[QUOTE="zand, post: 1106471, member: 85197"] Whilst I agree with you wholeheartedly about following the ND properly, many of us don't have any choice but to do 'our own versions' . The real ND used Optifast which is only available on prescription. To me, other meal replacements just aren't the same, so if you can't get Optifast, then any other alternative will be 'our own version.' When I did mine, the ND was called a '600 cal' diet back then, so that's what I did. Real food, no cheating at all. If I had 610 calories one day then the next day was 590. If I had known it was really 800 calories then that's what I would have done, but there was very little on the internet about it back then, I only found a couple of short paragraphs about it. I do have visceral fat, and I did continue to watch what I ate after the low cal phase, but the method still didn't work for me. If I could do the real ND, then I would, but it's not an option for me. I think it's a bit of a 'cop out' to say that those of us for whom the diet didn't work weren't doing it properly. Maybe Professor Taylor cherry picked the people in his studies too. [/QUOTE]
