EL diet not heard of that one , so can't really say . Being a man weight comes off faster anyway , keep us posted on how your doing

Taz · 2nd September, 2008

Wow that's a lot! What is EL? One stone a month is usually only acheived with the TFR diets but it does come off of men quicker than us girlies and if you are 100% determined and committed then I don't see why you can't do it. Good luck and welcome to the forum x

Whats the EL diet?
Tip: diet + exercise = faster results. (normally)

The EL Diet = Eat Less Diet

Taz · 2nd September, 2008

Oh! Ha ha. Well unless your 'before' diet was really really bad it is unlikely that you would lose a stone per month by just eating less. In fact eating less isn't always the answer, eat less of the wrong thing and MORE of the right stuff. Have you considered following a tried and tested plan? SW and WW give great results whilst eating 'normally'

Hi and welcome. Good luck with the EL diet. Never thought that's what it stood for

Vicx · 2nd September, 2008

HI and welcome, best of luck to you. Taz is so right in what she said....perhaps a structured approach would help you..

"Oh! Ha ha. Well unless your 'before' diet was really really bad it is unlikely that you would lose a stone per month by just eating less".

Yes my diet pre EL Diet was appauling and by the EL diet perhaps I should call it the ECL diet [ Eat considerably Less ]

You should start a food diary on here so we can all have a sneaky peek at what you are doing

Good luck with your diet and welcome to Minimins.

A stone a month is probably over ambitious though unless youre doing a VLCD. Id be reluctant to set such a high target and be disappointed

stacey · 3rd September, 2008
