anyone done it. does it work

Done it, yes you do lose weight but I don't reckon it is a healthy long-term lifestyle. Gave me spots and bad breath and bad constipation. Only managed 2 weeks on it as I gave in to cravings and started getting headaches.

I found weight watchers the most effective long term weight loss programme and I never really felt like I had to 'miss out' on too much.

need something fast....otherwise i just give up.

On most proper diets if done properly you can expect to lose 1/2 stone at least in 2 weeks, some people obviously lose less and some can lose even more depending on how much you have to lose.

Also it's not a healthy diet especially for the liver. Have a look Here it actually says reasons against = initial loss of water returns quickly. I've actually tried it and greasy bacon and eggs for breakfast and double cream instead of milk in coffee, yummy! Not!! After a week or so of bacon and egg, no fruit, limited veg, no bulk of the carbs to a meal you soon feel hungry again. I found it bleugh!

Down the left hand side is a list of other diets and what they entail.

What a good website furball, will have to have a good browse through that. You are also right, the idea of Atkins sounds delicious but in reality the thought of eating another fry-up minus the carbs becomes unbearable.

would do you are what you eat if it wasnt so blooming expensive! have a do in 1 month and i neeeeed to loose at least a stone.HELP

can you get it from the library?

If not, don't panic. What about the kelloggs diet (very easy to fit it into your life!) you have a bowl of cereal for breakfast and a bowl for dinner and a sensible healthy evening meal. plus if you drink 2 litres of WATER a day and try and fit in at least a 15-20 minutes brisk walk you will be well on your way!

already got the book, i meant the diet is so expensive. organic everything and loads of out of season fruit and veg? could give the cereal one a go. will check it out. thanks

Forgot to say, you should only do the kelloggs diet for 2 weeks to give you a kick start!

thanks. im starting tomorrow. (she says....again) will let you know how i get on.

ok....so make that next week.

bad day?

its always a bad day.
