is because you’ve dumped a few pounds of body fluid and muscle, and not because you’ve lost any significant amounts of body fat.
- Diets sap energy – Too little food means not enough energy for physical activity.
- Diets lower your metabolism – Dieting causes your body to conserve energy, making results harder to achieve.
- Diets are unhealthy – A cycle of rapid weight loss followed by weight gain can lead to a loss of lean tissue from your body and calcium from your bones. It also strips the body of essential vitamins and minerals.
- Diets make food the enemy – Food provides nourishment and comfort. Diets can make you afraid to eat, depriving you of one of life’s pleasures.
- Diets cheat your confidence – Going from one failed diet to the next can leave you feeling depressed and create a cycle in which guilt battles against food.
Regular physical activity and a healthy, balanced diet aren’t as glamorous as the quick fixes, but they do get better results.
· A wide variety of foods.
· Regular and enjoyable exercise.
· Enough filling foods to avoid constant hunger.
· At least 1200 calories a day.

· A realistic goal of your best weight (not necessarily your lowest weight.)
· Exercise is not necessary.
· Certain exercises can spot reduce.
· Carbohydrates (for example, bread, potatoes, rice, and pasta) are fattening.
Research on people who have successfully lost a lot of weight and kept it off long term, shows that the vast majority succeeded by consuming a low fat diet high in fibre coupled with strength training and cardiovascular activity.
These are the basics you’ll need to aim for.

· Buy a cheese slicer
· Cut the visible fat from meat.
· Eat very little pastry.
· Learn how to read a food label.
· Substitute low fat yoghurt for cream.
· Remove the skin from chicken and turkey.
