To do a meal replacement diet?

[tigerandcub]

This is after many failed attempts at SW, WW, eating healthily, have failed!

I need a kick up the bum and I think a drastic diet is what I need.

YANBU, but keeping it off is the real hard work!

I lost 4 stone on one last year and have kept it off, gone from a size 24 to a size 12, now eat low carb food, except for breakfast where I have porridge, chicken or ham and salad at lunch and any form of protein, eg cheese, omelete, chicken, fish and veg but no rice, potatoes, pasta, bread and its stayed off, good luck, it can work and it works fast

I did exante and used it as a transition to a keto diet. I started in April, lost the weight, and kept it off until the last few weeks when I've been poorly / eating all the (mince) pies.
I think it depends on you and what you can do.

Try reading The Complete Guide to Fasting by Dr Jason fung. He complains why cutting calories doesn't lead to sustainable weightloss. He says fasting is the answer, as it changes the way your body reacts to insulin. I've done a few 24 fasts, it's not as bad as you think.

Diets like Cambridge are a veiled Multi Level Marketing scheme. I was very close to someone who became a consultant and the level of promoting and social media etc that they are brainwashed into doing is unbelievable. It's of a similar level to Forever Living. She's now at the stage where she's recruiting consultants which of course is the aim of the plan, not to help people lose weight.

As soon as she starts eating actual food again, the weight piles back on, it's absurd. She was also rushed to hospital with severe gallstones because the weight loss is very unhealthy.

If you don't mind being scammed, and are prepared to live on shakes and shitty powdered food for the rest of your life, go for it.

Yes.

OP if you do want to do one, I recommend slim and save as it definitely isn't a MLM.
