[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 2302828, member: 100904"] Depending on the brand of meal replacement products used it is possible that they can be a low carb as well as low calorie diet. Some I have used have given a total of 45g carbs a day. What is often overlooked is that although not specifically mentioned in literature (though I haven’t checked for a while) is that the very low calorie / meal replacement diets are designed to induce ketosis. The initial methodology I used in 2011, (before Taylor et al had got beyond the initial research trial, but emulating the method they used with support of my GP) insisted that I achieve ketosis in first week. Also that throughout the calorie restricted phase I remain in ketosis. I believe that due to ketosis, after day 2 I did not feel hungry, deprived, or indeed any other negative feeling. I was exercising in swimming pool for at least an hour a day, sometimes more, and felt very well. I do think very low calorie diets have their place in the methods to treat T2 and / or obesity. What I take issue with is having a half baked plan to just give people free diet products for up to 12 weeks without adequate preparation or support, or follow on monitoring, and useful education. That is as necessary for the HCPs as for the patients. [/QUOTE]
