Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oldvatr" data-source="post: 2525072" data-attributes="member: 196898">If the choice were mine, I would plump for the diet.  The shakes are in essence both Low Calorie and Low Carb at the same time.  Do the 12 weeks and then make the decision on whethee to continue the NHS route, or follow a LCHF type of path instead.  The NHS one will be low fat medium carb and progress to Eatwell the nutrition standard used by the NHS.  Then you will put the weight back on again. Rinse and repeat.  As a matter of interest., the latest incarnation of the original Newcastle diet is now a twin cycle in succession, so they accept it needs to be repeated.The shakes will also be low fat, so you will not benefit from the saiety aspect of the healthy fats, and so it will be a struggle.  The beauty of LCHF is that it adds the healthy fats and is IMHO more sustainable and enjoyable in the longer term.  However, the low calorie shakes based diet is fairly successful as a short sharp shock crash diet that does help with T2D and its safe as a short term treatment.  And you can stop it anytime.</blockquote>
