They serve no purpose whatsoever except to the individuals involved, as the biggest UK diabetes forum it turns my blood cold that newbies may consider this a serious option, even worse is that HCP may be viewing the forum and shaking their heads in disbelief that these threads are drawing so much attention.
Thus spake Nigel.
So, Nigel. Did you read the report? Or are you spouting from a place of ignorance?
Yet another aggressive post from Kenny, I found Nigels post far from ignorant actually and agree with it as well (for the record).
Fergus if everyone is entitled to an opinion then surely Nigel is allowed to express his whether anyone agrees with it or not it is an opinion.
I actually believe these threads are dangerous and should be removed for that reason alone, crash diets DO NOT WORK in the long term that has been proven without exception time and time again I did it myself in the 80's with one of these shakes diets, lost loads of weight and put it straight back on plus a bit more because I failed to change my eating and drinking habits afterwards and its lifestyle changes that result in long term weight loss. As for the organ fat reduction that is still open to investigation as no long term studies have been done.
We have already read a very sad post from WhitbyJet concerning the tragic death of a neighbour which was due to this type of ridiculous diet and even Diabetes UK who funded the research have stated that this diet should not be undertaken without medical supervision, I think that says it all and as Nigel I think it is irresponsible to allow these threads to stay.

Opinions, everyone has one and thats mine and I care not whether you agree with it or not.
