    Seems to me from what I read online this is a very expensive way to simply cut calories..... I really don't see the benefit of spending that much money when you could simply buy healthy food and stay within the same range of calories. I have not seen many people on MFP who use or recommend anything other than making healthy life style changes. After all so often times people refer to "being on a diet" when in reality our diet.... is whatever we eat. I personally do not consider myself to be dieting... rather I have made a commitment to myself to change the way I look and feel, I don't anticipate losing the weight simply to go back to my former eating habits... obviously that wasn't working so well for me. Good luck to you though.

    Hi I am doing SS+ Basically the CWP is a VLCD and it has all of your vitamins and minerals, I have seen so many people lose large amounts of weight on the diet, I think its important to remember that if you go back to eating the way you did before starting then you will of course put on all the weight plus some back on. I have lost 2 stone so far, if you stick to the plan you will lose 1 stone 14 pounds a month. Its important to work up the steps. Good luck!

    I've been doing the CWP since March and lost 6 stone. It works for me as I don't have to think about it, having tried every plan under the sun and both my Doctor and Dietician agreeing that my issue wasn't will power it was the various plans that were the issue. My Doctor signed me off to do this due to a few health issues and she told me it was more important to lose the weight than how I did it. I've still got a couple of stone to go but already my councillor and I have started to discuss how I'm going to maintain my weight when I get to goal. The simple fact is you have to change your diet or you will gain the weight back if you return to old habits. I can't remember the last time I was the weight I am now but I know it was a very long time ago and I'm loving the confidence that I gain with each lb lost.

    The CWP can work but you have to be as disciplined and prepared to work at maintenance as you were at losing it.
