HoodiaP57 - Pure 20X Strength Certified Hoodia
This product is simply as good as Hoodia gets. It is 100% certified, pure Hoodia from South Africa. It also boasts 20X the strength. If any Hoodia product is going to suppress appetite, this is the one. We also like that HoodiaP57 contains nothing else except pure Hoodia -- no fillers and no stimulants. This means it is safe to take whenever you want – including close to bed time. There are hundreds of Hoodia products on the market now, but we don’t even bother to list them on this site, because 99% of them are just cheap imitation Hoodia that is not even from South Africa, where the P57 molecule is the most effective. We chose HoodiaP57 to be on DietBlogTalk because it is of the utmost quality. The maker even includes a certificate of origin from the South African government stating the Hoodia originates from there. This product has nearly a perfect ‘Thumbs Up’ score. Check this one out.

Slim10® - 10 Patented, Proven Ingredients - 1 Pill
Slim 10® has hit the marketplace with a huge bang. This is the first and only weight loss pill ever made that has combined 10 different patented, clinically proven effective ingredients. And to top it off, they added 500mg of pure South African Hoodia in a 20X potency to every serving. This pill is pure weight loss science. In fact, with this many award-winning ingredients in one capsule, we don’t see how anyone could not lose weight by taking it. Each of these effective ingredients is standardized so you always get a product you can count on, and they all have not just one, but several clinical studies backing their claims. The Slim 10® customers say it all—check out these enthusiastic postings on the blog. In fact, Slim 10® is on par with the best diet pills around like Nuphedrine® and HoodiaP57®. Nuphedrine is definitely the strongest of the three pills on metabolism boosting, and HoodiaP57 is the best for just pure appetite suppression, but Slim 10® is the most balanced of all of them in terms of a variety of 100% clinically proven and patented ingredients. The truth is, it really just depends on what pill is best for the consumer—some will do better with Nuphedrine, others with HoodiaP57, and of course some with Slim10®. We can definitely say that you can’t go wrong with Slim 10® in terms of losing weight. Read a full Slim 10 Review Here.

MiracleBurn®
Miracleburn® is a pretty amazing phenomenon. It has consistently received one of the highest ‘Thumbs Up’ blog ratings on our site. The really amazing part is that most of their customers come from word of mouth, and it is quickly becoming one of the most popular diet products available. The maker of Miracleburn® doesn’t spend tens of millions on advertising like alli®, Hydroxycut® or Curvelle to hype their product. They simply let their satisfied customers virtually do the marketing for them. We suggest reading through the postings. The formula consists of a quality form of Hoodia, combined with the patented metabolism booster, Advantra-Z®. It also has several other balancing secondary ingredients. Part of what makes their product such an effective crowd-pleaser is the manufacturing technique and perfect balance of ingredients. Read a full MiracleBurn Review Here.

In fact, most customers report that it works in minutes not hours like traditional capsules. The chewable pieces are very much like a piece of taffy and taste good. They kick in faster than a quality Hoodia pill, and definitely do the trick. They are only a few calories per piece, and may be taken safely throughout the day. This is a good product to use by itself or in conjunction with another diet pill/program. Hoodia Bites are well liked by the customers – the blogs score well. Read a full HoodiaBites Review Here.

However, the diet also offers advice in other areas of life, such as hygiene, and advises dieters to thoroughly cleanse the face, hands and neck in the morning and evenings.

Slimaluma™
(U.S. Patent 7,060,308) -- We found that this ingredient is proven to drastically suppress the appetite. When you’re hungry, the hypothalamus tells the brain that food is needed. And when the stomach is full, the hypothalamus tells the brain to stop eating. Slimaluma™ sends a signal to the hypothalamus telling the brain that your stomach is full, which helps people eat much less. The customers speak highly of Slimaluma™ -- but it needs to be used in a supportive diet capsule with other essential ingredients. The consumer response has been especially high on this ingredient and products that include it. Read a full Slimaluma Review Here.

