Hi, I don't usually post on here as I have had WLS but I wanted to share this with people as a warning. It is not the diet itself at fault, the poor lady took it to extremes thinking she was doing the right thing - she was not following the Lighterlife guidelines. So this is NOT meant to be criticising her choice of diet programme; that is not for me to judge!

I'd say this woman could have harmed herself with any so-called "diet" because she was obviously disturbed...  read this line:
"Mrs Henson drank four litres of water in less than two hours on November 14, which caused her brain to swell."

They also recommend less than 600 calories a DAY! My gosh.

Let's just have a bit of sense, shall we?

I read that on another forum I post on.  I dunno how she was able to drink 8 pints in under 2 hours, I struggled to drink that in a whole day on LL but it goes to show how desperate the poor woman must've been to get the weight off. :-(

Another Brit! Yes, I felt desperately sorry for the poor women - wanting to lose weight drives us to desperate measures but I am surprised that anyone would forget all that business about people dying after taking ecstasy, not from the drug but from drinking too much water.
