I found the article it was in a Womans Own that my sister gave me to read on the plane last year

this woman lost 9sts in 9 months eating meal replacement packs consisting of breakfast bars, milkshakes and soups she even took 63 packs with her to Hawaii for a holiday which was a reward for losing 7sts from her hubby

when she got back home she had lost another stone during that 3 week holiday.She paid 45 pounds per week and at her first therapy session the leader asked "Does anyone have a problem with leftovers?" one woman nodded and talked about how she ate all the waste food in her house.Slowly other people began to open up. Many also admitted that they hid food around the house-the classic sign of an addict. It was a revelation that they all had the same behaviour patterns and she realised she was a foodaholic. She has now finished with the food replacement packs and is on a low fat maintenance program. The plan GUARANTEED a weight loss of a stone a month.

I suppose this would be OK if you wanted quick results and could stick with it but you could do the same on your own with Slimfast or other brands out there

i suppose the therapy is a big factor to consider especially if they really get to the root of your problem and help with that and according to this they are all fully trained practitioners who practice something called CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which uncovers the thoughts, feelings and actions that led to the weight gain in the first place. So, there you go Pippie

i hope this helps you make a decision it certainly worked for this girl
