Physician Monitored Program
This is the responsible approach to weight loss for
those who have large amounts of weight to lose (30 pounds or more) or
for those under a physician's care for other medical conditions. In
clinical trials, the average weight loss was 16 to 20 pounds per month.
Because the program uses the Cambridge Food For Life Nutrition formula
as the sole source of nutrition (420 calories/day) for a longer period
of time, physician supervision is required.
Features
- Maximum weight loss in the shortest possible time
- Recommended for people who have large amounts of weight to
lose (30 pounds or more)
- Physician supervision ("Physician Monitoring Guidelines"
available)
- Less expensive and less regimented than hospital programs using
very-low-calorie diets
How to Follow the Program
- Consult your physician. A copy of the "Physician Monitoring
Guidelines" is available from a Cambridge Distributor or the Company
if your physician is interested in our suggested guidelines.
- Enjoy three servings of the Cambridge Food For Life
Nutrition formula (cereal, soups, or drinks) each day, or as directed
by your physician at or near your normal mealtimes. Do not skip any
servings.
- Drink a minimum of eight to ten 8-ounce glasses
of water each day (tea, decaf coffee or other non-caloric beverages
are allowed in addition to, but not substituting for, the water).
- When you are 10 to 15 pounds from your goal weight,
we recommend you switch to the Regular Program until you reach your
goal weight.
The Physician Monitored Program is a very-low-calorie
diet and results in rapid weight loss. Because a low caloric level and
large amounts of rapid weight reduction can place unusual strain on
the body, monitoring by your physician is essential.
