The diet you describe is the right diet to end up on, but you don’t understand the Total Replacement diet regimen and why it’s important to lose the weight drastically and under medical supervision. The year long program has been proven to drive diabetes into remission and sets participants up with a realistic probability of transitioning to a healthier lifestyle. I’ll stress the medical supervision aspect as people have many issues and medications associated with diabetes that need monitoring.

@@mattmangan6051Alastair, don’t you dare label them or for that matter me as gullible. You are obviously so lucky not to need it. I am type 2 diabetes and I am on it, just started. Obviously I have tried other ways and have failed. It’s early days so far and if it helps me at least get my portion sizes under control afterwards then that’s fab and if my diabetes goes into remission then that’s even better 3 months out of my life is going to hurt me less than all the yo-yo dieting and other issues by having diabetes then so be it. These shakes are basically full of vitamins and minerals etc. What works for you is fine but don’t try and disempower those of us who are trying something different.

You say these shakes are full of vitamins and minerals, yes...... of the synthetic, not wholefood type. It's called fortification, and it's what food manufacturers add to highly processed foods to try and fool the public into being healthy. Breakfast Cereals and Bread for example are example. As synthetic vitimins are not naturally connectected to the product, and the product they are added to is already highly processed, then the Bioavailably of these synthetic vitamins are very poorly if at all absorbed by the body meaning they are useless, and you will still quickly lead to a vitamin and mineral deficiency. They are also devoid of natural fibre, phytonutrients, and microbiomes. Also the aforementioned chemicals in these products 8ncrease inflammation in the body, and the associated risks connected with it. Eating 600 Kcal of wholefoods daily is still far too low, but at least you will at least be getting natural nutrients and fibre with that, rather than guzzling this toxic cement.

If you follow the low carb element of this diet, which is about 130g/day, you will achieve the same results, but because you are eating enough fat and protein, your appetite is much more controllable.

How do you know what's in the shakes? And news flash: anyone trying to eat only greens will get bored and frustrated and end up bingeing on sweets, a vicious cycle. The shakes and soups offer a balance of sweet and savoury, with protein and vitamins.

I think the NHS wants to help everybody. It might be that this very low calorie diet could work against you. You might need a different diet that is not as restrictive because your body needs nutrition support that these shakes do not offer. Speak to your GP and see if they can put you in another programme. I wish you good luck

Trigger finger is not joints

If it works and saves lives then you can call it whatever you like?

My friend in his 20s went from 20 to 30 stone on Cambridge diets. He was so desperate for the taste of solid food when he got off that he pigged. There is a need to understand your normal diet and how nutrition and food quality matters. Useless without. Yoyoing weight stresses the vascular system. Mama Cass case in point.

​@@daxdasche6112 I'm sure different people have different results. Not everyone liquidises their food completely. I for example sometimes have chunky veg in soup.

@@daxdasche6112 No mention of the quality of ingredients. Anyone can lose weight restricting calories, but what happens after is key. Back to junk food?

​@@yoya4766no u then stick to a healthier diet to avoid any diseases etc but it's up to the individual to be determined and if so they will achieve it you got to want to do it

A year on…how’s it hanging?

@@TheBaldingFish get the cream and use it for 3x a day for 6weeks with stretching exercises. That’s what my doc said to me and I can retract it Also when you pee pull the skin back as far as it goes so no pes gets in the foreskin and also when in bath stretch it also

How did that go, if you don't mind me asking? I'm suffering from phimosis (at 40 something) and wary of going to the GP in case he suggests a circumcision.

@@paull3466update?

@@paull3466 what did you end up doing?

@@Jackoooloop9456 I plucked up the courage to go to my doctor, and he put me forward for a circumcision.
