It was probably a difficult one for the coroner to make a judgement on.

Reading other LighterLife experiences, seems people heavier and lighter than the woman who passed away were successful in losing weight with no adverse problems.

Apparently the idea of LighterLife

"came from emergency food packs for disaster areas that contained the minimum calories needed to survive."  

 "We thought we could use that for dieters."

There are so many factors that come into play when the body and mind is in a disaster situation.  Using this to create a 'Diet' business sounds wrong!

How can anyone and/or organisation suggest 500cals a day is a good way to lose weight? The mind boggles?

Hi gi-jane, I too was surprised by "the drug reduces weight only slightly" sentence.

I guess the reduction in weight, is the money leaving the wallets and purses of people who buy the drug.  Wink

All now seems to be resolved with the CC nutritional grades. 

 

Hi Coreyander

Rest assured, the nutritional grades of CC, are not the be all and end all, of me monitoring what I eat.  Its just an additional 'extra'.

Not sure if there are other problems with CC today.

I came across this post relating to tags.

I don't use tags, so unable to confirm.
