I am on the exante diet. I've lost weight and got to goal twice in the past, still struggling but have been using Paul Mckenna's CD on and off. Thinking to spend some money on individual hypnosis sessions. With motivation and will power, the only thing that really works with me, is visualising the future slim self. I am four days into the diet and plan to go to christmas eve and go on to calorie counting For a while, then january 12th to do exante again. I've considered a gastric band recently but i work away and it seems you have to do a lot of food preparation? Is that right? Our is it initially?
