Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sue192" data-source="post: 1639696" data-attributes="member: 439516">Your second paragraph sums up exactly how I feel about the message being given by the press about the Newcastle Diet.    Sloppy journalism, quick 'soundbites' and that subliminal message:  'it's your fault because you can't stop stuffing yourself'.    It's not the ND, it's the perception of it by the general public, fostered by said journalism (although I hesitate to give it that name).    This of course is not the fault of Prof Taylor and others connected with the regime.I am so pleased to read of people's success on this forum, by whichever means it takes and which suits them, so a big well done and a hug to [USER=402985]@Fleegle[/USER].    I do have misgivings about post-ND:  years ago I did a VLCD with a friend - she lost a ton of weight (I lost just under a couple of stone, which suited me) but she struggled a great deal after she had got to goal weight because the support was not there and she became very depressed and the weight piled back on.  It also completely mucked up her metabolism - I can relate to what [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] said about this.  I realise that this was a very different situation from the use of the Newcastle Diet, but I would like to know if there is post-diet support for those who have been successful or not on ND, as it seems to me a vital part of the process.</blockquote>
