I vote Slimming World, rejoined 5 weeks ago and have lost 1st 3lb. I have never felt hungry or deprived of anything. Since last time I did SW they have introduced the Extra Easy plan and it is really good.

Burn off more calories than you eat

Simple.

 

And utterly useless

 

The OPs looking for actual practical advice and is doubtless fully aware (as is everyone) of the above, true, but useless, fact.

 

Stop eating as much and at wrong time and start exercising more and DONT Make excuses why you cant do any of the above. Its a matter of willpower

 

Again, that's not advice, it's a dig a the OP. And, if the OP is like many of the people who decide to face up to an ongoing weight issue and do something about it, the very last thing they should rely on is 'willpower'.

 

If they possessed sufficient willpower to control their weight/food intake, they would have done so already.

 

What they need is an effective approach that does not rest on possessing an iron will.

 

One that changes your eating habits forever - so no silly diets like 'no carbs' because these aren't sustainable. Regular exercise to release endorphins. If you lose weight quickly you are most certainly going to put it back on. If you lose it slowly (Yeah I know we all want the quick fix) you are more likely to keep it off. I read somewhere the other day that YoYo dieters have a significant increase in cancer risk.

 

This is much more like it. The OP needs a way of eating and exercising that is sustainable for the rest of their life- it must not rely in any way on possessing large amounts of 'willpower' and be enjoyable enough that the OP actually wants to continue with it.

 

Carbs (bread potatoes highly processed carbs) should definitly be cut back to a minimum, not just because of their calorie content, but because it is easy to consume them in excessive quantities- they are habit-forming.

 

And, that cut back level of carbs needs to be long term.

 

Exercise should be something enjoyable, and, when it doubt, do less, rather than more- the key to sustaining any kind of regular exercise is being motivated to doing it, and not forcing yourself to stick so rigidly to a plan, that you start to hate it.

There's help out there . Weigh ahead is based at wicker pharmacy tht is designed for ppl with a high BMi or health issues. Or try your local go's ours now has a health trainer who offers healthy lifestyle advice inc food & exercise info. Zest at upperthorpe also runs schemes. It's about making changes to your lifestyle rather than a fad diet.

 

I've just started at weigh ahead & a helth trainer. I'm only on week one but I've learnt a lt, but have a way to go

 

Good luck with whatever you choose.

Burning off more calories than you consume is good advice. In fact, it's the only way to lose weight. It's also incredibly simple - I don't know why anyone bothers with specific diets. Besides, you're replying to a post which is 18 months old.

The best diet in my eyes... Is a raw vegan diet with lots of fresh vegetable juice.. No meat, no dairy, no animal products at all, no processed food and only all organic produce. Feel the difference in weeks of the change and never look back.

Average day:-

morning eat a bunch of bananas,

afternoon maybe a large watermelon,

snack on dates, nuts, seeds, grapes, berries and plenty of fresh vegetable juice throughout the day.

End with a large salad with lots of leafy greens avocado tomato cucumber and any other organic fruit and veg you like.

Anyone following this diet certainly needs a reliable toilet flush.

 

Not to mention plenty of toilet rolls on hand.
