    Reviews - am confused now!lol

    Wow - just read some of these reviews - some positive, some negative. I'm confused though. One of them said that you're only allowed to SS for 2 weeks.
    Have a read and tell me what you think!

    just go by what the cambridge diet website says. People get information wrong and so the trusted source of information should be the cambridge diet site.

    I have read those reviews and alot of the information in them is incorrect. If in doubt ask your CDC or contact Cambridge directly.

    TBH most of the negative things and reviews I've read about CD are from people who've tried it and given up, or gone straight back to eating how they were before and piled weight back on - could be a bit of sour grapes maybe

    The fact is I've lost a huge amount of weight that I never would have done on a "conventional" diet, and I feel better than I have for years. If other people want to criticise the diet that's fine, but I'm benefitting from the results and don't care

    Perhaps some of the confusion may arise from the fact that the Cambridge Diet is not confined to Sole Sourcing and that you can choose between Step 1 to Step 5 as a means of losing weight.

    For more information here is the link to the Cambridge Diet Site.

    Diet: Cambridge Plan
    Cambridge is well-researched, well-documented and is totally safe.

    I have been on Cambridge for 6 months exactly to the day and I am fit as a fiddle, borne out by blood tests I have to have every four weeks due to medication I have to take for RA.

    The proof is the people whom are successful on it.

    You will always get people who criticise CD if they didn't manage to stick to it, or cheated and blamed the diet.

    I agree with STBG, I find the reviews are only ever by people who have had bad experiences either on this diet or with anything. I've been on it only 14 weeks but can't fault it. I feel fantastic and have got to what would take me years with a conventional diet although I have a little left to go xx

    It's like anything really, some people will get on with the diet and some people won't. This diet is not for everyone. But for the people who it does suit it has fantastic results. I personally don't like weight watchers, due to the weighing of food etc but that doesn't mean people haven't lost lot's of weight on it x x x
