Anyone found anything that works well? Need to try and lose weight but I find if I'm not ultra-strict then I can't do it. Falling back into the trap of excusing alcohol and takeaways And I get servere headaches if I do push through.
Let's all just be fat?
I find diets useless for me, I stick to them for a while loose lots of weight and then eventually break and put it all back on.
best things for me personally is a high energy breakfast and a jog before work, then I am in a good place all day and do not make stupid decisions.
Only drink water in the week is also a good one, no coffee, tea, fizzy drinks ect
then a few pints on the weekend allowed only for socialising
i did slimming world for 10 months. lost six stone.
when in the groove i was drinking whisky n pepsi max most nights but in moderation. ate breakfast, lunch and tea everyday with a few beers on a saturday.
completely cut out pizza, crisps, and almost all chocolate. no chinese takeaways but did have a lamb rogan josh with boiled rice every couple of weeks.
my daily diet was something like
breakfast: weetabix, black coffee and melon.
Lunch: tesco medium fish sushi or a salad or a subway sandwich with lots of salad
tea: roast salmon, a steak, pork chops or home made chilli (protein) with roasted peppers and courgettes.
Snacks: ham, melon (fruit) or crab sticks
Treats. A few single whiskey's with pepsi max, maybe a packet of quavers
Went for it week after week losing 2 - 3 lbs everytime. Won slimmer of the week for almost five months in a row. Lost 6st 2lb.
Last 18 months I've been spiraling and being 'naughty' so have put some weight back on. i drink too much beer and have brought the takeaways and processed food back into my diet. but I think a three month focus will drop it off again.
Go for it. Lose the weight, you feel so much better. Then you can have the treats and enjoy them while feeling great.
good effort ! Ive been doing slimming world for a while , lost 3 stone but I find it hard when nights out and other social events get in the way, important to plan your meals I think and stick to it.Originally Posted by Michael Morris
In 22 days I've lost 11 lbs from working seven days a week, 10 hours a day, renovating a house. I feel like shit and can't wait to get back up to 225 lbs, my normal bodyweight.

Let's all just be fat?I've been taking it and dieting for the last ten weeks, I've lost 34lbs so far, I take it with my cup of tea in the morning and I don't feel like eating all day tbh, it's good for loads of other reasons too, I feel so much healthier since I've been taking it.

Have you read any of the studies in the links I posted? there are 1500 on one of them, I have, loads and loads of them, especially ones related to my own health and the ones on medium-chain triglycerides, I'm quite confident I'm not damaging my health, I feel great.Oops, I've mixed up teaspoons and tablespoons.
2 dessert spoons is 4 teaspoons.
Regardless of that, there is a misconception that coconut oil contains "healthy" fats. It is mainly saturated fat. It will raise LDL levels, and not the HDL levels.
Why not try avocado oil instead, or peanut or soybean oil? Peanut oil is cholesterol free.
"Research is changing all the time". How can that fill anyone with confidence?
Is the British Journal of Sports Medicine pseudoscience?
Dietary fat guidelines have no evidence base: where next for public health nutritional advice?
http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/51/10/769
"Conclusions Dietary fat guidelines have prevailed for almost 40 years. The evidence base at the time of their introduction has been examined for the first time and found lacking. Evidence currently available provides no additional support. Public health opinion differed when the guidelines were introduced. Opposition to the guidelines is becoming more strident. Substantial increases in diet-related illness over the past four decades, particularly obesity and type 2 diabetes, indicate that a review of dietary advice is warranted."
Yes that's what I do, sounds a bit gross but it's not badyou can add it to other things if you don't fancy that, there are loads of different recipes for home made energy bars ect if you google it.
A few of my friends do the keto diet. It seems like a lot of effort, but I tried some of their food this weekend, like the pizza and it was amazing. (pizza "dough" made out of cheese) Three of them shed 17, 30 and 50lbs respectively. One of them was borderline diabetic and is now perfectly healthy.
I'm not on that one but I've read coconut oil is great for the Ketogenic Diet.
"Coconut oil is great for weight loss and should be a part of every low-carb, ketogenic diet. It increases energy expenditure and helps you burn more fat. Coconut oil is also known to reduce hunger cravings and keep you fuller for longer. Not only it will help you lose weight, but it's been shown to reduce the dangerous fat in your abdominal area, also known as visceral fat."

I went from obese (according to BMI) to a normal weight by calorie counting,
I basically ate the same thing every day. Pineapple for breakfast, Melon and a chicken sandwich for lunch. Pasta for dinner. Didn't eat after 8. Rarely felt hungry once I lost some weight.
Your headaches will probably subside - I had the same thing and assumed it was down to my "refined sugar cold turkey".
Cook your own meals, avoid processed foods, drink plenty of water. If you need to snack - pick some vegetables.
For exercise, I would just walk for an hour every evening.
First 2 weeks was tough, I was constantly hungry, but now I only feel hungry at mealtimes.
I used a Nutracheck app, and a weighing scales that produced all sorts of graphs on my phone.
Atkins is horrible but you get results. Quickly.
In fact, don't people lose over a stone on average just through water weight in the first week?.
Diets don't work. You almost always put the weight back on even if it is successful to begin with. Only a permanent change in eating, drinking and exercise habits can change things.... That... or gallstones!
This is unfortunately true.
I remember a prog on TV ages ago,they used this analogy -
as you eat, the body stores the food types (protein, carbs, fat) in "pockets".
When all the pockets were full, the body creates new fat pockets, but no extra pockets for the other stuff.
So excess food of any type is stored as fat.
But if you lose weight, those extra fat pockets are still there, so it is very easy to put weight back on if you overeat by just a small amount.
The thing is, when we all talk of diets, evidence is purely anecdotal. What works well for person A will not work as well for person B. However, the main reason people stay "thin" or at a good weight is because they change their diets permanently, I am less strict with my diet than I was when wanting to lose weight, but I still watch what I eat. A lot of it comes without thought now, because all old habits of biscuits with tea etc etc I now equate to putting on a few pounds in a week if I start doing it again.
Stating the obvious - eat less!
I on't mean to be facetious, I saw Dr Phil Hammond on Countdown a little while ago.
He said using a smaller bowl, or only filling a plate with food in the centre bit, avoiding the raised rim, he lost a couple of stone.
But don't go out and buy bigger plates!
I've lost half a stone In a week, gone from
15:8t to 15. Got another stone to go ( I'm 6ft) but alllnive been doing is what the experts tell you.
No crisps,'chocolate, white bread
Loads of veg
Chicken instead of red meat
Baked potatoes
Wholemeal bread.
Fruit
Water.
That's it and plenty of exercise.
I believe coconut oil is best avoided if your cholesterol is on the wrong side of middling. It is full of saturated fat.
no need for any of this just pump cocane up your nose all week.the weight will drop of
Diets don't work? What does that mean? Surely a diet works as long as you stick to it? You can't expect anything to work when you don't practice it.
It's like saying my phone only works when I charge it. if I don't charge it, it doesn't work. Therefore my phone doesn't work.
In my experience low carb diets are fantastic.
Until you eat carbs again. Then you just regain weight.
It is a kind of fake weight loss.
Just walk. About 2 hours a day of fast walking and you should be able to eat what you want . I just love walking around and listening to podcasts or maybe just thinking about some problem. I find metaethics to be a good topic for a long walk.
I know. But come on.
