ok diet advice. ask me - i have just lost nearly 10kg in 6 weeks, and feeling fantastic. nothing else budged my gut. i eat all the raw fruit, vegetables, nuts and sprouts i want. on this diet, just stay full - of goodness. millions of fantastic recipes. nothing cooked or processed. all living food. i feel better and the weight is falling off. you get plenty protein/calcium etc too, so forget the meat and dairy propaganda.

it works.

"if you want to succeed, ask the people succeeding how they did it".

I've been on a restricted calorie uh... meal plan for a little while now. I've lose about 1.5 lbs a week and I eat whatever I want: ice cream, chocolate, pasta, meat, etc. I just eat a lot less of it. I take very small portions, eat them, ignore my immediate hunger and wait 20 minutes before I decide if I'm still actually hungry and if so, eat another small portion. I've found that amounts of food that I thought would never satisfy me just take some time to kick in. I also eat a piece of fruit or a 6 oz yogurt between meals which keeps me from binging at the end of the day.

I do count calories (roughly), so maybe that helps. I also re-adjust the number of calories I intake weekly based on weight change - too much weight loss means I add more calories to my diet so I don't feel like I'm missing out and blow my die... er meal plan, too little and I drop my calorie intake by a little bit.

This probably won't work for everyone. I know the extreme diets of limiting sugar or limiting fat or what not sometimes help people. Personally I find cravings too much to bear.

Some people are sexier heavier.
Not all skinny people are sensual or sexy.
This is one of the myths that is shoved down our throats.

Weight is primarily a HEALTH issue and what people find as
sexy is not the same across the board.

There is no set formula for sex appeal : one size does not fit all.
The idea of sexy has been corrupted by mass marketing to sell diet books,
magazines, movies & processed foods.

We need to eat healthier and exercise to be healthy. Period.
That ought to be enough of a selling point if we value ourselves enough.

If that had been the salient point that we were taught,
there would not be a billion dollar diet industry.

Finally a plan with some divine idea about learning self control. Terrific. I
AM going to begin right now. Thanks. Many foods to avoid. ICE CREAM
SHOULD BE MADE ILLEGAL.
