That sounds like my diet, Medifast. It was actually meant for obese people who needed treatment but were too heavy for it. It is a very quick weight loss. The transition and maintenance are the really hard parts, I think. I'll have to add in one thing at a time, like fruits, etc., etc. to see what I can eat to maintain the weight loss.
I really don't believe in this kind of crash diet. They say it will become a way of life, but that just make sense to me! It's also not really healthy to lose more than 1 to 2 pounds/week. 800 cal./day is insanity!
What I'm hoping for is that getting to a goal weight, I'll be motivated to keep it somewhere in that vicinity. I can use their techniques, plus my WW knowledge, and see what happens.
I went to my doctor yesterday for my blood pressure, etc., and he feels it's fine. I told him I'm really tired. He said my body is being stressed by the rapid weight loss, but not to worry about it. I'll be fine, and the weight loss is really a good stressor.
Gotta go drink my breakfast shake!
