A Healthy Diet
27.05.20087.Avoid additives – especially colouring agents and sweeteners. While some additives stop the growth of bacteria, most are used to give food more colour or taste. Unfortunately, many additives have been found to cause health problems such as asthma, rashes and hyperactivity.
8.Reduce your intake of salt. We get all the sodium we need from natural ingredients in food. Too much salt upsets the natural potassium-sodium balance.
9.Strive for an alkalising diet. You’ve probably heard of acid rain, but have you heard of the human equivalent, acidosis? The body performs best when slightly alkaline, but most Western diets are full of acid-forming foods. Try to cut down on food and drinks like alcohol, chocolate, coffee crisps and fizzy drinks. Instead, consume more alkalising food and drinks like fruit, vegetables and herbal teas.
10.Take a regular supplement of minerals and vitamins. Although fruit and vegetables should provide all of our minerals and vitamins, due to over-farming of soil, and problems with fruit and vegetables being picked when they’re too young, nutrients are often not as concentrated as they should be. For these reasons I recommend a natural supplement called Super Supplemental, which you can find at www.nutrichef.co.uk

W A R N I N G!!!
DO NOT EVER TRY THE CAMBRIDGE DIET/LIGHTER LIFE!!!
Yes it is a super quick way to lose the pounds but it is in-humane and EVIL.
TORTURE is the best way to describe it, u literally WAIT and obsess over when your next shake is.
The diet consists of 3 shakes a day and then after a few weeks u can replace a shake with a bar. You have to drink over 2ltrs of water a day which is fine and does wonders for your skin, but you are not allowed to eat ANYTHING else or u undo everything u have suffered for.
Its a VCD (Very low calorie diet) approx 450 cal a day which is VERY unhealthy!!! You feel very very ill on it and u feel weak. The counsellor said i would have loads of enegy but i ended up feeling drained and fatigued. I also got an allergic reaction to what they bulk the shakes up with, so be careful.
Its also known to mess up the menstrual cycle so women..BE CAREFUL!!
To be honest when icame off it i stuck to my own diet of 1100 cals a day, no red meat, just chicken NO SKIN and fish with vegs and salad and sweet potato instead of potato. I give myself saturday off so i dont become miserable!! AND i lost about 6lbs in the 1st week and the same again the 2nd, ive lost about 3lbs on average a week since. DRINKING LOADS of water still and my skin has cleared up loads and my nails are growing faster. Taking vitamins and just feeling alot more healthier.
