    Is it bollocks

    Dieticians with the NHS suggest a weight loss of a pound a week

    That's a crash diet and in the vast majority of cases people put the pounds back on , as they do with weight watchers and slimmers world, both huge money bakers

    You may have lost a shed load of weight and also others on here but if it stays off it's a rarity

    5 and a half pound in two weeks ?

    The evidence suggests that's way too fast

    Good luck though

    Exactly

    Intake of food

    Intake of calorie heavy food

    Exercise

    Acceptance of genetics ......People who are naturally muscular will shift weight more than skinny people if they use weights and eat healthily

    People who are skinny don't have that advantage so need to be very strict with what they eat

    If you are simplistically telling me a rate of 4 lb a week is in every case unhealthy then sorry we will just have to disagree. It's not average, but is not uncommon at all. As for whether it stays off or not being a rarity it's an achievement you either fail at or you achieve - that is the failure of the person's overall life skills over and above anything else. If you are looking for long term good weight/health then do the work and research in getting to that - if you have a lot to lose and don't mind losing it over a matter of years, with no rush regarding the meantime effects on your health, by all means go ahead with slow weight loss, but at the same time independent of that short term dieting for weight loss is effective and shouldn't be scoffed at or completely written off. One size certainly does not fit all.

    Good on you mate. I did Keto a year or so ago. I'm not a big bloke, 5ft 7 and was weighing in at 12st4. I really felt it around my stomach area, really tight feeling. I got down to 10st 10 in about 8 weeks. Couldn't keep it at that, but currently knocking about the 11st 2 mark, and happy with that. Good luck

    Re: Slimming World

    in my case eat general foods moderately , eat junk food moderately , only drink alcohol on weekends but the trick is regular exercise

    running and exercise hard 3 times a week for the last 5 months has seen a great improvement for me .Feeling fitter now than i was 15 years ago and don't bother even checking my weight these days just feel alot better both mentally and physically . just hope i can keep it up throughout the winter months !

    Be very careful David Lemma, you're dealing with an expert on everything here

    Well I know for a fact that dai lemma , as he's also known is not a qualified NHS dietician

    Whereas the one pound a week weight loss target is the one those very people , who surely know their stuff , preach

    Dai is also known by another name and he gives similar advice , unsurprisingly

    Both are incorrect

    That suggests that these diets don't work as you have lost a lot in 8 weeks and put a lot of it back on

    Well you are not an NHS dietician and that's what they think so you better e mail them pronto

    Short term crash and replacement diets are ineffective in that they are generally not maintained

    It's all very well losing 2 stone for a wedding but if 3 months later it's all back on then that diet is clearly a failure

    Sludge i don’t agree at all.

    Depends on individual people and how it’s done

    4lb a week is perfectly healthy for the body it’s just whether the mind can cope

    Sludge, i was never going to stay at 10 st 10, i don't have the shape. I weigh in now between 11 and 11st 2. That shows that it does work if you maintain a sensible diet.

    Are you basing this on any research ?

    Because if you are then I am certain that NHS dieticians would have heard of it

    One pound a week is what they say is the right rate of weight loss

    So 4 pounds , if we are accepting these people know what they are talking about , is clearly not

    One of the problems with losing too much weight in a week is your likely to be losing muscle as well which isnt great.

    Indeed

    It's not good for you

    Boxers and body builders starve themselves before a competition but they have plenty of muscle density in back up

    Lol saying that doesn't make your opinions that of an NHS dietician 😅 I would be quite confident I am more well read on it than you and my access to advice from Fellows of the Royal College of Physicians is better than yours.😆👍

    Don't worry about muscle wastage if you are fat enough for your body fat % to be a problem. The muscle wastage will become a problem well after you have lost the weight. Also muscle wastage can be minimised to a degree with exercise.

    I went from 17 and a bit stone to 10 and a half stone, and I'm 11 stone 5 months later.

    How long did it take?

    Re: Slimming World

    I lost 3 stone in 6 months during lockdown by calorie counting on My Fitness Pal. I don’t really need to do it now but I still do, I’ve put on about 2lbs in over a year so I’m not concerned!

    The biggest thing I learnt was portion control and what foods are high in calories etc. I could eat what I wanted, within reason, so I never craved anything. Cutting out the booze was a big thing! It’s helped me make actual lasting changes rather than a fad diet etc
