    wow ok :)

    So the Cambridge has been around since 1960 and it is not a perfect diet but then look at Atkins, Dukan etc. There is one simple reason I am doing it, and as my CDC knows is i am doing it on the lowest step (440-500 Calories) for 1 month to kick start then I will slowly step up until I am at 1200 a day and work at it then.

    Being as big as i was and am its hard to work out, gyms are scary, walking even in cold temperatures leaves you hot and sweating like an Eskimo in the dessert.

    Trials have been done using patients at my doctors and although I am aware that this is not a fix, its a kick start to a solution. I have to change me in order to a loose more weight and b keep it off. So thank you all for your concern but I have researched it. Every CDC has to have done the diet and all of them tell you that you will have to work hard, readjust, up your calories slowly and exercise more until you find the right balance.

    What I was more worried about was no matter what calorie intake you have say 1200, should you always exercise to be in a deficit so burn 1300 a day? or is there a balance. I am totally new to exercise and not even google could help me :)

    Thanks all for your concern though :)

    We can help you lose the weight and maintain LBM while not feeling limited in what you can or cannot eat.
    If you stick with the Cambridge diet, going back to the original question, id say none!
    Dont work out at all since diet is 80% of losing weight.
    you arent eating even enough for basic vital organ function so working out would be pointless.

    If you're under a doctor's supervision while doing this I would ask them. I don't agree with VLCD (simply put they don't work long term) but your doctor is the one who went through a medical degree so ask them. If you're eating that little, working out is a bad, bad idea.

    Excess skin will happen. To avoid it the best option is to weight lift and use the cream. To be able to successfully weight lift you need to be eating the right amount of calories. You aren't eating enough, so I wouldn't recommend it.

    My doctor had a medical degree too, but I was at 230 (I'm 5'2") and she wanted me to get the lap band. A medical degree doesn't equal full knowledge unfortunately. Told her I'd do diet and exercise, thanks. Think what YOU did sounds great :)
