Thread: BBC weight loss program

I keep low fat/high fibre cereal and skimmed milk at work so I can have breakfast around 9.30-10am when I started to get hungry.

Great post, loads of tips

ive missed the program but thanks lynn for all those helpful tips! x

Brilliant, thanks for the summary especially

cheers hun

I found this a very interesting programme although I saw it (or something similar) quite a while ago. I have started having a bowl of soup at lunch time and it really works well.

Just trawling for inspiration on the site, I found yr thread. I missed this prog, though I expect it'll be repeated sometime. Some of this fits with the articles and books by Gary Taubes (see his website), but he has interesting research on exercise for weight loss, as the evidence suggests that it doesn't work for weight loss. However it is important for lots of other reasons such as heart, muscle tone and metabolism, brain function, mobility of joints etc.

Great thread. For past 6 mths i have started my day off with a protein shake with skimmed milk, bran and flaxseeds.

It delivers a great start to my day, kickstarts my metabolism (body has to work harder to break down proteins) and keeps me full. Diary has, imho, been unfairly treated given that research into its affect on weight loss isn't exactly new. Good to see both the programme and the thread raising it.

Definitely gonna have more soups for lunch. Thanks for the info

Thanks, have saved it to watch later.

Low fat dairy helps you lose more fat

Would fat Free be classed as low fat, do you actually need some fat for it to work?

I shouldn't think so, as they only talk about what the calcium in the milk does.

Edit: I mean I shouldn't think it needs some fat to work or they would have said so.
