Medical Condition:

The Cambridge Diet should not be used in any weight loss programme by the following people:

• pregnant women - can be taken as a nutritional supplement only in addition to a healthy diet
• diabetics on insulin (diabetes Type I or diabetes insipidus)
• within 3 months of having a heart attack or stroke; or an operation or serious accident
• anyone with a serious heart condition
• porphyria
• severe kidney or liver disease
• severe depression
• anorexia or bulimia nervosa

Medication:

Insulin
Insulin is used to treat Type I diabetes. No Cambridge weight loss programmes should be followed by insulin dependent diabetics because of the problems of regulating blood sugar levels. Few insulin dependent diabetics are overweight.

Anti-Obesity Drugs
It is unnecessary for these drugs to be taken when a Cambridge weight-loss programme is followed. If the drugs are not discontinued, then the Cambridge Diet must not be used.
