Try the Cabbage Soup Diet. I guarantee you will spend weeks alone in the spare room.

Re: diets
 

What was the one that all the celebs was on recently. The one where you eat nothing but meat. Utter arse-breath ensued.

Re: diets
 

Atkins diet.

End up looking like a smelly arse too.

Re: diets
 

So anyway Tony, explain your need for the diet question....

...packing it on?
...looking in the mirror and thinking 'that arse can't be all mine'?
...know the old 'my clothes are shrinking in the wash' routine won't last another time?
...can't see your feet?
...lost your widget?

Come share. You are amongst friends:)

Isn't that the one which is basically cut your calories to dangerously low levels and then build it up from there?

Makes me laugh when the cite the success stories - I lost 432 kg all thanks to the miracle of not eating fried lard, cakes and takeaways and eating stupidly low calorie intakes! Amazing stuff. Who would have thought and definitely worth the $34,321 in fees, supplements and support for the secret to be yours!

Next they will be inventing exercise and balanced eating. Exciting times we live in I tell you.

Re: diets
 

Best diet I have ever been on is the 'Scarsdale medical Diet' kind of a forerunner to Atkins but not as harsh or radical. You eat fruit and veg just not masses of carb's. i think as diets go its pretty healthy and you def. don't feel hungry. For those of us that like quick results I lost 14lbs in two weeks and it stayed off until 10 years and two kids later it all went to pot!

My mate recently lost 10lbs in two weeks. you don't have to be majorly large to loose weight on it, I never was just a bit heavier than I should have been.

When I can motivate myself to be arsed then, the book is ready and waiting!

Hi Tony,

I would recommend System10...I lost 5 stone in 24 weeks. I have kept it off for over a year and went from a size 20 to size 6/8 :thumbsup: You eat 5 times a day and the diet didn't constist of anything I wouldn't eat. The website is www.system10.eu. One the left of their homepage there is "helena doolan's success story", thats me with photo's. I lost another stone after the "after photo" was taken put I am sure you will see the hugh difference :thumbsup: Good luck

Helena

I did the Cambridge diet when I was 17. I lost about a stone (thats all I needed to back then!) and got down to about 7 stone 12 which is about what I should be for my pathetic 5ft height :lol: However, I am convinced it completely screwed up my body in terms of metabolism. Now that isn't coming from a bitter fatty just somebody who knows their body and their attitude to food changed after that experience.

Lose weight slowly and healthily with a varied balanced diet combined with exercise and I still believe this is the best way.

Re: diets
 

I did exactly the same in the 80s with yoyo dieting. If I wanted to lose half a stone in a week (because at 5'7" I was grossly overweight at 8 and a half stone :rolleyes: ) I would live on Slimfast, and now my metabolism is shafted. These type of diets are often very low fat (and your body does need GOOD fats) and high in sugar and other chemical-laden sweeteners. (Sugar is far more evil than fat.)

I also think that's where my osteoporosis started; hindsight's a wonderful thing. :lol:

If you want to lose weight healthily, and long-term, a "diet" is for life. It's not a quick fix; it's how you eat. We may have known no better in the 80s but we do now.

Atkins went too far, but some of his principles were good. When you analyse them, a lot of the fashionable diets have the same basics - look up Patrick Holford, maybe buy his "Optimum Nutrition Bible" and eat healthily, with good carbs, not no carbs.

Oh and exercise.

thanks everyonexx

Re: diets
 

Did you watch "size 0"? with Louise rednapp.

Her doctor said that when someone looses alot of weight, they lose muscle mass too.
So if they did put weight back on, they would just put fat on, without gaining back the muscle, leaving body flabbier and heavier.
So that's why most diets don't work after a while, cause we normally end up back the way we were or even heavier...and this is why!

Re: diets
 

Agree and thats because people confuse weight when they should be considering body fat percentages instead, with the aim of reducing % of fat and changing body composition. Very low calorie diets simply do not work in the long run because they don't allow the body to burn the fat, instead it resorts to muscle mass first.

Its a strange concept but a person should make sure they eat often, well, and a balanced diet to ensure metabolism does its thing. Otherwise you will loose weight off the scales but still have your nice love handles.

I see clients regularly not eating enough to support weight loss and as for those stupid shake diets and very low calorie diets its really just obscene that people can charge for advice in the form of a diet and dodgy supplements with usually poor quality bioavailability of nutrients.

Ultimately there is no substitute to a planned diet and excerise. People don't want to here that nowadays and would rather believe the shit that the adverts pump out and just go from fat to weighing less and fat and back up again.

God I just read my previous post - sorry, I do bang on about it :rolleyes: but please learn from my mistakes.

I saw the programme, Nu-Shooz. She looked terrible when she finished.
