Basically, IMHO, whichever method of losing weight you choose, it will only work if your head is in the right place ie you are determined to make it work. For me, the Slimmimg World approach worked (though I did not join a group) as I like a good plateful of food and to feel full when I've eaten, and there are lots of things you can eat as much as you want without a problem. For me it's also easy to stick to the general principles now I've lost the weight. Different people will prefer different approaches though, as demonstrated in this thread.

I think one needs to point out the futility of yo-yo dieting where one eats nutritionally poor processed 'slimmers' ready meals to lose weight. So what happens afterwards? One cannot live forever on such a diet so something has to change again after a while.

To keep the weight off on can only eat a diet of healthy food. So rather than go through a 'diet' process that eventually leads back to the food that made you fat in the first place one would be better to work directly towards a different regime of eating that will sustain them at their target weight for the rest of their lives.

Went to the garage today to get some petrol and came away a bit horrified. Our local garage has been rebuilt with a Greggs, subway, etc. I went in to pay and was hit by the smell of baked goods, then went to queue next to the aisle full of chocolate, reduced priced cakes,etc. What amazes me are the amount of people falling for it, I was the only one without some kind of diabetes/cancer time bomb in my hands.

The food manufactures and retailers are making money on the backs of our ill health and we are mugs if we fall for it - I know its tough but stick 2 fingers up at them and walk past all the temptation!

I agree entirely. Watch
Forks over Knives, Food Matters and Sugar Coated to see how we are being seduced, addicted and conned by the food industry. Then, you will realise why it's so blooming hard to break the cycle and do away with all the processed cr*p. You'll then walk around a supermarket and realise how much of the stuff on the shelves is packed with elements to continue the cycle of dependency.

I'm not saying awareness will - or can - make it any easier to make lifestyle changes; the hooks are in, after all, but it's certainly something we all should know about.

Low carb - Carbs converts to sugar so a no no. Diets dont work. You will loose weight on diets but as soon as you stop dieting you put the weight back on. Just think if it grazes, swims or grows it is good - if its in a tin, box , packet its not because it contains lots of sugar, so in other words cut out processed foods, also reduce carbs. so eat meat especially chicken, fish lots of veggies, eggs, cheese, small amounts of fruit, and for a little treat something you fancy. cut out fruit juices and fizzy drinks and drink water instead.
Hope this helps.

I'm also a member of Slimming World and have been for 2 years now. I reached target after 6 months (1 half stone), then whittled it down a bit further (3 stone) and have been steady at this weight now for over a year.

For me, I think it's important to consider this a healthy eating plan, it a permanent change, not something to dip into when you want to shift a few lbs.

I eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, I have ditched the 1 calorie spray (not sure that anything that ruined my pans could be that good for my insides), and bought a really good non stick pan so I didn't need any fat.

I have also gone back to using a bit of butter, olive oil and the yogurt is organic natural, but not fat free. I avoid sweeteners and just go without. The natural sweetness from the fruit is enough for my yogurt (did take a little getting used to, but pleased I persevered). So now if I do 'indulge' in a sweet treat (remember when desserts and chocolate used to be a treat, and not a daily expectation??) I don't eat that much, because I don't need to.

So basically I'd avoid too much bread, if you do have bread try to make it wholemeal, and don't eat too much of it (as a guide SW would say 1 x slice large loaf, 2 x slices small 400g loaf). Lots of vegetables, fruit, non fatty meats (if you're not vegetarian). Try to cut back on too much oil, avoid processed food. In some ways that perhaps sounds quite unappealing - but I didn't used to eat fruit or veg before and I really enjoy it now.

If the opportunity arises, I would suggest joining Slimming World, they often have free vouchers to join in magazines, if only to go for a few weeks, get the information about how to do it, and the support of others, it really does help.

Good luck

Basics of slimming world is good but I can't live with a diet that limits the amount of avocados, olive oil, nuts and seeds you can eat but gives you unlimited bananas, mangos and pineapples, which are stuffed full of fructose. Healthy fats aren't the issue and we need plenty of them in our diet.

Commercial diets designed to cater for the masses and so have hard and fast rules which over simplify things, measuring your overall weight every week makes absolutely no sense either. Its fat you need to be losing not weight, often when people lose weight hardly any of it is fat, you can be skinny and still carry unhealthy amounts of fat.
