I lost 10kg and then fell PG with Pie so had to stop.. I put it all back on, and then some. I'm thinking about doing it again for a kickstart, but tehre is no way I will be able to do it long term, it is far too restrictive.

Also, if you read the nutritional information on the shake packet, they are not all that great... your daily intake of carbs (which you get from the shakes) is mostly sugar. I'm pretty sure there are Noodle Box meals that are actually lower in fat, sugar and have about the same carb content.

It works because it is so strict - by restricting your options, you don't have so much room to slip up - but that's what makes it so hard long term.
