THE WEIGHT CARE  (the newest version of the Cambridge Diet, England) is backed by over 25 years of research and development - the very well researched and documented diet. VLCD (very low calories diet) contains all the vitamins, minerals, trace elements, protein, essential fatty acids and carbohydrates that are needed by adult humans.

The formula was tested in a number of centers in Europe,  principally Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge and at the West Middlesex Hospital, London (England) (two obesity clinics).  Each patient was seen weekly, and frequent samples of blood were taken for biochemical analysis.  After a study of several hundred patients, using a battery of routine tests, including electrocardiographs and other clinical examinations, the formula was found remarkably effective, and absolutely no adverse effects of any importance were discovered.  
In 1978/79 the Formula was  tested in several other obesity clinics in Denmark.  The results were outstanding - please click on History to find out more. 

The drop-out rate in all the trials had been extremely low - 3 to 5%, that is much lower than with any other diet (- the taste is of a great importance, and it tastes good, everyone can stay on any diet for few days once the mind is set, on this one,  the results are quickly visible; the first week you lose weight, the second week you start losing inches - you shrink).
Long term weight maintenance was achieved by 59% after one year (retained or improved weight loss), 42% after three years, as compared to 5 % (maximum) using other methods.
