Hi Everyone

  • Hi everyone im new to 3 fat chicks and i was wondering what diets people are on and how many calories they are on each day?
  • Well Im not really following any real diet Ive just cut my portions and eat lower fat foods. Ive also been exercising alot more. I do at least 20 mins of cardio 3 days a week and then do another 2 days of weight lifting. So far it's been working. Good Luck!
  • I am, as you well know, on the Cambridge diet...Claire is my lil sister btw....
  • I'm just exercising and eating more sensibly. When I say "just" exercising I don't mean that to sound trivial - I do a LOT of running, but I mean that there's nothing more scientific to my "plan" than that - I don't count calories and I eat any sort of food in moderation.

    Welcome!
  • I used to be on around 1100kcals, which is considered low, but now Im on around 1500kcals as If findng it hard to shift the weight.


    Oh, Hi! and btw!
  • I basically cut out the crap and the tooing and froing to my fridge from about 7pm till bedtime!!! Oh and I go to the gym 3 - 4 times a week.

    You and your sister can support each other and hello by the way Claire

  • Hello and welcome!
    I will let you know what diet I am on when I have found out myself! xx
  • Hi Claire

    I'm doing a combo of various things - counting low GI calories and exercising - walking for cardio and strength training. I'm trying not to look on this as a 'diet' but more as a complete change of lifestyle. (The old one wasn't much good!)

    Good luck with yours - are you counting calories as well?
  • Hello, another regular exerciser here. I keep a rough eye on my calories, but nothing too scientific, just trying to eat lots of fruit and veggies, good sources of carbohydrates and protein and cut out the junk. Working for me so far!
  • I'm on about 1400 cals walk approx 5 miles a day or go to the gym.
  • yeh im counting calories as well, but i dont do much exercise and i try to stick to 1400 calories a day because im baseing it on the slim fast diet even if sometimes i dont have the shakes, its like 250 calories for breakfast then a 100 calorie snack then 250 calorie lunch and a 100 calorie snack and then 600 calorie dinner and then another 100 snack
