diets

[sleepyj]

some people say diets make you fat ...do you think thats true ...?

[Androcles]

I've generally found that it is food and drink which are the culprits. The is certainly true of the Seafood diet "See food and eati it"

[sleepyj]

lol when your on a diet it makes you think about food more .....did me anyway .....

I agree with u sleepyj, i've recently been trying to loose weight and it's just made me eat more chocolate than i ever have before!!

[joannie10]

yeh it is like if you deny yourself something you want it even more or if people think something is considered a healthier option they eat more - ie 5 packets of low calorie crisps.

hiya sleepy, yes diets mess around with your metabolism.

Try going on a vegetarian food plan, with plenty of pulses and vegetable, rather than the quorn products.... I can email you some recipes :-)

[sleepyj]

hi petal ...thanks yes do that ...

Diets definitely do make you fat, in that, when you stop dieting you put back what you lost PLUS loads more weight.
If I had never dietied, I would not now be the size I am. Think very hard before you start down this road.

If its the type of diet where you nearly starve for a week or so then binge like crazy then yes but if you find a diet like slimming world where you are changing your eating habits long term then no as you are looking at long term weight loss and as long as you eat like that 80% of the time you should be ok

Diets never worked for me Sleepyj and every time I did diet, I always put more back on until I reached 22 stones 5lbs. I had a gastric band operation 10 months ago and have now lost 11 stones with just 1 and a half more to lose. If you are a grazer, which I was and still am, graze on what weight watchers call free foods, my fave is cherry tomatoes with rock salt and pepper, cucumber, pickled cauliflower and all that kind of thing. I NEVER have anything with sweeteners in any more as these make the body crave more for sugar so if you are feeling like something sweet go for damage limitation, a packet of fruit gums, chocolate that is based with bisciut, i.e. kit kat and a sugared coffee or tea.

Good Luck.
