[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 2395722, member: 100904"] During my original Very Low Calorie Diet,10 years ago, My GP contacted the Newcastle University team, as Optifast was not available to purchase. The recommendation from the Newcastle guys then was that any brand of shakes would be ok. We chose to use Lipotrim. This is a Total Food Replacement diet. I lost a lot of weight and within days was seeing a return to non-diabetes blood glucose levels. Later, around 5 years ago, following a period of immobility, and hospital food, weight gain, I used meal replacement shakes from Shake That Weight. Chosen because I had checked the carbohydrate content, and these provided 50g of carbs a day. I wanted to remain on low carb diet. Not making any particular recommendations. Other members have used supermarket own brands. What I would recommend is that anyone embarking on this method seeks advice from GP, especially if on medication. Also, although I believe the NHS approves of Very Low Calorie Diets in some circumstances, many GPs are not up to date with the methodology, so I would read and print the info from the Newcastle University study to share and discuss with GP or nurse.
