Im a BBW... Been over weight for about 15yrs now.
Have done nearly all the diets. I did the Atkins, was fast working & if you buy the book, has many idea's for variations... But, I still failed at them all :cry:
Just lately, Ive been watching a programme called 'I can make you slim' All about actually noticing what we're eating etc.. i.e. We spend all our time thinking about food except when we're actually eating it! Then we're so busy shovelling it in quick we don't notice we're full till we're over-full, which stretches our stomachs etc etc. as we're watchin t.v. blah blah.. But if we slowly ate our food & thought about every mouthful n how it tastes, we would notice b4 its too late, that we're full. That way, we can eat exactly what we desire but will more likely ending up leaving some cos we're full.. and end up losing weight. I bought the book & the c.d. & its working for me at the mo, re-programming the way I think about food etc.
There is so much more to this & if anyones interested they can pm me & I will let you know what it is.
But mainly... Eat what you want & don't miss out. Just notice when your full!!

I have been talking to a friend here over time about a diet, I have since read a few articles and have seen a few programme about it too.
It can be known by a lot of different names but basically you go back to what your country originally produced, which here is mainly
Meat
Fish
Vegetables
Nuts
Eggs
There are a few other things in the list
Cutting out
Bread
Dairy
Rice
Pasta
Potatoes
Fruit
Beans
I have spoken to my hubby about it over months and now he has decided that it all makes sense so he researched it and is going to give it a try starting tonight.
Can we really cut out so much from our normal diet and really have a decent meal?
I am struggling to think of enough recipes to full fill his needs.
Bear in mind I am letting him be the guinea pig, hence why I planted the seed.
I don’t know if I could cut out so much from my diet, I think a balance is ok.
Could you survive on the list?
Any suggestions of meals would be greatly appreciated, I am not a bad cook but I need ingredients.
splendid idea, after all how can you argue with over 200,000 years of evolution. What i would change in your list is to split vegetables into different types. Tubers (potatoes, parsnips, carrots) into the cutting out list and leaf veg (lettuce cabbage sprouts)in the can have list.
Nuts are ok with a few exceptions, peanuts are out as they are a legume and not a nut and almonds are not a nut either, they are a drupe. (and actually quite poisonous if not cooked properly)
dairy should really be in your can list as well, just avoid the low fat options.

Fruits and potatoes were imported to this country they were not grow as a natural food supply younders ago
We have always had fruits in this country.
Maybe not tropical ones like bananas etc. granted, but c'mon Minxy, the rolling orchards, woodlands and hedgerows of this little island of ours have always been chock full of fruits.
What do you think the hunters and gatherers of days of yore survived on?
contrary to popular belief, the hunter gatherers of bygone eras did not gather fruit or veg and it was never a major part of the diet. After all much of the evolution period was spent in ice age, you try getting an apple mid January in an ice age, ain't gona happen, Sainsburys wasn't invented at the time

okay im going to stick my neck out here and be serious for at least this answer. I used to be 23 stone - I tried all types of diet and only the following worked for me. I am cautiously saying for me...... oh and peanuts are not nuts - bin em!
1. I threw out all ready and packeted meals - they contain huge amounts of salt and excess sugar - for those who think they know - corn syrup is a main component in many meals and meats as is cheaper than sugar - it is a thickening and bulking agent.
2. Avoid the crisp/sweet aisle
3. Buy fresh veg and Meat/ Fish - cut all fat off red meat and only have once a week - Rabbit and venison are low in fat if good cuts.
4. Exercise 3 times a week for at least an hour - cardio and weights.
5. Walk if its under 2 miles - I dont care if its raining.
6. Park the farthest distance from the Shopping centre in the car park lol
7. Learn to cook properly.
8. Consult your doctor about more tips - they will tell you to exercise more so do it.
9. Watch the weight fall off
lol
well said that man.
Obesity is a problem of the western world. I talk daily to people about their diet and am amazed at what they eat. So much junk food ping food and take aways. Does no one cook any more?
3 balanced meals a day, no picking in between, not oversized portions, and a daily walk or exercise.
Diet is a lifetime issue not just till you get down to your desired weight then eat like a pig n put it back on.
Fad diets are dangerous - Dr Atkins died of an heart attack following his own diet.
Food should be enjoyed and satisfy a need.
2 points. a low carbohydrate diet is not and never was a fad diet, it was the major diet for about 200,000 years, the fad diet is the modern day "low fat diet" it's only been around for about 30 years and time after time has been proved derogatory to health, very fattening, and the major cause of diabetes, chd, stroke and hosts of other serious illnesses. But despite all the evidence it's trotted out all the time by the "health " industry as the be all and end all.
Dr Atkins. No he did not die of a heart attack at all. That was an urban myth put out by the "health " industry to discredit him and what he taught, which was against their own belief system. Far from being some quack, Atkins was an eminent Cardiologist who took the time and trouble to figure what was causing the problems his patients were suffering from. He died after falling on ice and banging his head which caused a blood clot in the brain.
Mike has lost 2 stone since we got married 2 years ago.
He was never a big eater or drinker, infact ate a way better diet than I did in many ways, as he did eat the right stuff, it was just a question of how he was cooking it.
What happened was that when we got married he picked up some of my good habits(and I picked his bad ones up!)
He stopped sugar in hot drinks, cut down to semi skimmed, and then skiimmed milk on cereals and in hot drinks.
Grilled meat, and stopped frying foods.
Replaced butter with a healty type of spread.
Cut down on puddings, and replaced cream with fromage frais on them instead.
The list could go on.
Small changes introduced over a period of time, so his taste buds could take it.
He started walking too, and of course the extra sex that a new marriage brings, helps loads on the exercise frount!
He has maintained his weight loss, and feels better, not just body wise and health wise, but in his head for it too!
Good luck to all those attempting the mighty task of loosing weight this year!

