Low GI + Kcal restriction diet, sounds ok?

Question

I'm preparing to start a diet to lose about 2 stone. I found this diet website that predicted that if i stuck to a 1400 kcal diet that by the end of Jan 2008 i'd be my target weight.

I've decided upon using a Low GI diet plan, sticking to the 1400 kcal allowance. I'm hoping it will keep my hunger pangs and cravings down which is probably the failing point for many dieters...

I was just wondering if my intentions sounded realistic and if anyone has had any success or failure while using a low GI diet also if anyone could suggest any really good UK diet forums :)

Thanks

1400kcal/day will BARELY ensure that you're getting all the essentials every day. I'd suggests 1500-1600kcal/day and a committed exercises plan.

If you're sold on 1400kcal/day, take a supplement to make sure you don't get a vitamin/mineral deficiency, and whatever you eat, make sure it's nutrient dense (eat the peel, darkest leafy greens possible, etc.)

yes, I think so. try eating small meals every 3 hours to keep your metabolism up and you won't get hungry. also drink plenty of water and exercise at least 30 minutes every day. good luck!
