And hopefully proof that VLCDs arent the only way to lose a lot of weight (quote from a thread on Minimins news)
There always seems to be negativity towards VLCD's. I'm not sure why.
I lost 5 1/2 stone on WW about 10 years ago, fell pregnant put a bit on, stay at home mum, put another bit on, etc etc - back to 5 1/2 stone to lose.
I tried WW again last year and lost 2 1/2 stones in 6 months. I put all that back on by Christmas. There must be more people than me who've tried most diets. Where your head is may dictate the path you choose. Some people can't maintain a VLCD as it is really restrictive. Some people need to have rapid results to keep going. Some people see this as a last resort.
This isn’t the only negative comment I’ve read about VLCD’s.
Why in a support forum is there sniping when I get enough of that at work?
Whoever said VLCD’s were the only way to lose a lot of weight?
Whichever way works for anyone is fine with me. I admire everyone for trying, not only those who have lost a zillion stone. Its hard for everyone to do. It’s hard calculating BMI and finding you’re obese. Harder to start a diet and face up to having ignored your weight and you may be putting your life at risk. Hard to keep going when you’ve lost/gained 1 lb or stayed the same.
Well done to everyone trying to improve their health !!! Yay you !!!
