Are you getting all confused by trying to combine bits of different diets?

[erebus]

Because I'm beginning to think I might be! I am going a bit Paul McKenna ('feel' hunger), a bit Idiot Proof (no carbs!), and a bit Gillian Riley (nothing is out of bounds, eat when you want but review the consequences before you do)...

Must sort myself out! It'd be very easy to mess up big time if one selected the 'treat' parts of all the diets without the compensatory 'difficult parts'!

I did bit of each BUT also did MFP as that helped me keep track of what I was actually eating....

Yeah, I think that would be confsuing. I personally wouldnt do any but Paul McKenna, butsthat because it works for me & I cant eat everything that I want.

I am doing them all but under MFP guidance of limiting the calories ... so low carb as much as possible and limiting food using Paul McK..

Can I ask why you dont embrace PMcK full on? Are there parts that you dont think work?

howto the answer for me is to get my BMI below about 25 I have to cut down on carbs, and using the paul mckenna method I'd still want to eat them etc etc.

I know you'll answer and say that a BMI of 25 is healthy/fine but I still feel fat at that sort of weight. So yes it does work if you have eating issues and are eating when not hungry, its doesn't necessarily work if you are a healthy weight but would like to be a bit slimmer.
