if you are going to do this, make your own soups with fresh vegetables - it is sooooo easy to make soups, just toss in a variety of chopped vegetables, add water and stock, cook and then blast with a blender. Lack of fibre and vitamins with the plan you are going for and I think you'll get...

I have electronic scales and you can change the settings to pounds, stones and pounds, and kilos. They weigh you normally, or you can measure your body fat % or water %. They're great...but I find I just end up looking at the weight and not all the other stuff : )

I'm not sure about this program. I did watch some episodes once. And I know there are people on there that really need help and are unhealthily overweight. However, they really are forced to do so much exercise to the point of pain and distress, and an abrupt change in diet. I always wonder...

Yes, but if your brain gets rewired in one way, then surely it can get 'de-wired' again. I think mine certainly has. One thing is guilt about food. Change that guilty feeling and 'bad foods' lose their power over you. If I want chocolate now, I have it. Guess what? I rarely eat chocolate now...

Not sure about this, it is still making a division between 'fat' people and thin people. In the real world there are incredibly thin people, normal sized people, and larger people, I would like to see all these body sizes and heights and races featured in magazines instead of a specialist...

Well, the OP says that they can't stop eating and don't recognise when they are full. I would say to start with this issue. Sounds as if food is not merely nutrition for you, but some kind of compulsion which has nothing to do with hunger. I would start by eating the same foods you already...

I think it is a good idea...but...to perhaps allow yourself a few extra indulgences over the festive period. That way, you get to celebrate, but will keep your food/drink intake somewhat under control. Whereas if you didn't start dieting you'd be in the mindset "who cares, I'll just stuff myself...

that is a great idea...although, strangely I look way bigger than the people in my height and weight range...I guess it all depends on how much of that weight is muscle mass and how much is fat. ------------------------ Postal gold

I think Dukan is probably better...just in case (not saying you will) you fall off the wagon. If you are used to eating lots of cheese and fat Atkins style you will pile on the weight when you go back to eating carbs. Dukan teaches you slowly to eat more healthily. If you continue to be...
