[QUOTE="Daphne917, post: 2354041, member: 124172"] I had similar issues to [USER=503862]@Ryhia[/USER] when I did the ‘ultra slim’ diet (similar to Newcastle and Slimfast etc) when I was in my 20s approx 40 years ago. At 800 cals per day it was vlc and I managed to lose just 7lb in about 2 months. However it made me very ill and when I finally went to my GP he told me to go home and have a good meal as my metabolism had gone into starvation mode and was beginning to ‘shut down’ my body. He sent me to an endocrinologist who said that I was one of his few patients who could truly blame their metabolism for their weight and gave me a stark choice - eat healthily and live or try to lose weight and be very ill or worse. I chose the former. I managed to lose some weight when I began taking Thyroxine for underactive thyroid about 10 years ago and low carbing for my T2 but I am still bigger than I’d like to be but I have managed to maintain my current weight.
