I've been trying to get into shape myself and I've found that any kind of novelty diet like this may get rid of some pounds but doesn't ultimately stick. Because you can lose 19 pounds in 3 weeks and then gain it all right back in the same amount of time. You have to make a change that you can live with for the rest of your life, as depressing as that sounds. But what has been working for me is: 1) not eating late night (this is the hardest for me but also the thing that makes the biggest difference) 2) eating smaller portions. once you get into the habit this actually becomes rather easy. just eat 1/2 or 2/3 of the portion size you'd normally eat. eating until I was totally stuffed was just a habit I didn't even realize I was doing one easy way to eat a little less is to skip the sides. like if i'm eating a hamburger - skip the fries. Or skip the bag of chips to go with the sandwich. 3) kinda watch the snacks and desserts. i don't cut them out but just keep in mind if i ate a bowl of ice cream yesterday, then skip dessert today. Aside from that I pretty much eat exactly what I have always ate. I have lost about 22 pounds. I'm currently stuck at that weight because I keep cheating on my own system! But I think it's important not to be too hard on yourself otherwise you tend to just give up. |

1. Cutting pop out of my diet. I used to drink it every day for lunch, and now I drink it ~once a month max.
2. Eating smaller portions of snacks - I used to sit down in front of the TV or computer with a bag of snacks that I would devour. Now I either take a handful from the bag, or I put some in a bowl for me to eat.
And overall I just try to eat until I am full, which I used to have trouble with.
