A lot of these posts seem old, wondering if anyone is still active in this discussion?
Hello, my name is Katie, and I am starting New Directions VLCD 800 today. My primary motive is avoiding recurrence of a rare cancer I had 3 years ago. Body fat converts to estrogen, and my cancer is estrogen-fed. After a cancer-free scan, I blissfully returned to a non-exercising, junk-food dependent life (ice cream is my…
I have some friends interested in the ND program. Is anyone doing the program in Alabama or New Hamshire? Or do you know of programs in these states? I suggested they fill out the Find a Clinic form on the Robard site but figured it couldn't hurt to ask here too. Thanks!
I'm a newbie here - just started on Thursday. It's been okay so far. I've discovered already a few flavors I love, and one that I don't. My clinic's plan allows for 5 shakes per day for men - so that's what I am doing. Excited about this, because my brother has lost 80 lbs on a (different) medically supervised VLCD and…
Hello all, My name is Rachelle and I just started the program, I am on the 800 calorie a day VLCD. I am 19, and I am hoping to lose around 50lbs. I am somewhat anxious.... doesn't seem like I will actually LOSE weight this fast. I can't feel a difference as of now. (I suppose because it has been a little over 24 hours.) I…

Hey Ladies - my nutrition center provided recipes which I ignored until last week. Just curious if you have recipes for chicken chips, pizza and cookies? If not, I will certainly share!!!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :heart:
I just started yesterday and I haven't cheated so far. I have about 65 lbs that I need to lose. I have read a lot of the threads and I see that a lot of people are solely on shakes. My dr said I could do two replacement meals and a regular dinner (3-4 oz meat and cup of veggies) and a snack like nuts or two eggs. I'm super…
I have: 2 boxes of Strawberry, 2 boxes of Pineapple Apricot, 1 box of Chocolate pudding, 1 box of vanilla pudding, and 1 box of Chicken soup. I didn't like those flavors. I have fallen back to just the chocolate and vanilla (with and without fiber). Let me know if you are interested in trading with me or buying my extras.
Ive been on New Directions plan for 7 months last week. I've lost 100 pounds with them and I feel great! I dropped from a size 3x 24/26 to a XL 16-ish. With all that success, I had to make some tough decisions for my family and myself. I left my ND weight loss clinic last week because the cost was a burden and we're…
