Thanks so much Craig. You've been very clear with your explanation. It may be that this is a very good way to get a person started on a weight loss program. It's gratifying to see it come off so fast, and makes sticking with something easier to do when you see 'instant' results. And if you throw in the exercise later, and a good change in eating habits, it seems like a winning combination.
Samala, Renee -------Original Message------- Because this is a very low calorie diet, the exercise is begun after the VLCD phase ends. There isn't enough protein to support that, unless you have been an exercise person before you started. She uses a treadmill and I like the rebounder.
