You could be right, but why do you think this? No need to answer this though, as I know the drill!!!! All the best!
Everyone has to make the decision for themselves, but here is my thought. The original plan works if you stick to it. I've lost 56lbs since April. Even it is low calorie to the point that verges on unhealthy and it will be very hard to maintain the weight loss. We see people on this forum every day that have gained it all back and more. I attribute some of this to the metabolism slow down of the original diet. I have lost a ton of hair and a ton of energy due to the original diet. So, it's already extremely restrictive. Any diet that would require me to eat less and not exercise is for me, unreasonable. These are not healthy habits that stick for life.
I certainly don't judge anyone for wanting a quick way to lose weight. I have been there and I am there. I am just not willing to compromise my health any more than I actually am. Crash diets (of which, honestly, I think MRC is) don't have long term success and I soooo don't want to do this again. So, again, make the best decision for yourself. I would just encourage people to be honest about how they have lost weight and gained it in the past before plunking down a ton of money and their health to an untested (long term) and quick fix. As far as a reference, I refer you to the mayo clinic website (which I was told my my doctor is the very best site for obtaining true, accurate medical information). Just type in the magic combination of letters that I cannot mention on this post, and you will see what the mayo clinic thinks about it. That, plus my own common sense, precludes me from using it.
Sorry you asked??!! Good luck and my very best wishes to you in your weight loss journey! I hope you find the success you're looking for!!
