About the portion thing. Eat on smaller plates. Sounds a bit silly :p but if you have a big plate, your more likely to overload it and eat more than you mean. It's the easiest way to reduce portions.
I've just told my mum to stop buying chocolates and rather than snacking on them I'll just have lettuce because I love that :p I think just eating healthily is better than all these silly diets :p
Hope you're feeling better soon Perdita :)
When I tried the Cabbage soup diet I lost a stone within a week but I think most of that was due to being on the loo (sorry to be rude) I would still like to loose around another stone or stone and a half my eating habits are healthy enough I just need to get of my fat butt and do some exercising.
I think that is what I need to do :( I am just always so tired when I come home from work, trying to find the energy is impossible.Quote:

Weight loss between 10 and 17 pounds. I think I made my cabbage soup too spicy and I ended up ill because of it. :( You can repeat those 7 days as often as you like unless you lose more than 17 pounds in one week, you deffo need to have a break of more than one week then. Got this diet from a cardiologist for patients requiring surgery and due to being too fat need to lose weight quickly.Quote:

I am feeling a bit motivated to do a group session for something at the gym throughout the summer holidays and also mum said there's a gym offer going on so we could go together and work out which I would like too.. Hopefully the words will turn into action!
Meanwhile I will start to use the treadmill and rowing machiene again..
Also going to try eating salads and stuff, which I somehow managed on my holiday and which I usually don't do..
what about this no carbs after 5pm diet? as anyone heard of it working?
the thing is all of my evening meals have carbs in them! so what am i meant to do? have my evening meal at lunch and a sandwhich for dinner? :searchme:
this dieting lark is so difficult as so many things contradict one another. like they say to eat lots of protein (meat etc) but meat has a lot of fat in it. and they say drink a pint of milk a day ( well thats full of fat)
the things we do to loose weight eh!?
Meat does not necessarily have a lot of fat, you need to choose lean meat and don't eat too much of it. Turkey meat is very low in fat, so is chicken.
Choose skimmed milk, again very little fat in that. Eat small portions, drink plenty of water (couple of pints a day at least), not too many treats and little alcohol (:crying: ) and daily exercise of at least half an hour, that way you should have no weight problems. :)
My mum makes fat burning soup. It's for patients to lose weight before heart surgery. It's really nice, and filling.
I'll ask her for the recipe. :)
