Are you overweight?

[witchy]

I'm not knocking it mate, just curious.

It's just that statistically these types of diets almost always fail in the long run as they don't mold the dieter into living a healthier lifestyle, if it works for you then that's great, that's all that matters

I would give it a try as I do goto the gym anyway so I could use this type of plan to get rid of the weight then maintain my weight with regular exercise, but there's no local pharmacies in my area and it's a bit expensive.

This is just it, people who want it done all for them will never succeed at diets, because they cannot be arsed to work at it.

Go to weight watchers, learn to eat healthy, loose the lbs very slowly, feel dishearten about it and comfort eat away.
Go to the gym, work your bollocks off, see poor results then comfort eat.

This diet makes you get to were you want to be, you feel good about yourself, you want to eat right, you want to exercise to stay were you are.
Comfort eating about your size/weight doesn't factor into it.

If you want to mold something, then you need motivation, if you are already where you want to be, you have motivation to stay there. Its easier to maintain a weight than reduce it.

btw, stats are not facts.

I've had a closer look at it mate, it's basically a low carb Atkins style diet but with ready made food replacements rather than letting you create your own meals, Low carbing definately works, I did it 2 years ago and lost about 8lb a week, it was amazing

I came off it as i couldn't stand all the meat, I craved bread etc something awful

This is no meat, no food, just the shakes. Takes 2 mins to make, but make it with a hand mixer from Tescos. (<10)

Bread is evil, its like slices of sugar.
I have a big time craving for oat porridge made with water and no sugar. I love the stuff. Oddly enough I never liked it before.

Oh for sure, I lost a lot of muscle in the process, but I didn't have the energy to exercise.

When I started eating again, I then had the energy and started my exercise up again. Just remember when you're watching the scales, muscle is heavier than fat.

The main reason I did it, was to reduce my weight so I could jump out of a plane.

contrary to popular belief it is impossible to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time, hence why that "extreme" body building plan is used

it is possible for a beginner to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time but after this it is not, muscle growth requires the intake of calores ABOVE maintenance and fat loss requires the intake of calories BELOW maintenance

It is possible to lose just fat whilst maintaining muscle, however this is very hard and takes a LOT of hard work and planning

well that 1 way to forget about ur weight

yeah i know what u mean, once you fall out of a routine its very hard to get back into it. the hardest thing for me though is preperation and that is the key to a good diet, its hard to constantly make stuff for yourself in advance and eat it at the right times.

If only it were easier eh?

Would love to be like 14 stone
