[QUOTE="srobertson06, post: 1811913, member: 169182"] I felt the programme did imply that every type 2 diabetic has done this to themselves - that being overweight is the only reason. 800 calories a day is a really daunting thought to achieve - with or without medical support and I do not see my doctors being able to offer the support. I will watch more episodes because they are re-introducing foods in the next programme. The dead body did seem excessive - but it's TV and I guess they were out to scare. The programme filled me with a degree of fear - if that is what you have to do and I cannot then am I doomed. Sorry I continue to struggle with my weight - I have lost weight and a lot of it (4 stone at the highest point) gained a little of it back and still trying to get back on track - Low Carb is what I aim for and I struggle - doctors review coming up in a few days following blood tests and a repeat of one of the blood tests - don't really know what to expect when I go there. I have a stressful job and having tried to find better ways to manage it and having failed now going for a complete lifestyle change - moving to another part of the country - becoming mortgage free and hoping to find a little job to give me a bit of money coming in to tide me over until retirement if I get that far............. So here's to the future - I don't think I will be trying to live on shakes for weeks if not months - for those that had not quite reached the goal they were informed they needed to continue - it came across as almost a punishment.