I have lost 15 kilo's (two stone) since end October and have five to go with a target end date of mid March.
I took the view that a short term 'diet' was pointless and have decided to change my life because I know that bread, chocolate and biscuits were my downfall. I knew though that to lose weight initially I would have to make some big changes. So............
1) Breakfast is now a banana or a couple of apples and a coffee. (As opposed to cereal and/or toast)
2) Lunch tends to be fruit, salad or soup (no bread). (As opposed to baguette / roll / main meal)
3) Dinner is vegetables and pork or chicken or fish. (As opposed to a fully plated meal)
Evening snacks of crisps/chocolate/biscuits are now just a thing of the past.
I have cut out bread and potatoes and of course just accept that chocolate and biscuits are gone forever. I do enjoy treats like cheese and yogurts but in much smaller portions than before. Another thing was to change the plate sie that my food was served - I now eat off a mid size plate as opposed to a big dinner plate.
Perhaps the most important thing I did though was to make a day to day spread sheet of target weight against actual weight. It has kept me very focused and whilst there were sometimes days and days of no loss at all it was mostly, very possible to see the effects of over portions and the resultant effects of trying harder. I aimed to lose 2 kilo's a week and the fisrst five came off within two weeks. The next ten took a couple of months and this last five is proving a real chalenge but having seen and felt the results it has given great motivation.
Regular weighing this will enable me to have a more accurate long term weight management as effects of over/under eating can quickly be seen and therefore managed.
Well done on your weight loss
However, I do have to say, from working in Health, if what you write is typical of your daily intake, long term you could be putting yourself at risk. You only eat a small portion of protein at evening meals and your breakfast should be more filling, I would have thought anyway.
From what I can gather, you should have one of the food types with every meal, ie., eggs on toast (only one slice
) for brekki, yes soup for lunch but finish with yoghurt and fruit and your evening meal sounds fine.I'm no expert as I say I just worry about the long term implications on your health, your bones and your vitamin intake etc.,
I take on what you are saying but this is my intake during the target weight loss phase, it is not the plan to continue this regime on a continuous basis. From watching the scales on a daily basis I have a pretty good idea what intake will be required to maintain an equilibrium and I will certainly be having a more significant breakfast once I have hit target. Hopefully it will then just be a case of monitoring and eating sensibly and sensible sized portions.
Well good luck, whatever it is you're doing, it's working and that's more than anything that's working for me right now so keep up the hard work :wink:
PS. I'm a great believer in watching the scales daily, it can show a 'water retention' food for me within 24 hours which to me is like a red light.
PersonallI think the word " diet " can make people more hungry and want to eat.
We are not on a diet we have been eating a new lifesyle for the last few years.
For us its 6 small meals a day.
Porridge or weetabix for breakfast
Mid morning snack such as mullerice or yogurt or ceral bar.
Lunch which is usually prawn or tuna pasta salad ( made ourselves and not full of calorie sauce ) I prefer a sweet chilli dipping sauce dripped over mine.
Mid afternoon maybe a small sandwich or something protein.
Teatime is usually Chicken and rice/noodles or steak or pork chops, I dry fry mushrooms and onions.
Super is always something with very low carbs or will just have a protien drink and some chicken pieces.
to begin with we were always hungry but over a few weeks your portions gets smaller and you feel fuller.
Im not saying this would be for everyone as I often struggle to fit all 6 meals in but it does work for us.
I also belive you combine healthy eating with excersise, to me one wont work without the other.
to me excerise is getting your heart rate up for between 20 and 40 minutes

Wish you luck........
Just try having fruit for breakfast and then cut out all your sweeties as well as bread and potatoes in other meals. Just try that for a couple of weeks and see what happens. I felt better within 2 days of stopping eating bread and I have not had heart burn since October (as opposed to having to carry Gaviscon around with me before).
I do wish you good luck and I know it is hard but if you try this and it works you will see the results quickly and that should inspire you.
