any ideas for a weight loss plan?

Question

I want to lose about a stone, gradually, so it stays off. I need to have some kind of a plan (can't do weight watchers etc as am about to move abroad). Don't want to do anything wacky or expensive!...any ideas? personal experiences?

Answer 1

Here is a place that reviews lots of weight loss programs, dieting aides, supplements and so on. Even has categories like diabetes, low fat and hypnosis. Pretty cool site.

http://www.reviewplace.com/cat-135-DietsWeightLoss--Top-10-Weight-Loss-Programs.html

Many of the programs listed have consumer reviews, so you can read what others think of it.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

I follow a yeast free diet for a month at a time.
It may sound a little extreme when the things that you have to cut out are listed but the food that you can have is natural and tasty and it makes sense in the long run.
This is not a fad diet by the way, I follow it to ease the symptoms of a medical condition.
OK the bad bit:
no wheat
no sugar (inc honey)
no alcohol
no caffeine
no soy
no fried
no dairy
These are yeast producing ingredients.
BUT you can have as many fresh fruit and vegetables etc as you want.
There are wheat free pastas that are easy to come by.
You can have rice and pulses.
potatoes in many forms.
I have started to put together some recipes so if you like a copy just email and i will send them to you.
The upside of this is the weight loss - I lost a stone in twenty days the first time that I tried this. It is not a miracle cure and if you go back to old eating habits then you will put on weight.
I now do the eating plan for a month at a time. After that I eat fairly sensibly with the odd slip into junk now and then.
I am just about to 'go strict' again after enjoying Christmas a little too much.
Good Luck.

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.

I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.

It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

Eat nourishing food with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables being part of it. Chew each morsel at least 32 times. This will activate signal to the brain as soon as u have had enough. Besides this change in eating style, take regular light exercises and brisk walks every day. U will be able to gain/shed all extra weight gracefully and in a reasonable time span.

Answer 5

1. Reduce your calorie intake
2. Drink plenty of water
3. Take regular exercise

These are the main factors in loosing weight. I did however do a simple diet before Christmas for just a month, normal daily exercise, drank plenty of water etc, but didnt mix my carbs. If you eat say a sandwich for lunch, have cheese on toast of something similar for tea. Dont have either: Pasta, Potatoes or Bread in the same day. So a bowl of spag bol say with a bit of crusty bread is out the of question for tea, however perhaps have a tuna pasta salad for lunch and spag bol for tea. Dont mix them, they love being together these carbs, and end up sticking to our hips. I lost 8lbs in about 3 weeks, and I have kept it off. Good luck

Answer 6

I dont know if you'll have interenet access wherever you are going, but weight watchers has an online program. For me I need the accountability of going to the meetings every week, but my sister in law loves the online program. She's lost 25 lbs, and kept it off this past year. If you dont like WW, I know there are similar online programs - I like WW because it's just common sense backed up by group support. Good luck. (btw, 5 weeks, down 14 lbs - and that's with all the holiday festivities!)

Answer 8

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/IClGp

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.
