A diet is what what we eat every day of our lives. What people are really saying is "I am eating a specific diet so I can lose weight for a specific amount of time." Link to post Share on other sites

When I get back in September I plan to be a bit more long term. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 eating more than you need will always get you fat. A while back I tried the Atkins diet. Basically I just ate meat, a little veg, a little fruit. No carbs if I could help it. That, together with my mega drinking kept me the same weight without exercise. I like it ços I was young and partied quite a lot. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I've lost 15 kgs since january - simply by reducing portion sizes, eating properly - ie little to no processed food, no deep fried stuff etc, and cutting back the drinking. The only tough times have been going to izakayas when friends ordered all the greasy, deep fried stuff and I wanted to eat something healthier. Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I think it is not 'thier' arse that is wanting to be removed! I have a constant battle with weight, and it sucks. A few years back I went on Weight Watchers and got a personal trainer who worked me until I threw up (well I literally threw up once, but his sessions were BRUTAL all the time) three times a week with an hour on the treadmill every other day, and I PUT ON weight! I was FIT, but I put on a few kilo's and there was virtually NO change in the way my clothes fitted. However when I am radical and cut out all the carbs (end of story - NO carbs, zip zero nada!) then it slowly drops. Soon as I eat a piece of toast or a potato - WHOOMPA! Back on the kilo's go. Sucks! But I refuse to give up the battle. Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 pics ok - lemme find some - is was due to a multitude of things - wedding was one of them, but family has a history of heart and high blood pressure problems, an one way to reduce the chances of those, is by losing weight. and didnt want to join a gym, so started out with just reducing portions, coooking healthier, and in turn, the above problems have been reduced according to the doctor.

RobBright 35 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Ta - and it all was from was cutting down portions and eating a lot healthier. What is in the jenny Craig's program? Link to post Share on other sites
ausi ski bum 1 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Basically pre prepared meals and weekly support an weigh ins. Its working for me so far. Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 If you know what your eating from that program, Can't you cook yourself the similar with good organic ingredients? I'm a strong believer (but not strict) in cooking with organic food where possible, and pre-prepared sounds really sus to me. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 What happens when the program is finished? Not trying to sound negative. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Organic food is all well and good if : a) you have a readily available supply, eg. my town only has one store that sells it day in day out. There is a farmers market, but they only come once every fortnight, in summer once a week. you have the money to pay for it, as invariably it tends to cost more than the "regular" produce, ie in my local seiyu, an organic carrot costs 148yen for one medium sized, or 65 yen for two large "regular" ones. c) it doesn't go off within two days. Also cooking depends on how much time you have available per day/per week, but yes, prepared stuff is horrid once you have been eating freshly prepared food for a while.
