650 kal a day

[Differentstarts]

For 2 months iv been on a vlcd consuming 650 kcal a day and lost 2 stone - AMA

Thankyou I didn't know how to do links 🥰

I think it needs to be done on a specific plan as you won't get everything you need from regular food on that lower calories. Iv actually got more energy then iv ever had

From the NHS guidance on their diabetes soup and shake diet thingy... they do not endorse 650 calories a day... mainly because it's utter madness!

Thankyou and well done that is amazing 🥰

I don’t understand how that can possibly be only 650 calories. Cottage pie or spag Bol alone would be at least 500

Chemotherapy "is a thing" approved by the NHS but doesn't mean most people should be getting it. This is to reverse diabetes. it is a better bet than type 2 diabetes, It doesn't mean it is safe or healthy if you don't have diabetes.

Chemotherapy reverses cancer but can leave you with permanent disabilities and health problems. It is a better bet than cancer. But isn't safe or healthy to take if you don't have cancer

The diet I'm on is 500-800 kcal a day but I would say on average I have 650 as that is the products I prefer a vlcd is anything upto 800 kcal a day

I guarantee you I would of had type 2 diabetes within the next year if I carried on the way was

Why and who are you paying to eat 650kcals per day ?

@Grumpy12345 it's a packet
Like a shake can be "chocolate brownie" but it's not an actual brownie
So portion controlled

Why because drs where telling me to lose weight and where about to put me on statins and up my bisoprolol if I didn't. The plan is the new you plan

You're eating no fruit or veg?
Your food intake is basically upf in packets I'm guessing? 😳

Yes, but it's 12 weeks out of my whole life which will hopefully be longer if I lose weight

It's not actual food

That's amazing!
Well done.

But why pay ? Why not do MM's 5:2 diet ? As other's have said all those UPFs and no fresh food can't be good for you.

The 'nutritional' info on the website shows most of the meals/snacks are around 130kcals, and the main meals are up to 200kcals. OP - you'll lose weight ... and your health. Don't do this for long. You're eating crap. Love your body more and treat it better.

Thankyou so much 💓

Omg! This is not true!

That doesn't sound like very healthy food, @Differentstarts
I was imagining you eating plenty of green veg and healthy stuff rather than packet ''Diet'' stuff.

I intend to do these normal diets after the 12 weeks this is just a kickstart

It's only 12 weeks iv already done 8 weeks

Eggs registering a famine??

What a load of ''bro science!''

It's just a kick-start on a very long journey of salad and veg

@Differentstarts Are you happy to share how much you weighed prior to starting this diet and what sort of food you ate in an average day ? You did say AMA
