meal replacement diets

Hi there in one year I have put on nearly 4 stone I put this down to my lack of movement lack of exercise and one of the side affects to my meds is over eating so I have put on a lot of weight I’m the heaviest I have ever been . I tried calorie counting which I find it hard to stick to I was recommended a meal replacement diet done via my local pharmacy so only the pharmacy can order it in for you and they monitor you . I have explained that I will weight my self weekly and let them know as I would struggle to go to the pharmacy each week to be weighed . It’s quite a extreme diet 3 shakes a day no food your allowed to drink water and herbal teas . I plan on doing it for a month .
Has any one else done any sort of diet like this was it hard ? Did you get good results . I would really like it if you could all cheer me on ha I’m gonna need to the encouragement.

I did the cambridge diet years ago which is similar but there was shakes or soup or bars you could have
I did lose weight and my mum lost a lot
It was hard and I gave up as they started to make me vomit
One downside to it was as soon as started to eat again all weight piled back on
My advice is you have yo change your eating habits it's not a short term diet that works
Eat healthily and lose weight slowly
Maybe your gp can refer you to dietician or they run a weight loss programme
i hope so .
Ideally I would like to loose 6 stone but I want to start on loosing 4 stone im
hoping this will give me a kick start and I’ll be Able to
update you all let you know how I’m getting on .
