Type 2 diabetes: NHS to offer 800-calorie diet treatment
Losing a lot of weight with very low calorie diets is hard, but not regaining it over the next couple of years is next to impossible.<p>Your body will try all the tricks in the book, it will reduce your metabolism to way below that of the person of the same weight, it will amp up your hunger hormones so much that you will think and dream about food 24/7.<p>Only 5 to 7% of people that lose a large amount weight are able to keep it off successfully in the medium and long term. Hope there is more research into this mechanism.
