Yep. Lots of people on nhs have to do it before getting surgery. You'll need willpower of steel though oh and a passion for milk!

Thank you!!

My hospital insisted that you did it for a month to lose 5% of your weight, it was to show that you could stick with the program of eating, there are a lot of us from Luton and Dunstable hospital who have been through the 4 week milk diet!!

The main problem with the milk diet for me was constipation, you must guard against that or it'll end in tears, take laxatives religiously unless milk causes the opposite!!!

If we did not do the 5% we were given an extra three weeks to continue with the loss and then you would be off the program If you stuck to the milk diet you could easily achieve the 5%.

The second time was much much harder the weight loss wasn't as good and a week into it they allowed me to swap to the low cal, high protein version as I was bunged up again.

Good luck, just stick to the rules your team have set to be in with the best chance.