Loretta: Thank you for the informative review of the Cambridge Diet. i guess i would have thought that, as such a respected educational institution, Cambridge would have been able to come up with something a little better than the same old meal replacement shakes and bars. Why would a top-flight university like that just roll out the same tired old gimmicks that everyone else does??? disappointing.

Ofelia: I don't like the products and programs presented by the Cambridge Diet. I need something that makes more sense to me. I know I lack discipline but I definitely need more support than these guys can offer.

Nina: Can you guys stick to 1500 cal/day maximum? I am intereted in the Cambridge Diet but not sure I can do only 1500.

Abby: I don't see how this can work because a big part of the program is the Cambridge Counselors and there aren't any that I can find in the U.S., so how am I supposed to get the support I need? It's not the same talking to somebody on line, need a person that will understand my problems and help me when I need it.

Leona: If you're talking to counselors and getting the proper nutrition as well, it seems like Cambridge DIet could work. I know my biggest problem is with portion control, and well, if I'm drinking a shake and its gone, I can't have more. It might not be all bad.

Max: The Cambridge Diet was my last shot at losing weight without surgery. I don't blame the program I blame myself. I have been out of control eating for years and I just need to reset my body. It's sad but it's true. Hopefully my insurance covers it.

YankeeFAn: My colleague has mentioned to me the Cambridge Diet and I was justing looking into it and could not help thinking how complicated it sounded. so do you just drink shakes and eat bars?

Winfred B.: Would a supplement work with a diet like this, or instead of following the Cambridge diet?

Sandy: These kinds of diets always seem to be in place for a few years, and then they go away and then they come back every now and then, and the Cambridge Diet is just as yo yo in popularity as it's results! How's that? Pretty cool, right? There's just no way you can exist on powdery drinks and gross taking bars and lose some weight and then move back to regular food and not get it right back again. It doesn't work, you have to train yourself to eat in a healthy way, get out exercising, change your life for all time! Not just for a couple weeks of artificial foolery. Enough said.

Pam: Oh wow, so you don't eat real food at all!! That's weird.

r. jung: on the cambridge diet, make no mistake, you can loose wiehgt but its not easy to follow. definitely couldn't have done it without the advice of counselors, the support and accountability. problem was, keeping it off. had regained all that i lost withiin 6 months. no good.

Dakota: Weight loss is fast with the Cambridge Diet, if you can stand to stick with it, but I only made it for a week and then I HAD to have a hamburger with everything on it, and that was the beginning of the end. Think a fat burner/diet suppressant is what I need, not some foul tasting fake food. Didn't work for me.

Mary Lucia: Cambridge Diet makes "sachets" which you are supposed to mix with water or skim milk and this is how you are supposed to lose massive amounts of weight that you have been gaining for years. This is just not going to work unless you have a lot of self discipline which I for one do not. That is how I got to be 50 pounds overweight. Not only do these powders taste terrible but I was never able to contact anyone in the support department and I ended up feeling very negative about myself and the whole experience. I don't know what options I have left to explore.

Pete: Read this review and decided against Cambridge Diet because it did not seem to offer enough long term support. Wanted to come back and say that I have been doing the south beach diet and it was a success, for me, I lost 42 lbs in 6 months and have kept it off for a year so far.

Annie: I lost 14 pounds in 3 weeks with the Cambridge Diet, but I gained it all back, too. Going to try South Beach, know it's not so quick, but maybe this time it will stay off.

denise: Incredible that Cambridge University would advocate a starvation meal replacement diet like this..esp. since eating disorders tend to be so rampant on college campuses.

Susan: Maybe if you are British the Cambridge Diet seems like an improvement to your taste buds but to me, an American who loves hot dogs, pizza and tacos I can never stand to palate this diet. It just doesn't make sense to me.

casey: HI, Annie: South Beach might not be quick, but it works for real, and it LASTS. Whereas Cambridge is pretty much just another fad diet.

