In line with the new NICE guidelines on Obesity it is true that you will be able to sole source for up to 12 weeks without doing an Add A Meal week.
The reason at present it is every 4 weeks is so that it adheres to current COMA recommendations which date back to 1987.
The new programmes are due in the next few weeks and also counsellors are now aware of the new programmes and will be going through these with their clients.
I am sure also we can do a description on here (as soon as time permits!)
For now no one panic as the new programmes are not that much different at all and are still the best way (IMO!!) to get to goal weight and stay there.
