The problem I found with dieting is the discipline of the day in/day out routine and generally I found dieting pretty boring so tended to give up after a week or two. Then, via a link on this site(amazing what you can find on a football website!!) I discovered The Fast Diet otherwise known as the 5/2 Diet. This involves eating a max 600 calories on two days(500 for women) and then you can eat normally for the other 5 days.

All I can say is that it works for me and I have been doing it for around 4 years with the odd break for holidays and Christmas etc.

It also has health benefits as it was first developed for women with cancer and for people with diabetes. I found that my allergic asthma has improved to the extent where I rarely now use my inhaler.