Marshall: My wife and I tried to live normally on the Cambridge Diet but it was just impossible. With meal replacement items featured prominently we were not comfortable going out to eat with clients and family and felt alienated from our normal social life. There is too much fun to be had in this life. We are determined to find another way to lose weight without sacrificying quality meal and party times.

tom: I lasted on the Cambridge Diet about as long as i lasted at college. :(

Millie: Tetra Briks are the WORST! Am I right?! I love this blog because I know someone here will know what I mean and I know I will find support and advice on dieting!

Jasmine: The Cambridge diet is so outdated, everyone knows you can't do these kinds of fad diets and have the weight loss stick, but I've got to find something to lose at least 50 pounds, and I don't know where to turn. Getting desperate.

Laurie: I am confused...I read that the Cambridge Diet involves drinking 3 servings of the "cambridge formula" with or without food....so which should i do? Obviously, with food is more appealing, but will it still work? I would think that would make kind of a big difference....

annabel: yeah, but Tetra Briks can be very eco-friendly...if you rinse them out really well they are recyclable in some places.

Beautiful: Love the shape of the tetra bricks, I'm thinking of using them for a border for my front walk. Will be nice with some alyssum.

Alison: This is not any kind of realistic diet at all. I thought Cambridge University was more reputable than this. boo.

Renee: I am doing a combo Slim Fast/South Beach with lots of walking and some light weight training with my sister and it is much more effective than the Cambridge Diet. That one was terrible. Glad I am not the only one :)

Helene: I lost weight fast with Cambridge Diet, and gained it right back again. I got a little too excited about being reintroduced to solid food, i guess. Not a long term solution at ALL.

Marjorie Sutton: The advice was great, the exercise was key, but the meal replacement method didn't work. very hard not to cheat on the Cambridge Diet, vERY hard. Never again.

Lena: The good advice is: restrict sugar, increase fiber, avoid fat, restrict alcohol. This is what Cambridge Diet recommends for their maintainance phase and I think it is just good diet advice. No need to take weird replacement foods. An appetite suppressant can help with cravings and get your "through" parties and holidays. I have only gained back a few pounds from a drastic 60 pound loss. I am never going to be skinny but I feel healthy and attractive.

constance: now i know i would've been better off with a program that could teach me how to prepare healthy meals, but at the time, meal replacement seemed easier. CAmbridge Diet FEELS like a diet, that's the problem. I was very deprived, and it took a whole lotta self control. Plus, you can't be social, I rarely went out for fear of bingeing. I gave it 6 whole months! The results were not worthit, and short lived.

Brenda: THe best thing about the Cambridge Diet was the exercise aspect and the advice...but the thing that confused me was, as reasonable as the advice was, the diet itself was pretty stupid. TOtal meal replacement is a recipe for failure, and a lot of the time i felt too hungry and worn down to exericse. I found myself cheating by the end of the diet, and i never got results.

Allie: So glad I read this review site for insight into the Cambridge Diet. I need to do a good thing for my body at this point not punish it. I need light and health in my life!

Dan: Don't crash diet , it only sets you up for failure. That is why Cambridge Diet can't save your life. My program can. I am feeling great and earning. Get the best supplement and work out JUST DO IT!

blackSheep: Yeah I lost weight...on the Jillian Michaels program that i did after giving up on Cambridge diet 3 weeks in, due to the feeling of starvation..

Mikki: I lost six stone in 14 weeks ...it's not difficult to stick to anything for that short a time ! I weighed myself everyday and found it very encouraging to see another pound gone every couple of days. The shakes are not the tastiest thing I ever eaten ..but hey ..they're not the worst either. Totally changed how I eat and reduced my ridiculously massive appetite. Would recommend to anyone...and would say if you can get through the first four days it is a doddle to stick to after that ...once you are in Ketotsis you don't feel hungry even

kelly: Well i have resolved to move on from "crash diets' and liquid meal replacement nonsense like the Cambridge Diet. I understand now why i tried it because the word "Cambridge" makes it sound very respectable..but its just crummy shakes like so many of the rest. i felt deprived and i gained back the weight i lost (6 lbs) almost right away.

jan: this is the only diet that ever works for me. it does require discipline but it tastes great. the rich chocolate shake tastes like a chocolate ice cream shake

mandy: Well, here's my little equation i have developed about MEAL REPLACEMENT. When you replace foods with liquids, you lose weight. When you return back to solid food, you get what I call WEIGHT REPLACEMENT. it comes right back, It never fails. It happened with Cambridge Diet and it is the last meal replacement diet i will do. Cambridge should be able to do better than this.

