Fortisip versus fat fast?

Question
I am 124 kgs and want to lose weight by having just one fortisip a day. I see this as more practical than starving myself on nothing. Would this work or does fortisip like this make you fat? I continue with what the dietician has told me but with my weight increasing and it is difficult to sallow I am not sure what to do. The only other thing I thought of was if fortisip is not enough like this then puree food?

Answer
Dear Helen,

Indeed, Fortisip is made for people having the swallowing problem, but its general purpose doesn't seem to include weight loss. It's calorie-dense (300 Kcal a cup) and calorie density doesn't help controlling appetite so unless you have an extraordinary willpower, it'll make you hungry or you'll be overeating. Plus, its very carbohydrate-dense, which makes it even less suitable for losing weight.

In my experience, there's a good alternative: green tea-and-cream fat fast plan to switch your metabolism to the fat burning mode. It's less balanced than special nutritional formulas but adding basic vitamins makes it safe to be on for a few weeks, then you hopefully become strong enough for a better low carb plan. Our dieters never complained about being hungry and their energy level dramatically increased.
