[QUOTE="Fleegle, post: 1646038, member: 402985"] I did the ultraslim shakes. I didn't mind them too much. In fact I confess the strawberry ones were really nice indeed. You will get a load of posts about spiking your blood. They are mixed with semi-skimmed milk but I found a post of someone who watered them down - and they tasted much better and you reduce an amount of the carbs. You then need to think how you get the macro's write in terms of protein, fat and calories that the milk would have given you. I actually found the vegetables much worse - my goodness they were dull. But - and I am sure many will point out - you can use normal food like Michael Mosley did in his book the blood sugar diet and someone posted a video with Prof Taylor saying the same. Now I have also seen a lot of people post that it doesn't matter how long it takes as long a you lose the weight. I personally cannot evidence that but doesn't mean it is not completely true. I have heard him say the important thing to do is to stick to it until the fat is removed from the pancreas - so those two statements seem a bit of a juxtaposition to me. The thing is - 8 weeks or so on the shakes is not hard at all - really over rated how hard and typically people who have not tried it are typically the first to tell you how bad it is. Also - hunger is not to big a problem. I am on the LCHF diet now for a while and funny enough at times I get a bit hungry on that too. I would probably not do it again - but would do it again and intend to do so at some point on some real food. Get GP support and make sure you feel well all the time and then if you do - give it a go. If you are going to face into the rest of your life on a very strict LC diet - then what is 8 weeks or so in the grand scheme of things. BTW - I would absolutely, every now and then love a bacon sandwich maybe once or twice a year maybe. I do worry if I could would I stop at one - but that is what I would call a world class problem to have. [/QUOTE]
