    Oviva, Morelife or Xyla - NHS options?

    Hi, My Dr has offered an NHS healthy eating/weightloss scheme, but I need to choose one of three, Oviva, Morelife or Xyla. Any advice? They all seem similar. I guess I'm looking for one which has good vegetarian recipes, I need to loose a lot of weight, but have difficulty with willpower. (and...

    I got diagnosed as type 2 this week, with a reading of 7.9. Dr is trying to get me on some educational programme in the new year, depending on spaces, and has given me till April to improve my numbers by lifestyle changes. I've ordered a glucose monitor and a low carb cook book. Any other...
