What happens to blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides (blood fats) on the Cambridge Diet sole source programme?
The Cambridge Diet is extremely low in fat. On the sole source programme both cholesterol and blood fat levels fall – cholesterol by an average of 25%, triglycerides by an average of 40%. Levels rise again on resuming a normal diet – but not to re-dieting levels. The Cambridge Maintain healthy eating recommendations are geared towards low-fat, high fibre eating which, as a long-term strategy, can help not only to control weight but to maintain healthy cholesterol and blood fat levels.
