They did an assessment and said you can do it.I was asked to buy the shakes and started the journey.As soon as i started it i hated the shakes as they were too sweet and soups tasted of corn flour more than anything else so gave up on it and doing my own low starch vegetables soup i make and salads.I dont think i am getting anywhere close to 800 cals as i was doing one meal a day before going on the diet.4 weeks in bp was already stable and still looks good.Lost 9.2 kilos and lost 10 cms around my waist.Just not sure about when to stop.I was 85 kilos when i started and as per nhs its 12 week plan but the rate at which i am loosing i should hit 15 percent weight loss by week 6 or 7 unless i hit plateau.Gp isnt really monitoring just asks me to submit my sugars bp and weight for fist time last week since starting the diet.I have added a little bit of protein from yesterday as all i was having was vegetables in form of soup, salad and stir fries.I also got the 8 week blood sugar diet book.Thanks for reading the posts.</blockquote>
