Hey Anyone ever use Hoodia mint diet tabs..if so what did you think? ( Archived) (29)

Fad Diet

Ok..let me think...

Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Only recently started eating brekkie..Special K

Lunch..brown bread sambo...or wrap

Dinner...1 WW meal, or...2 eggs and 2 slices of WW bread..yogurt (low fat)

Drink bout 2 litres of water per day...3 mugs of coffee

Exercise..1 hours power walking 4 days per week

Very rough estimate of things

Generally don't eat rubbish..cut it out..if I do...I penalise myself by not eating lunch......

I dunno where I'm going wrong..also started Vibro Plate 3 days per week....jusr complete 17 weeks of Salsa dancing..

LOL........Hence I'm looking for a push

Eat a Mediterranean diet, and drink plenty of water and do regular exersise and you'll have weight fall off gently and it will stay off.

Mind you if you want an express way to loose weight walk into a respiratory wing of a hospital and sit near people with pneumonia, i absolutely guarantee you'll loose weight!

If it works for her....not so much a fad then is it

Same as weight watchers works for some.
Jenny Craig for others
Nutrisystem for yet others
Atkins for the extremely disciplined

The key is to find what works and do it.

As for the plateau....I've been on one myself. I know part of the reason is because I've been fudging a little, which is a good thing because it shows that once I get to where I want to be I should be able to fudge a little and not gain.....I've also slacked off a little on the workouts...of course it's summer so I've switched to working out in the mornings, which doesn't give me much time to vary my routine because I have to get to work on time (I don't like working out in the heat). Once cooler weather sets back in I'll be able to ramp it up again after work. But for now, as long as I'm maintaining, it's a good thing. So don't beat yourself up Ella...oh yeah, and you might want to make sure that you're taking in at least 1,200 calories a day...any less than that isn't good for you (as found in the Weight-Loss Bible by Betsy A. Hornick, M.S., R.D....as in registered dietitian).

Shame on you Robbie...lol That should only be wished on your enemies.

Thanks Guys for your advise,,,bloody dieting,,,,,but hey we all have our quirks...LOL...

I'm no expert but i have been on a diet for the past couple of weeks for digestion problems rather than to lose weight but i have lost a bit of weight. I'm not allowed to have any dairy products, only red meat once a week and can't eat bread or anything with wheat in it. You could always give that a go....

Switch to either oatmeal or shredded wheat these are the only two serials you allowed to buy everything else is way over processed , (oatmeal is not readybrek it is 100% oats)

What I like to do in the morning is blend oatmeal with eggs , some cinnamon and some baking powder then I cook it as an omelette it comes out like a pancake type thing , normally I do 600g egg whites and 100g oats but you will need to figure out how much you need based on you calorie requirements for the day (minus 500 cal’s which will mean 1lb weight loss per week)

Mid morning snack I normally have some chicken or a protein shake



No bread no wrap , have some lean meat veg (Deli/processed meat is not lean)

Mid afternoon same as mid morning



Get rid of everything ww , Dinner should be lean meat and veg or a veg omelette ,



add at least another L and no sugar or milk in the coffee

coffee Is thermogenic (it increases the metabolism)


Let me put it this way power walking is better than nothing


Bad Idea very bad that will put you body into starvation mode , You need to divide your daily calorie allowance up into 5-7 meals so that you can eat every 2.5-3 hours this keeps the metabolism revving



Don’t bother with the Vibro Plate If you can pay for Vibro Plate you can pay for a gym membership



Sound's to me like you finshed time to start 17 more weeks

Every meal should have protein in it , there is no better diet in the world for dropping body fat than “high protein, moderate-low fat and low carbs , you do need to eat some fats if you don’t your body will simply store fat because it thinks it’s not going to get any more , I leave the egg yokes (good fats) out at breakfast simply because I go to the gym straight after , your highest calorie meal schould be breakfast, carbs should be tapered off threw out the day (ie most of them should come from breakfast oats) , normally I have a tub of cottage cheese before going to bed , it’s slow acting protein help to stave off the dreaded starvation mode during the night

There is so much info (carb cycling ,calorie cycling and so forth ) I cant type it all out if you want send me a pm and I will send you a link to some sites that can help (I don’t want to post links on the forum)

dont worry about him he's be doing the same on other threads

I certainly wouldn't go down the road of taking diet pills though. Maybe I'm being over cautious here but i think thats just asking for trouble. If you have never tried them before, you really don't know how addictive they can be.....JMO
