...yes, I agree, my meal pack doesn't look particularly appetising, but y'know, it's my lunch, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't peer into the bowl while making retching noises.
...no, I don't feel hungry, it's one of the side effects of ketosis. No, you're confusing it with ketoacidosis. They're different.
...no thank you, I don't want a bit of your orange/grapes/maltesers. No really, I don't care how many calories are in them. I can't have any food apart from my meal packs. But thank you anyway.
...yes, if I go back to eating how I did before, of course I'll pile the weight back on. If I eat healthily, I'll keep the weight off. My stomach won't have magically permanently shrunk so I can never eat again without instantly putting on a stone. We're all nurses, surely you know this?
...yes, I could just cut down portion sizes. But I'm very overweight, and this means I can lose weight a lot quicker. For some reason I have far more willpower on a vlcd than I do on a conventional diet. The same goes for your helpful "tips" on cutting out crisps/chocolate/carbs. I know what I should be eating. But I chose not to, and this is the result.
...no, I don't believe it's dangerous. I've done my research, and to be honest, I think being as fat as I am is more dangerous than this diet.
Now, if I could just get through a day without having to repeat the above, countless times, I'd be very happy. Thank you
