Same principle though!!

I bruise easily anyway so it's nothing new to me, but I can't say that they hurt. Ask the pharmacist next time you see him/her.

Im not on a VLCD but have noticed this a lot recently, so much so I mentioned it to the doctor today while showing him my lastest crop of bruises.... he said he didnt think it was anything to worry about... dead comforting that - not!

I never normally bruise easily but now i have loads!! Especially on my legs..my knees have about 4 on each actually and they really hurt when they touch in bed! Not using to having bones without all the fatty padding!! xxx

if you are bruising easily due to diet its usually to a lack of vitamins, in particular vitamin C.
You should probably take a vitamin supplement, i expect the pharmacist will confirm this.

Bruising can be a side effect on a VLCD it is possible due to a lack of Vitamin K. Although there is Vitamin K in the diet there is no RDA for this vitamin and some need more than others.

Have a word with your pharmacist there is a tablet called Synkovit which should help.