Georgia: Cambridge was the medical weightloss program for morbidly obese patients needing immediate surgery that made it into the mainstream. It started the liquid protein diet revolution that Slim Fast, Nature's Plus and Medifast have tried to imitate, but without the flavor and quality of product. Like any quick weight loss diet, once you reach your ideal weight, you just can't start eating the quantity and types of meals that got you "fat" in the first place. My first experience with Cambridge in the late '70s took me from a size 14 to a size 8, which I maintained for well over 10 years. Life happened and the weight changes -- I've tried everything from Weight Watchers to "appetite suppressants" (aka new fancy name for speed)along with weekly shots, but Cambridge has always been the product I continually return to for that kick start to weight loss. The failure isn't with the product, but with the consumer... :D

Lynn: I have all the respect in the world for Cambridge University, my cousin did her postgraduate work there. And I'm not surprised to hear that they were ahead of Slim fast and Medifast as far as liquid nourishment diets go. In fact, this was the last liquid diet i tried, because my logic was, "if this one doesn't work, none of the rest will." In the end, i think that even the best liquid diet out there isn't for me, because i start to feel psychologically deprived when i don't actually eat food, and that makes me want to cheat or pig out. So it becomes sort of inevitable, a matter of when i will slip, not whether i will slip. i definitely dont blame Cambridge or anyone else for my failure; i just think that for me, and for people like me who really like food, liquid diets are not the ideal approach.

April: I really like the Cambridge diet. I tried lots of "reasonable diets" like south beach or weight watchers and their results were so slow that I had a hard time sticking to them. Cambridge is definitely a diet for those who need serious momentum. I also like that the liquid diet aspect kind of "reset" my food habits. When I eat on diets that have you snack all day, I end up being used to eating all day and that only works if you are really good at eating healthy. By drinking such small quantities of food for a few months I got used to eating smaller amounts. So when I slowly began to reintroduce solid food I was used to small amounts and didn't over do it. When I read everyone elses reviews that said it was a confusing diet, I don't think they really read the diet, it's about as straight forward as you can get and there are like 4 total paragraphs on the various topics. And by the way, who really doesn't know how to eat healthy by now? We all know how to eat, we just don't do it!

Romie: The thing about getting fat is: we love to eat! We love to Chew! We love the whole process! the preparing, the cooking, the ohs and ahs when we put delicious food on the table...and you just can't replace that part of life with a shake and a bar! That's the trouble with the Cambridge Diet...no ritual! So I've given up on the idea of a quick weight loss, it's just not my style, and I can keep my eating in check with South Beach, that's what I'm doing now, I LOVE it that I have to take time to plan and cook, it's very fulfilling, and now I know I'm eating in the right way, the weight loss is sure to follow, I'm looking at food in a different way, but I still get to set a pretty table!

Carol: Amazing - loosing weight at a great rate. 3-4lb a week. Like the product. Love the result... like anything... all diets work, it's our brains that don't. You just have to find the one that works for you. Cambridge definitely works for me. Had 3 stone to lose, lost 1 1/2 in 6 weeks so got another 6 weeks to go. Then comes the hard part but determination and perseverence are the name of the game. I love the diet and the discipline and it is dead easy once you find the products that you like. There's something for everyone.

Susie: I lost 50lb on the Cambridge diet, I followed the maintenance program and kept the weight of for 3 years, having changed my attitude to food, I have found that now, no food is a sin, I just eat a little of the good food that I love. 4 months ago I returned to the Cambridge diet to loose the last 40lb, for me its the only diet that gives me a steady weight loss every week and so long as you recognize the need to change your relationship with food and learn to eat to live, not live to eat, you can't help but successful. This diet is not a miracle, its a tool and like all tools its only as good as the person who is using it.

