Hi, I'm new to the forum and this is my first post!
I'm currently trying to decide which VLCD I should go on. I'm 5ft 4inches, a size 20 and weigh about 15 stone. I'm vegetarian and I think a large part of my weight problem is my lack of protein and excessive carb intake. Also my husband can eat what he likes and stays a normal size, so I've been dragged into his eating habits and put on about 2 stone in the 4 years we've been together. I think a meal replacement diet would be good because then I can distance myself from his eating patterns. However, I wondered about doing something like W8 where I'd have 1 normal meal a day as well.
What are other people's experiences?
Also as I'm so overweight (and I've recently got some horrible red stretch marks on my tummy) will I have loose flesh if I lose weight too fast? Is there any way to avoid this?
I'd be really grateful for your advice, thanks
