Very Low Calorie Diet CLKD.
Yes I was pretty amazed too, I've been googling and it seems to follow. I think the trouble with the GP's at my surgery is that they are so stretched they really don't want to talk about menopause stuff they just want to prescribe and get you out of the door.
They obviously take more time if you've got a serious illness but economise on time with issues they don't see as important, as far as he's concerned I've lost the weight, my blood pressure is normal and I have reduced the risk of illness - I got the impression he didn't want to have a general discussion about menopause.
Anyway after a week on a higher dose I'm ok symptom wise again. Now to get cracking on exercise (yuck)
