Anyone still active in this group?
A lot of these posts seem old, wondering if anyone is still active in this discussion?
Looking for education and information
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…
Anyone doing the New Directions program in these states?
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!
Hello from Maine
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…

Just started!
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…
Anyone interested in trading flavors or buying some of the flavors I don't like?
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.
Update - 7 months on program
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…
