the same rate as if you had bypass surgery, only you lose this weight by giving your body everything it needs for good health and nutrition on less then 500 calories a day. Bypass patients struggle on a daily basis to get in even a fraction of the nutrients needed and can suffer serious issues of malnutrition and malabsorbtion. Because of this not only do Bypass patients lose fat, but also bone, organ, and muscle tissue as well. They also run a risk of other complications such as bowel obstructions, liver damage, leakages and ulcerations all of which require more surgeries to correct and can even result in death. Over 8 years of clinical research proved that the lean tissue loss while on The Cambridge Diet was so minute that it was immeasurable and that the weight lost is fat with some initial excess fluid in the first few days of the diet. Those that lose their weight on Cambridge enjoy increased health, vitality, and energy, as well as improved sleep and mental wellbeing. All these results are due to the complete balanced nutrition in the diet. You can expect to lose 4 to 7+ pounds per week.

Who is Doctor Howard?
In 1970, Alan Howard, Ph.D. and a distinguished team of research nutritionists and medical doctors at Cambridge University in England, wrestled with the problem of obesity. Dr. Howard had an idea that it would be possible to discover the exact combination of nutritional building blocks that were needed by the body and that it would be possible to develop a formula which supplied all of these nutrients in a minimal number of calories. What they developed after nearly a decade of research was an amazing nutritional breakthrough; a meal replacement that supplied all the known nutrients the body needed in a very-low-calorie formula. Dr. Dennis Jones, a nutritionist and specialist in food chemistry, began collaboration with the team in 1973. He converted the research concept into a commercially viable formulation. He designed and implemented a development plan including formal clinical studies to full drug-testing standards. His goal was to turn Dr. Howard’s original breakthrough research into an actual product that would be accessible to the public and not just remain in medical research. The result of this work was a concentrated yet balanced nutritional formula so unique it was patented worldwide. The commercial rights to the formula were acquired by Cambridge Plan International in the United States, and here the flavor of the formula was dramatically improved for palatability and in 1979, it emerged as The Cambridge Diet.

Many children are using Cambridge products as a supplement to regular eating patterns with notable results. There is a trend in decreased consumption of “empty calorie” snacks and a movement toward better eating habits. Because they are still growing and developing. children should not be on a VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet) program. However. the Cambridge Regular Program can be very helpful with over weight children. When placing children on a weight loss plan. we recommend that you consult with a physician to determine the appropriate caloric intake.

Can a women who is breast feeding use Cambridge products?
There is no reason that a breast feeding mother should not use Cambridge products. The products contain all the vitamins and minerals necessary to promote good health in both the mother and the child.
We do not recommend that the products be used as the sole source of nutrition while breast feeding. Calorie intake while breast feeding should not be less than 1,000 calories per day. Cambridge is 420 calories a day. Roughly 600 calories or more short of what you and your baby needs while breast feeding.
