Then the amazing dieter and Consultant Deborah Adams talked about how she has lost 8st with The 1:1 Diet and transformed her life.

Mark also appeared on Sky News Australia to talk about how people are finding diets from their friends or the internet instead of using an evidence-based approach to maintain a healthy weight. "

"Most people find a diet from a friend or the internet, and they are not using evidence-based, scientifically validated behaviour change” he told Sky News Australia.

A word from Mark...

"I’ve spent a substantial proportion of the last 30 years reading research and working with people (and companies) to improve their health and body composition.  I’ve worked with the world’s top bodybuilders, athletes, sports nutrition companies, and diet brands, and I can honestly say that of all the diet programs I’m aware of, The 1:1 Diet has the most impressive body of research to demonstrate its effectiveness. I simply wouldn’t have joined this company if it didn’t have a large and impressive body of the highest-quality research on its efficacy.

When people go on this diet, they don’t just lose weight, virtually every key measure of health gets better.

Uniquely, The 1:1 Diet also has long-term (multi-year) studies showing excellent maintenance of weight loss – perhaps the most difficult part of the dieting/weight-loss journey!"

The Weight of Nation

The Weight of the Nation 2024. A deep dive into the relationship between weight, mental health, and overall wellbeing.

Welcome to our annual review of research conducted on behalf of The 1:1 Diet by Cambridge Weight Plan. This year, we polled a sample of over 2,000 UK adults to shine a light on the nation’s relationship between weight and wellbeing.

“It’s never been more vital to raise awareness and understanding of the links between weight, diet, and mental and physical health.” - Mark Gilbert, Nutritionist

The Research...

"So why did I say that The 1:1 Diet by Cambridge Weight Plan is the most effective in my intro? Well, in my opinion, that’s where the research points…but don’t take my word for it. Let’s first look at the conclusions of just one of the dozens of independent studies that tested our diet. Here are the scientist’s conclusions from the University of Oxford ‘DROPLET’ study: compared to the ‘usual weight management protocol’,"

The 1:1 Diet ‘leads to substantially greater weight loss and improvements in the risk of cardiometabolic disease. 

Average weight loss was 1½ stone, three and a half times greater than the diet strategy considered best by healthcare providers. When we talk about ‘cardiometabolic disease’ reduction, this means that the diet causes a substantially lower risk of heart attack, stroke, insulin resistance, diabetes, fatty liver disease, and high blood pressure, among other diseases."

A final note...

"Finally, with The 1:1 Diet, you can be confident that our tasty food products provide quality nutrition and help you stay on track. Each product is formulated to deliver one third of your daily essential nutritional requirements, including being high in quality protein, vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients.

They also help to minimise hunger and cravings. We know from interviews of subjects in the DiRECT study that our diet is easier than expected to stick to and in the DROPLET study, 62% of study subjects continued using The 1:1 Diet after the study ended, despite now having to pay for it themselves after the study.

In conclusion, if you are looking to lose weight, improve your health, and change your life... it's time to get on The 1:1 Diet plan."
