I can't see why it would be a problem - as long as you are sensible about it.

It's not really a "diet" is it - it's a state of mind so, it should work with whatever you need/want to eat

Ps He must have really worked on me (went to one of seminars - it was money well spent)because from weighing obssessivley before I hardly ever have the urge to weigh myself.

It's so liberating!

has anyone done this who is type2 diabetic?

I went to see Paul Mckenna three years ago and whilst I haven't lost much I did drop dress size on lower half and for first time in about 20 yrs (of yo yo dieting) am now liberated from worrying about food, eat 'instinctively' etc and have gained fantastic body image (for the first time ever).

I'm sure I need to lose weight though (am 16 top and 14 bottom to give you an idea)

I exercise regularly - about 30 mins (sometimes more) walking/cycling 3-4 days per week. I upped my exercise last year when I knew my blood sugar levels were increasing.

But have recently been diagnosed with type 2 and have to see practice nurse at end November. Not sure how I can square the regime I expect I will be asked to go on with this type of eating programme. Any ideas? Anyone

Checked his website and he says that diabetics can follow it but must check with doctor and monitor blood sugar levels.
Hi all. I am still "doing" this - but suffered a lull because I am, so used to actual diets that this didn't feel like I was doing enough...

and I didn't weigh myself in a good three weeks and turns out I have lost another 4 pounds without realising.

For those flagging, the 90 day success journal is supposed to really help - by recording anything the mind gets focused a lot more apparently.

Yes, he will. I can't eat now without him whispering 'oi porky thighs, stop now' in my ear. It works.

what I would do ( and this is why I love this programme so much grin) is to go to town on my own and have a coffee and a muffin in Starbucks or somewhere and just take a bit of time to realise how well you are doing smile

Help me people!
I have literally a mere sprint to the finish line and I can be a 12 (ish) by xmas day. have had a horrible 2 weeks or so of stress but now over but I am lacking inspiration- like a bit of self sabotage.
Don't want to binge eat- i don't feel like doing so- but, what is it? Yes- it's a sort of 'flat' feeling.
Any tips or bit of a pep talk would be most welcome!

Well so far I am loving this. I feel so relaxed about food now and am enjoying my food so much and have even discovered that there are some foods I don't actually like very much! I have cheated and weighed already and lost 2 lbs in 6 days. It's amazing that I can actually stop eating. I am sometimes cooking dinner and thinking I'm not actually that hungry... whereas before it was cook it, eat it, empty plate whatever. I feel like, as Paul puts it, my brain has been reprogrammed!

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
