[QUOTE="DawnOfTheZed, post: 2076311, member: 501602"] Hi. I've been doing Cambridge for about 6 weeks now. Last hba1c before started was 38. I find it very carby, it's about 30g per sachet but because it's 'instant' food that you add water to, I absorb the carbs very quickly. My bg goes up +4 mmol within ~1 hr but I fortunately come down to only +1-2 mmol after 2 hr from first slurp/bite. I already lost 11% weight prior to starting it by low carbing but it took 5 months and wanting to lose it quicker. Frankly am a bit disappointed with my losses, ~ 0.7 kg per week. Others do better, but I think they're diets were more junky than me before it? Am planning to continue a bit more but not sure I could recommend it here unless someone will check their bg and make their own decisions. One good point is the 'step' programme so that once you reach goal weight you go up a graduated calorie prog. So should be better maintenance months later rather than typical yo-yo diets. I'd be happy to hear others experiences and opinions about it. Forgot to say, get the extra fibre and drink the 2.25 L of water a day for it to work! Surprisingly don't feel too hungry on it with those. [/QUOTE]
