[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2290932, member: 196898"] As one who has sustained an LC meal plan for over 5 years now, I agree. I look on these 8 week blood sugar and meal replacement diets as being diets that one can turn to as a last resort when there are few or any options left in the toolkit. I liken it to an emergency stop in the car, or the reset button on the computer. From what I have seen so far they are a viable tool and do produce good results, but there is a growing database of anecdotal evidence that shows that the effects do wear off in time and the changes are rarely permanent. To my mind it has the same therapeutic efficacy as a laxative or purgative. An enema is faster acting and cheaper (usually) But I fear it points to the future where we are encouraged to eat prepared replacement meals that have to be manufactured and fortified with 'goodness' to make them healthy so we get our 5 a day in tablet form. We are already doing this for breads and grain products, and replacement milk products, and fake meat products, so lets go whole hog (omitting the hog of course) and do away with the need for a kitchen or those dangerous culinary knife sets so life becomes so much safer and saves so much waste from landfill and the oceans. Simples. It worked for astronauts after all. Breakfast in a toothpaste tube etx. [/QUOTE]
