This is extremely important, even if 2) In your first week you are going through lots of adjustments. One of them is entering 3) You can break up your servings into 6, 1/2 servings per day. For some this seems to help, 4) If you are going to add regular food to the diet , try to stick to lean proteins and low carb 5) Drink water! Lots of water! More then you likely drink now. Double it! I have a 33 oz bottle 6) Take a good "before" picture. This will become very important to you as you are losing. I 7) Try not to be a slave to the scale. Remember that scales are weighing the entire body, not 8) Exercise is not a requirement to lose on Cambridge, but it certainly does keep things moving 9) If you have a large amount to lose, try not to look at the big picture. Take it in mini goals, 10) You will probably have lots of well meaning friends and family tell you that what you are 11) You will probably go through some emotional trials as you lose.

are worth repeating I think
you are doing the regular program and adding food. You are only guaranteed a safe weight loss
experience if you have your 3 a day. Otherwise you are on a "crash" type diet and could harm
your health.
ketosis. You can read about ketosis on my web site on the Q&A page. Until you enter ketosis
you may experience hunger. If so, feel free to have additional Cambridge if you need them.
Have whatever it takes to get you through the first few days without breaking your diet. You
are better off having additional calories of Cambridge then regular food that may get out of
control.
especially in the beginning.
veggies. This will have less of an effect on your appetite. High sugar foods like fruit might
stimulate your appetite, but you can try and see. Some people add fruit to the shakes and do
fine, others find it makes them hungry.
that I fill at least 3 times a day. It helps with weight loss and fluid retention.
found that I had such body image problems that I could not see the weight loss in the mirror.
I had to keep taking Polaroid's to compare the difference. It is amazing to see the progress in
pictures!
just the fat. Your body is in a constant state of change and it is unrealistic to think that what
you see on the scale is in any was an accurate measure of fat loss. Try to weigh once a week
and then have someone hide the scale from you!
along and helps to tone and firm as you lose. The health benefits are tremendous, both
physically and mentally! walking is a good way to start and light weights should come next.
10 pounds, one size, etc. Before you know it you will be at goal!
doing is bad for you. Try to listen and understand that most people are only talking to please
themselves, not you. Obviously, you have done your research and have determined that
cambridge is a safe effective and nutritious way to lose weight at the fastest rate possible.
Thank them for their concern and then suggest they go have this conversation with one of
their friends who is considering gastric surgery.
because we were hungry! We got obese because of an inappropriate relationship with food
based on an emotional need. You will be confronting these issues as your weight goes down.
This is part of the healing that is taking place and should be embraced, not avoided.
brag! We will cheer for you, we will cry with you, we will educate you, we will understand.
ones, etc..but this is all about you! This is the time to be selfish in the best way possible. Do
not let others needs override your own. No one will die if you don't go to that BBQ or have any
of that birthday cake. You will not offend anyone if you refuse to go out with the people at
work to celebrate a promotion or a retirement. Send a card or flowers, just don't send yourself!
Now, in closing here are a few hints about how to prepare the products along with some other info..
before drinking them. The encapsulation will wear off and you will notice a vitamin taste.
nearly enough water. If you only use 4 to 5oz water you will end up with a solid lump! I use about 1 1/4 cup water to my two rounded scoops. I like to cook mine on the stove, but you can use a microwave oven if you want. Just be aware that microwave ovens do destroy nutrients in the food you prepare in them. If you use the micro be sure to use a BIG bowl as they will boil over! Be sure to stir. You can sweeten them as you like. I like to use all natural Agave Nectar or Stevia. I do not encourage the use of artificial sweeteners, but that is a personal choice for you to make. You can add cinnamon or any other spice you like.
with banana or other extracts. You can also add a tsp. or 2 to your 420 shakes to thicken them
up!
you prefer. It is really a matter of personal taste. Some do prefer the Original 330 formula. I happen to love the 330 Chocolate combined with the 330 Rich Vanilla. I will sometimes add an extra tsp or two of cocoa powder to darken the flavor.
the Food for Life 420 30 day Plan, and the Original 330 30 Day Plan. Both come with the money
back guarantee. If you try to reorder a plan that you have already tried the company will hold
your order until they can contact you to explain the rules. They will offer to sell you the 6 or 7
cans at the regular retail price, but you will not get the free items again. Sorry!
Do not mix hot soups or drinks in a closed blender! It will explode!!
those hand held electric stick blenders that fit right into your glass. Mine is made by BrAun and
cost about $9.00.
cake, muffins and whatever else you may come up with yourself! Have fun and experiment!
Try to clear your calendar for at least two weeks when you are first beginning. You don't want
to have to fight temptation in the first couple of weeks. get to the point when you have
experienced some exciting weight loss and are into ketosis so the appetite is not a problem
before you put yourself in a place to have to make food decisions.
happy to share their ideas and there is also the recipe page on my web site.
chocolate or vanilla shake. You can get all sorts of flavorings in your store or online at sights
like Watkins.
berries or peaches. Make sure that you are not one of those that fruit is a problem for. If yo
find you are hungrier after fruit, don't use it.
