Unfortunately VLC diets such as ND do not suit everyone. I went on one a number of years ago, similar to slim fast, when I was in my early twenties which was only 330 cals per day and I lost about 7lbs in two months! However what was more serious was that it made me ill due to my metabolism going into starvation mode and shutting down my organs to the extent that my doctor told me to eat 3 proper meals a day and sent me to an endocrinologist who told me that I was one of his few patients who could honestly blame their metabolism for not losing weight. I have since managed to lose some weight but that is probably due to taking medicines for an under active thyroid.I like those wise words - and if people are open minded and do not post utter rubbish in some form of effort to try and make it something it is not - positively or negatively - then that would be fair. And I personally felt the attention the fantastic news got yesterday was unfair and showed the strong and almost overwhelming attitude to anything that isn't LC.
Very sad after reading it all yesterday and wondering what a new member would make of it.
