[QUOTE="sanjay230680, post: 468626, member: 93714"] Hi Guys, Sorry for jumping in. Raspin to sell a prescription only (even though it makes no sense for optifast to be a prescription only) is illegal in the UK due to the medicines act. As optifast won't be prescribed by my doc either I'm using the Atkins shakes as they are low in cal, fat, carb and sugar and protein normal. It's been 3 weeks since starting the Newcastle uni diet thing and have lost 7kg. I emailed the uni and found quorn can be used in the evening meal if anybody had questions over that by the way :) Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
