Cost

Some of you may be wondering "what does it cost to do this diet?"

How much is your health worth?

I have to use 4 shakes per day or 3 shakes and a chewee bar. The shakes come in packet form and are made up with water. Each shake packet costs £1.55 and bars cost £1.75 (the shakes come in various flavours including some hot soup type drinks)
Ladies under 5'8" only need 3 shakes or 2 shakes and a bar.

If I base the cost on 3 shakes and 1 bar each day this equates to £6.40 per day or £44.80 per week

This may sound like a lot of money compared to visiting weight watchers for £3.00 per week or something similar but... don't forget this diet does not have any additional food to buy. The grocery shopping will be drastically reduced only shopping for the kids (my wife is also doing the diet)
On top of that I would spend about £20 per week on buying lunch from the sandwich van at work plus the occasional takeaway. These little add ons coupled with the grocery shop savings probably make it cheaper to be on the diet than conventional eating