LISA HARBORNE: I THIK THE CAMBRIDGE DIET IS EXCELLENT FOR SOMEBODY WHO HAS TO HAVE A CONTROLLED DIET. I HAVE LOST 6 STONE IN 4 MONTHS. YOU NEED REGULAR COUNCELLING AND SUPPORT AND A LOT OF WILL POWER. YOU DONT NEED TO JUST HAVE THE PROVIDED FOOD AND YOU CAN EAT NORMAL FOOD, JUST THE RIGHT ONES, MEAT, EGGS ETC. WORTH DOING IF YOU NEED TO LOOSE WEIGHT FAST.

Mike: I was considering the cambridge diet, so I am on a kind of research mission. I read some of these posts, and noticed, 'how many foolish people that have not even tried it, making comment with a Thumbs down? Maybe you bat for the other side, or just like being fat lazy twats, finding every excuse under the sun, to keep eating the Big mac crisps and sugar filled coke etc. Why are you people that comment without even trying it, so Fkng Primitive. Try it then give your comments, It may even get you laid one day, you ignorant fat flumps who think they know it all without trying I might be bit of one my self. But I will give it a thumbs up, as my good friend lost 8 stone in 6 months. So what are you negative primitive flumps that talk and dont do, are on about.

jody armstrong: Lost 13 pounds in a month. Love it.

Jim: Cambridge Diet will only work if you are determined to lose weight and follow the plan exactly as presented, usually after getting your doctors approval. If those folks writing against the Cambridge diet would only read up on the original doctors research done before it hit the market, they would see that to my knowledge no one has ever died from using the Cambridge diet. That is not to say, people will not die at all during their use of the Cambridge Diet, only that it has never been the fault of the Cambridge Diet they died, even though they loose fifteen to twenty pounds a month. As my doctor said, believe me carrying all the extra weight on me is far, far more dangerous than the quick weight loss the Cambridge Diet would cause me. I will admit, for those folks that just need to shed a few pounds, a regular low calorie diet with exercise would be the best for them, but if you have over fifty, seventy-five, or one hundred pounds to lose, fast, Cambridge is the way to go. I know, I have done it. It saved my life.

Cambridge Diet™

Starting in the UK, the Cambridge Diet has allowed thousands of people lose weight in its 25 years of existence. Its longevity in this market is striking when you consider how many diet and fitness plans come and go. The official website for the Cambridge Diet includes an array of information about the company, the diet programs offered, the way successful weight loss works and also sources of support for dieters. The plan begins and ends with certified counselors, and there is no way around them. In order to purchase the products for the diet plan, you must meet with one of the counselors. This, the company says, ensures you are losing at a safe rate and gives you extra support.

 Components
The Cambridge Diet began solely as a liquid shake weight loss plan. Now, however, the company has added food products to their line, all of which focus on a very reduced calorie diet. The Cambridge Diet plan seeks to keep daily calories somewhere between 415 and 1500 calories per day. This is very low when compared with the average person’s intake, but this is where the plan’s success comes from.

 Qualities
A healthy diet is key when trying to lose weight, and one of the common routes to losing weight through diet is restricting calories. Although the Cambridge Diet does promote exercise, they also recognize that some of the lower calorie plans may not provide enough energy for daily exercise. Counselors assist dieters with determining what, if any, exercise is appropriate.

 Price
The Cambridge Diet’s official website does not currently reveal any prices for their products. They claim one must meet with a counselor before determining which products are right for them. One look at the counselor locating tool reveals that there are none in the United States, making this diet very difficult for people stateside to participate in. However, it is available worldwide in various countries.

 Final Facts
No matter what else is said about dieting, reduced calories will lead to weight loss. The Cambridge Diet uses this premise to propel their products into serious success. Many people have used this plan to drop dramatic weight, and you can see the results on the website. Being cautious not to overdo things, the program uses exercise sparingly. They also provide support through an online chat room and community as well as personal counselors, providing the support necessary for dieters to stay on the right track.
