Gosh Cheryl I hadn't realised how serious your asthma was... hopefully this winter will be better for you.
Hello Jet! hope you're preparing healthy food in between running around everywhere?
Where diets are concerned, I think a lot of it is also down to us. All the diets work if followed closely. But some follow our natural food preferences more closely. If any given diet involves eating things we don't like much, can't be bothered to prepare, or involves too much cooking/organising/planning/whatever and we're not prepared to put that time in, then it won't work.
I can't remember what diet now on here at the moment that some people are following where you pay and your meals are delivered to you. Some would do brilliantly on that.
SW used to work for me... wouldn't now I shouldn't think...
I guess where I'm a litttttle more reticent (realistic?) than you guys re Dukan (although you Atkinsers must be more aware) is that we're all in phase 2 at the moment and YES the weight does fall off if we stick to the rules... So the Dukan diet DOES work...
But in 100 or so pages, we'll be talking about Consolidation and/or Stabilisation even... and I wonder whether we'll all be singing from the same songsheet.
Anyway not here to put a downer on things - just some realism - cos low fat low carb diets are great for the weight loss but it's not easy at target weight to accept that it's not over... and won't be for a heck of a long time.
and biggest loser...but can't see new series til it shows up on the freeview box
