    For what it's worth I started Lighter Life earlier this week - which is a VLCD but not a medically supervised one.

    I am very overweight and a few days in I'm actually finding it pretty easy to stick to and the expectation is that I will do it till around Christmas, perhaps slightly after, so that I can aim to loose between 8-9 stone.

    Appreciate it's not everyones cup of tea but I've had a few friends who have done it that have seen great success and kept the majority of the weight off.

    I think LL is around 600 calories per day (4 food packs) and a lot of water.

    Be careful with Lighter Life. I have friends who have done it and they almost all went on to develop gallbladder problems - severe pain, one removal, one getting removed next week. Check with a doctor if you start experiencing pain.
