[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1932661, member: 408573"] The 800 cpd diet excludes a growing group of people for whom weight loss to the extent needed by those who have a BMI >30 is innapropriate esp those of Asian/Far Asian descent. Much is said on the subject of losing excess weight, not so much is said on maintaining weight but nowt is said about the problem of maintaining or gaining weight. As Dr. Malhotra infers in the video upthread no one size fits all and while I applaud the NHS for this new approach (which now gives patients two options, the traditional pathway of drugs or the weight loss pathway (although GPs are now said to have been given the go ahead to prescribe the URL for this website it would be interesting to see what the provider numbers are)) I cannot but think that there is absolutely nothing new in this approach. Yes, Prof. Taylor has been instrumental in his research as to how the mechanism works and in developing the scan that can actually allow the progress to be mapped but ND still imo is based on CICO/2nd law of thermodynamics. One could argue if it works then don't knock it but for many it cannot work and for some it might prove a fruitless task. Edited to add. I do apologise but I overlooked bariatric surgery as an option but again this is not appropriate for some people. [/QUOTE]
