What will change, do you know?
I was reading up on this diet and from some research that was made about the contents of what was in the packs I found that this diet manages to stand on its own. This is due to the fact that it has such even levels of 'what the body needs' that it doesn't in effect go into starvation mode as opposed to any other VLCD. That answers one of my major questions and settles my mind that it is more manageable to maintain on this diet than any other.
