How to loose weight without diet clubs

You don't need diet clubs to lose weight

It's really quite simple

You eat a nice healthy balanced diet with a few less calories. You avoid the sugar and cakes, you do more exercise and burn off some of that fat. It doesn't actually cost anything, but it dose require willpower.



Why do Weightwatchers and other diet food brands exist? Do women on a slimming diet really have to jump on someone else's commercial bandwagon? Eating less should cost less, not more.

27-2-2010 Edward W. I couldn't agree more. Weight control is so simple - if you burn more calories than you consume, you'll lose weight. I pity people who pay good money to join some madcap scheme to learn a 'secret' of weight loss. If you are fat, you are eating too much. I've given that...moreArt Rosenheim
16-2-2010 I would doubt I would suffer from calcium loss, I eat such a healthy diet, but thanks for the tip. I eat plenty of cheese, cream in my coffee, a little meat and fish. My main item of food is loads of salads and low carb foods like olives, cheese, a few eggs per week. I will bear what you say in ...moreNikki
16-2-2010 Hi Nikki, A very high protein diet can lead to loss of calcium in the bones so it can be worth getting bone density checked if it is a long term eating plan rather than a "diet". Well done on the weight loss though!Sally
15-2-2010 It is similar to the Atkins Diet, Slim. I have a very low metabolic rate, with very low blood pressure, and I have lost 6 kilos since the new year, which is phenomenal for me. I have cut out all carbs. Carbs are poison - we do not need them. A diet rich in protein, some animal fat with loads ...moreNikki
15-2-2010 I went from 87.5kgs down to 78kgs in 3 weeks. I followed the Dr Pierre Dukan regime: basically 5 days of protein only, for example; Breakfast; scrambled egg and smoked salmon (as much as you want) Lunch; breast of chicken (remove the skin) as much as you want Dinner; slab of white fish (as mu...moreSlim

05-2-2010 Miserablemoaninggit and to everyone else who is trying to lose weight, good luck and aim to enjoy the food and/or exercise you opt for.Cauliflower
01-2-2010 Cauliflower, thanks very much for taking the trouble to give some details of your fantastic weight loss. I've decided not to purchase any more cakes, biscuits or sweets - I mentally calculated how many I had consumed over the space of just a couple of days and it was quite surprising how much ...moremiserablemoaninggit
29-1-2010 Miserablemoaninggit, with the "minor calorific adjustments" theory ringing in my ears I set a ceiling of 2,000 "perceived" calories per day ("perceived" meaning the assumption of an optimism bias of 10%, with the real term intake probably being 2,300 calories). To mee...moreCauliflower
28-1-2010 Miserablemoaninggit, I keep reminding myself not to feel smug about this for I reckon I just got lucky with something that worked for me. Good luck to everyone else who tries their own way.. In my case I'm afraid that I have nothing to offer in the way of a "neat" methodology or pla...moreCauliflower
27-1-2010 Cauliflower, quite simply, you have my admiration. To go from 21 stone to 11 stone is a fantastic achievement and my admiration is tinged with some real 'envy'. I know you might say it is obvious, but I'd love to hear a few details about your low calorie diet, if you wouldn't mind...moremiserablemoaninggit
27-1-2010 Can I gripe about your gripe? For many thousands weight and self-image is an important part of their lives, whether we like it or not. Slimming clubs, gym, diets do genuinely help people to lose weight in a way that they feel comfortable with (sometimes after a few wrong turns!) and in many case...moreDaveE
