I must admit, I tell anyone and everyone what diet I am doing. First and foremost because if I didn't tell people I work with then I could possibly cheat and they wouldn't know any different. But now I have been doing it so long and lost so much weight, I feel amazing and if by me telling someone a little bit of info about it then (if they need to lose weight) they might go and do something about it. I think that's how a lot of these VLCD's are heard of through word of mouth or knowing someone else who's done it.
I really think they save a lot of people's lives and save the NHS a lot of money. But they should definitely only be used by people who have a lot of weight to lose.
Not everyone agrees with them but generally them that don't agree or think that they are faddy obviuosly don't know a lot about them (that was me 13 weeks before I started my LL journey).
At the end of the day it is up to the indiviual. But be proud of what you are doing for yourself and good luck with all of you're journeys x x
