yo-yo-dieter
Silver Member
Hello all, for those who don't know me, like name like nature I am a yo-yo-dieter. My most successful diet has been Lighter Life and I lost 3st 2lbs in three months, finished last September, and promptly have put on 1st 13lbs since then!
I don't want to put the whole lot back on and need to halt this slippery slope.
I thought about Calorie Counting, Weight Watchers, Slimming World, Rosemary Conley and Lighter Life, and while each diet has Pro's, they all also have con's.
Calorie Counting:
For: "I can eat whatever I like....."
Cons: Unfortunately I eat too much of whatever I like. I have no concept of the word "Moderation"....
WW
For: "I can eat whatever I like...."
CONS: As above. Plus it's fiddly working out points in stuff
SW:
For: I'll never be hungry....
Cons: I always seem to go over on SYNS, it's fiddly having to try and work out the SYNS and involves a lot of cooking from scratch
RC:
For: Novelty value - not done it before. Friends have had good results.
Against: Am allergic to group exercise.
LL:
For: Brilliant results last time! Not having a choice really suited me.
Against: Cost, struggle at work, don't like to take Blender in and draw attention to myself, so it means I don't have anything to "eat" between 5am - 3:30pm, and then I can't manage to drink all four before bedtime.
So, I'm thinking that CD sounds like a good idea as it's the same as LL? Yes?
So, does CD have any other good points that I might have missed?
I've phoned 1 of 2 local counsellors and left a message, so can you think of anything that I should ask?
I understand you can't have bars for two weeks, but are the Tetra packs okay to start on straightaway as they are what I would like to take to work with me to break the day up
