always recommend that you should consult
your doctor before commencing any
diet programme, but it is essential
to get your doctor's signed confirmation
of any medication or medical condition
before you can start the 'Sole Source'
programme, so that the doctor can
adjust medication where appropriate. |
Sole Source of nutrition
Step
1 is a nutritionally complete formula food
(often referred to as a very low calorie
diet, or the 'sole source of nutrition')
which can be ideal for those who prefer
a period of time away from the temptations
of conventional food.
Sole Source is suitable for those above
BMI 25, with at least 6.3kg to lose.
On this programme, the dieter takes two-three
SoyaSlim® meals in place of conventional
food. For men, or women above 1.7m, three
SoyaSlim® meals should be taken. In
addition to water used to mix the diet powder
and cups of unsweetened black tea or black
coffee, it is advisable to drink at least
2 litres of water per day.
Using the 'Sole Source' programme is not
advisable when certain medical conditions
are present. We say these conditions are
'contra-indicated'. There are also a number
of medical conditions with which 'Sole Source'
may be used with special precautions.
Cambridge recommends that the Sole Source
programme is followed for no longer than
four weeks at a time. At that point, if
target weight has not yet been reached,
the dieter should have an 'Add a Meal' week.
Step
1 Add-a- Meal
This variation of 'Step 1 Sole Source' is
most suitable for those, who might find
it difficult to stay on Sole Source due
to their lifestyle or type of work.
The
‘Add a Meal’ menu is also used
as a natural break after four weeks on Sole
Source, and is also the first part of the
stabilisation process once target weight
is achieved. Sometimes referred to as the
‘green and white’ meal, this
menu introduces selected lean protein and
vegetables to supplement the Cambridge meal
options.
• 2 or 3 SoyaSlim® meals
• 80g portion of white fish
• 80g poultry meat (without skin
or fat)
• 80g tofu
• 80g skimmed milk cottage cheese
• 2tbsp ‘white or green’
vegetables (cooked or raw) such as spring
greens, cauliflower, lettuce, mushrooms,
cabbage, broccoli, celery, cress, zucchini
or cucumber.
Continue to drink at least 2 litres of water
per day, and as much unsweetened black tea
or black coffee as you want.
