Vlcd on channel 5 news

[LizS]

Wasn't the concept of VLCD invented by hospitals/medical nutritionist types in the first place?

I have to say, the whole 'diet and exercise' thing is of course brilliant if you have a small amount of weight to lose, and I do of course subscribe to it as a healthy lifestyle choice when the weight is off. It won't work for me at present, for innumberable reasons that we all know and don't need repeating!

I have to say I think a lot of the negativity that surrounds VLCD is to do with the fact that it is 'hardcore' - and eating/food is such an integral necessity in our lives that to do without is completely incomprehensible to some. Its a bit like giving up breathing - just 'can't be done' and thus is wrong, etc.

Ah well as long as I know its my own educated, reasoned and well thought through choice, nobody else's opinion matters a damn.

Amen to all of that, I know food is an addiction for me, I eat because I can, not because I need to and I had got to a point where I knew the only thing that could stop me was to break the addiction and re-establish a proper eating pattern. I am only in the early stages but it is working for me and that is what matters.

well we know it works and that we have suffered bad side effects!

it's funny that these people will send people to have gastric bypasses and that can only have a very restriced diet after surgery no way have all the nutrients and vit on this diet!
