About Cambridge Weight Plan Nasik Consultant Krishna Jaiswal Surani in , Nasik (Nashik)

The Cambridge Weight Plan stems from the early 1960's when Dr Alan Howard, then a research scientist at the University of Cambridge, developed an interest in overweight and obesity.

He began to investigate methods of weight reduction, using himself as one of the guinea pigs. Together with Dr Ian McLean-Baird of the West Middlesex Hospital, in 1968 he organised a National Symposium on Obesity, the first ever held in the UK.

They went on to collaborate and develop what they regarded as the’ perfect diet’. With Dr McLean-Baird, Alan Howard set up a research project at the West Middlesex Hospital. What they wanted to achieve was the creation of a formula food with:

The excellent weight loss properties of starvation, but no undesirable side effects
The right level of protein to protect lean tissue
The right level of carbohydrate to promote a mild ketosis and eliminate a sense of hunger
The right levels of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and essential fatty acids to maintain good health
The first formula produced excellent weight loss results, and further work by food technologists enhanced flavours and led to the first commercial version of the Cambridge Weight Plan (originally called The Cambridge Diet).
