Not tried it, but good luck! There are quite a few of us doing various plans attempting a summer diet, feel free to have a look at the threads and join in!

Check out the diet and fitness section.

Im a bit skeptical of the cambridge diet to be honest! Its sounds like one of those ones that you loose all the weight while you are on the meals but as soon as you start eating 'normally' again you end up putting all the weight back on again. Like Slim Fast. As soon as you atop drinking the shakes you end up putting weight on again! Just my opinion of course but hopefully that wont be the way for you.

Im doing Slimming World and have found it to be so easy! I love it! More of a 'healthy eating regime' than a diet. Last week I had a chinese takeaway and a few sneaky cupcakes and still managed to loose 2lbs. Altogether Ive lost 20lbs in 8 weeks!

Good luck to you though and welcome to AK

I want to shift the excess weight and then get on a maintenance diet, rather than trying to eat healthy meals and ending up maintaining what weight i have at the moment. My friend did CWP and she looks fantastic now and is keeping the weight off and this has been my inspiration to take this one on! will let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the good luck wishes

Well, i'm on my CWP journey at last!! 1st shake, strawberry, went down very well this morning, as is the green tea and water... only 90 mins til i will probably have another shake, or maybe later if i'm not hungry. so glad to have started at last and can't wait to start losing weight, id lost 2.2lb just by cutting down on carbs the 3 days before starting today!
