Honestly- you'd be better off to lose the weight slowly, and in a sustainable way, without cutting out any major food groups. A good, balanced diet, with a constant deficit you can live with will help you far more, long term. If you're consistent, it'll pay off. If you'd like you can message me and I'll help any way I can!7

To be honest? My big tip is learn a sustainable way of eating you can maintain rather than doing a VLCD fad diet that clearly doesn't teach you to maintain a weight loss. And this is from someone who has done every fad and VLCD you can name, and finally saw the light, after many years of miserable yoyo-ing.
And I truly mean this in nothing but a helpful way.14 -
You're back on it, as in, you're not only doing it, you've done it before as well? Why??8

Don't follow a diet that doesnt work?
Look at sustainable lifestyle changes.11 -
Would suggest using your weight loss phase to create the habits that will help you maintain long term and avoid the yo-yo effect rather than seeing goal weight as an end point.
Could be worth you scanning some threads in the Maintaining Weight forum to see where others have done it right, fallen down, lessons learned, experiences....7 -
Get off of that diet.
Modest calorie deficit = sustainable weight loss.6 -
Why is it called 800? cals/day?1

So you lost weight then resumed eating normally and put it on again.....not a ringing endorsement for the program as it doesn't help you develop the habits to keep the weight off.11 -
This is how diet plans make money. You're put on a plan that will put you on many times a much higher deficit than needed, lose some weight and think that it's a "miracle" plan. Then gain weight back because it can't be sustained, then go back on that plan because of some previous "success".
Repeat buyers of plans are the mainstay of how many businesses stay in business, which is why they usually don't make plans that are sustainable to 90% of the people who do them.
EAT LESS THAN YOU BURN. That's really all there is to it.

Quite frankly most dieters gain back, not on just this diet but all diet plans0

What is your height and current weight, and activity level? Folks here will give you some pointers if they have that information. If you only need to lose 18lbs then there's no way that diet is appropriate. That's really the sort of thing for very obese people, preferably under medical supervision. If your doctor hasn't suggested it I wouldn't go there!
Btw, even that book talks about the post diet maintenance. You really do need to think about that. If you eat the way you always have why wouldn't you expect to end up right back where you always were?1 -

Why are you back on a diet that failed? Instead of temporary crash diets, look for some permanent changes. Changes that can help you lose weight AND keep it off.
I've done the yo-yo thing myself. Losing weight & regaining....isn't success.4 -
