[QUOTE="evensteve, post: 248589, member: 41497"] Immis: Thanks. Yes, I thought that was the reasoning, but I would like maybe one of the diet architects to give a full explanation of each of the choices and restructions, and the reasoning behind each. I also suspect that the reason for Optifast was used was that it is approved for use in bariatric diets, and the additional nutrients makes it safe for longer term use that the 8 week period. I substitued lean ham, turkey breast, tuna and whey protien for the protien part. (I have only seen the 'official' version since finishing my own 8 weeks at 600 calories). I am also interested in making the diet more accessible and appealing to others, by introducing a wider element of variety and alternatives, for those who need more choice, or for those who are put off by not being able to obtain or afford the Optifast, or who view its current format as unsafe. Thank you Geordie and others for opening this topic up. It is by far the brightest ray of hope that I have read since being diagnosed t2 last October. :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
