Those are the exact same warnings that come with ketosis in the Cambridge VLCD. I followed that for 9 months years ago and never lost any extra hair, still have a full head of hair at 59 now. Only loss of teeth has been through a couple of motorcycle accidents plus a rip off dentist For the last time my job is sedentary,…

VLCD like Cambridge Diet is 800 calories per day in UK, don’t know if it differs where you are. I put all the info in to MFP like sedentary lifestyle and it quotes 1600, will 200 less hurt me more than 800 extra, I shouldn’t think so. If I do feel overtired and hungry after 4 weeks then I will look to change things, I’m…

Hi yarwell, My protein seems to come mainly from chicken breast fillet and the 200ml of milk I use with my tea, also a little protein from all bran, 1 jacket potato daily and 1 mini-packet of oat fiber crackers. Carbs wise I have cut out my wheat bread (just eat a handful of dry all-bran instead), I have the 1 potato,…

thanks chris1816 for your reply, From what I can see in my food diary, the fats are coming from the milk I add to tea and porridge oats, chicken breast fillet (no skin), and sometimes nibble on some oat fiber crackers if feeling hungry. I also take a Triple Omega 3-6-9 120mg supplement and with my porridge oats I add a…
