After watching a few programmes on TV about weight lost surgery, why isn’t more said about and done about VLCD diets like CD. As usual these programmes point the finger at overweight people, normally showing pictures of them stuffing there faces with cakes and junk food, implying that’s all we ever do, then go on to say how much surgery will cost for Gastric bands etc.
I have spent a life time trying to lose weight, I know about food and nutrition, I have changed my eating habits, no sugar, no butter, I try to watch what I eat (yes, I know I’m not perfect), but still weight went on.
I dieted for four / five months at a time (many times), losing a pound a week and managing to up to lose 2 stones (wow wee), for me to slowly come of it and over next year or two put back on and move. To the point I have just become completely fed up with dieting so I didn’t and slowly my weight crept up.
I had to do something about it and I found stumbled across CD, what a change in six weeks I lost more than any diet before. I see quick changes, yes I know all the books tell to lose weight slowing, but hell, I can lose it quickly see the changes and feel better and then worry about maintaining it, with the other diets I never ever get to the point where I need to worry about maintaining my weight, as never lost enough.
So with this great epidemic of obesity as we are kept being told why isn’t the NHS doing more to promote VLCD, its works look at all the people on this site who have lost many many stones.
