I was at Fulham, that was better than usual, but I wasn't complaining about a non-football thread. The diversity of subject matter is one of the things I enjoy about CCMB.

Re: Slimming World

I used to work for a large company and they did health checks on you hearing eyesight general well being but I always thought it was info they kept to disprove a compensation claim.
I might be wrong.

It does seem a bit OTT. I have to do press-up tests; treadmill; bike; flexibility; some sort of lung capacity test; bloods, urine tests; this insanely complex sound test; eye tests; the good old cough-and-drop and they even check your balls. But it is quite good really. Gives me a chance to mention all of the little things you dont' normally bother going to see the GP about, and they are willing to check pretty much anything you mention.

It's not something you pass or fail and the results are entirely confidential. As far as I can tell they do it just to encourage us to look after our health.

I have to do this once per year as well, it’s one of the reasons I have to come home, I have a load of cardiac stuff during mine as well.

My firm has an on-site clinic purely for the purpose of doing staff medicals so I went there, but the person who does the medical is a doctor. And of course we discuss diet. I have to complete a fairly thorough questionnaire about what I eat, drink, how I sleep, stress levels, my exercise etc before I go and obviously last time they observed a significant drop in my weight and fat and wanted to understand it, so he was interested to discuss whether the weight had stayed off.

People have medicals. Mine was today.

Mmmm

He's a crank , trying to make money . Just because he's a doctor doesn't mean he's speaking for all of them

If this diet was safe the NHS would be all over it like a rash , just a quick Google will pull up lots of controversy

If you are an athlete or need to lose weight for an operation then this sort of diet may be helpful if it's monitored by a health professional but this sort of diet plan is being thrown around by the likes of you as something the general public can take up . It's clearly a highly restrictive crash diet .

You may have the motivation to put yourself through this sort of thing but its dodgy and most people will fail
