My friend did 7lbs on a none VLCD this week. And she is very slim. That shocked me too.

Glad I'm not alone then Isis!
Interesting.. Have you done the quiz? I will have to check this out on catch up when my OH isn't around to moan about me constantly watching weight loss programmes
PS - hope you feel better soon! This diet makes me angry too when I don't see the loss I want. You wonder why you are bothering as you can lose the little weights on any old diet!!

Well done! I find it hard when cooking for me boys. I tend to pick out of habit! So I have had to stop myself doing it.
I would agree I am an all or nothing type with weight loss etc.

I came out at emotional eater but parts constant craver and feaster too. They recommend cognitive behaviour therapy combined with a low cal diet.. Sounds like hard work!!

On a VLCD it should be I would think!

I'm doing vlcd 5 days a week and lcd (working solution) 2 days a week...it's less than 800 cals extra a week but I guess I can stop it if my weight loss slows...
Yay! Feeling motivated at mo...long may it last

That's a very achievable goal Dietninja. I was looking back at my losses from last time and I lost 4 stones in 11 weeks - which seems crazy to
imagine. But... I was almost 24 stones and the bigger you are the more that comes off initially. I doubt I will lose at that rate this time.
I'd love to be back to my lowest weight from last year which was 15st 8lb by end of March - which is 11 weeks - but think that's probably a bit over optimistic but it gives me something to work towards.

So the programme tonight, they basically put them on these diets:
Feasters - slimming world type diet (high protein, low GI - carbs wise, yes to pasta and basmati rice, no to potatoes & bread.
Constant cravers - intermittent fasting. 2 days a week up to 800cals low carb. No diet but eat healthily on the other 5. It'll be interesting to see a mass trial of 5:2...it's only really been done on a small trial basis. Also I wonder what made them decide up to 800cal instead of the more oft quoted 500...? Also interesting they specified no carbs on fast days.
Emotional eaters - low cal & habit breaking. Recognises the value of group support, including over the Internet (yay minimins!) and SW or WW.
It was quite gimmicky ...all the strawberry picking, what was that about???? And I don't believe we all got into exactly one of those 3 groups. But it's nice they recognise that one diet does not fit all.
What did you all think?
