Just to quash the 'making more money' idea. Charging clients an extra 25% in this economic climate is not a sensible business model so the 4 packs has more to do with taking calories over the magic 600 number than trying to be like Lighter Life
As far as I am concerned that is correct, there is still SS, which is 3 packs a day for female under 5ft 8" and 4 a day for males and females over 5ft 8". As this is below 600Kcal your doctor needs notifying.
SS+ is 615Kcal, therefore as it is over 600Kcal and therefore under Nice guideline has different rules, to cover this Cambridge introduced the 2 options,
option 1 is 3 packs a day plus the 200Kcal meal
option 2 is 4 packs a day plus the skimmed milk allowance.
This was done in my opinion to allow clients to still take food out of the equation but to get the Calories over the 600Kcal a day.
Hope this makes sense, it isn't to do with making more money, it was done to ensure Cambridge continued to meet the guidelines set out for VCLD.
