What diet/lifestyle do you follow to stay slim/lose weight?!

leedsforever · Jun 24th, 2009, 15:56 PM

Im getting fed up... yes again

When I lost weight before I didnt follow any sort of plan and it worked... I just thought about what to eat and made better food choices.. if that makes sense!!

Sometimes I think that over thinking about what your eating and how much your eating can have an adverse effect... like because I didnt make a slimming world choice at lunch I think.. "oh well my diets ruined now start tomorrow" which is the wrong way to be, because I could still have a good day

oh im just rambling now lol.... just want to know what you all do?

thanks

I just calorie count. Simple but effective I think

its easier than working out syns and all that crap and lets you have what you want but if you have a bigmac and fries than you cant eat for the rest of the day

so you make healthier choices. I also preplan what im gonna eat and i dont have anything else.
Oh and it helps if you dont have any junk in the house so you wont be tempted. Make your OH eat healthier too

)

My mums on slimming world atm so we eat the recipes for tea. I think they're alot nicer than the weight watchers ones and loads simpler to make. I think im gonna join there and give it a go.

After 9 months of being able to eat what i want i seriously need help. Plus i think being weighed infront of some stranger every week will scare me!

I definetly think being weighed by someone helps... LOADS!!
SW is awesome I think Im going to treat myself to some of the recipe books tomorrow

Im just calorie counting and exercising but im using a website which has food and exercise logs ... lots of tools for calculating BMI, BMR, calorie intake etc etc.

It seems really good and by me being able to see and keep track fo what im eating and even how many calories im burning everyday, its really spurring me on

leedsforever · Jun 24th, 2009, 17:22 PM

ive done that before holly too

its works out how many calories you should consume to lose Xlb per week doesnt it?! Its good

Im getting back into my excercise again in a big way and I think that makes such a difference

Ideal Protein Diet now and when I am done, something along the line of the SUzanne Summers diet; eating foods at the right time of day.

This will be the first diet I am on that I attain maintenance so I will let you know how it goes.

I'm just watching what I eat.. not so much calorie counting but making 'healthier choices'.. ie: if I have a choice eat dinner at home rather than going out, having sweet potatoes instead, baking food rather than frying it.. cut back on snacking in the evening..

I'm doing an intestinal cleanse too
