    How do i deal with the negative reactions?

    Tell them that EVERYONE puts the weight back on with EVERY diet if they go back to the way they were eating before they went on it. The latest research is that it is not unsafe to lose weight quickly. In fact losing it quickly has been proved to be more successful. If you only lose a...

    Christmas Abstainers?

    I intend to be completely abstinent at Christmas. No food nor alcohol. How well do you get on with your inlaws? If you get on well with them then you are more likely to get support than if you don't. You will have to put on plenty of smiles to show you are enjoying yourself, because a...

    So emotional!!!

    I was seething, but nothing more I could do. I just hope what goes around comes around and someone cons him out of the same percentage of his income as the £30 was out of mine. Anyway because of my complaints about him (that came to nothing) he struck me off and that was the best thing...

    So emotional!!!

    My doctor charged me £30 to sign the form, after I handed him the money he took the form back and scribbled all over it "I do not agree with this" and highlighted it in yellow. When I told him that they would not accept that and asked for my money back he refused to give it to me. That was...

    Food packs

    I would also say that as time passes to occasionally try one or two that you didn't like at the beginning. I used to think the chilli con carne was awful, but I tried it again this week and I didn't dislike it half as much as I did in the first weeks. I also find a little salt and pepper in the...

    Soup crisps

    You are not supposed to make anything with them. In the green book (my journey) given to me when I joined 5 weeks on page 20 it says: Ready steady dont cook Whilst our porridge and chilli are specially formulated to withstand cooking according to the insstructions, don't cook any other...

    I spoke to a nurse yesterday...

    My last message sounds like I agree with them. I certainly do not. But it is so frustrating because my own GP also will not sign any form. I am therefore having to go it alone, and it is not easy. I am buying bars from the internet and using two a day plus a meal of around 300 calories...

    I spoke to a nurse yesterday...

    At a local doctors surgery they have actually put up a big notice saying that their dieticians do not recommend VLC diets and that there is no point in asking any of the doctors to sign any forms because they will not do so. Lilian

    Can you help please

    Blonde Logic, I looked up the Cambridge Diet website and they say they need a doctor to do the same as LL. Could be, of course, they say that but do not strictly adhere to it like LL do. Perhaps I should ring my local CD counsellor and see what she says. I would, of course, prefer LL...

    Can you help please

    Donnalou, Thanks for that. I have looked at the Cambridge diet and unfortunately they do require the same as LL and they do have counsellors. However I am interested to hear that you managed to get a private doctor to sign it for you, and presumably has agreed to monitor you. I guess you...

    Can you help please

    Thanks for your replies. I am actually a type 2 but because of my increased weight and deteriorating diabetes I was put on insulin. One consultant told me that if I lost some weight I might not need to be on insulin at all. The Lighter Life counsellor said she would speak to a medical...

    Can you help please

    I want to start Lighter Life but my doctor has refused to sign form, mainly because I am on insulin, although I am still a type 2 diabetic. What I would like to know is if there are any other type 2's on insulin who have been doing Lighter Life successfully. Thanks Lilian
