I can do this!
I started the ‘Unit Diet’ today after hearing lots of positive things said about it and thought it would be a good idea to keep a food diary on here, so others can see what kind of foods you can eat and the results of my weigh ins. This diet is a cross between weight watchers (the allocated daily units) and slimming world (free foods)
You are allowed 10 units per day to use on whatever you want and then you have a list of free foods, which include all vegetables, fruit, skimmed milk, low fat yogurts, fruit as well as some breakfast cereals like Frosties and Rice Krispies, salad cream, tomato sauce and lots more..
I joined the postal membership and with my starter pack I got a basic food directory, a members handbook as well as the unit diet ‘Matrix’ which calculates the fat and calories of any food I want into units. I was really pleased as at the moment membership is half price so it only cost me £14.99 a bargain…lol.
From what I have read on the official site message board, the losses are pretty good ranging from 1-5lbs lost per week. But mostly somewhere in the middle.
I have been following a calorie controlled diet and have lost 26lbs since the end of March this year but my losses practically came to a halt. I did a three week burst of CD 790 to try and move things along and I did lose 6lbs in eight days and then nothing else for the next two weeks, so figured I needed to go back to eating but doing something different to fool my body into losing weight again. So this is where the Unit diet comes into play. So wish me luck and let’s see what this diet can do for me
Right lets get onto my food diary for today.

That is 6.5 units used and 3.5 still to go. I feel stuffed at the moment and not sure I’ll be able to use them. Even though I am told its important that you do ( I might save then for the weekend), . I’ll also get loads of fruit in tomorrow when I go shopping as I had none today. I also need to drink more water. On the whole I have enjoyed today and seriously don’t feel like I am on a diet. Haven’t been hungry at all and only managed to eat half of my dinner. Roll on day 2

If I ever needed to go back on a diet and couldn't face Judddering, I would probably go for this one. Has so much freedom, yet looked very healthy and well balanced too.
