I'm also counting cals... I've worked out I should be taking in around 1200 -1250 cals a day and I can have pretty much anything I like as long as I account for it.. It makes me make better choices and I am having alot of fresh veg and salad along with my meals as it helps bulk it all out and fill me up.. but I can also have a little of the bad stuff too.. and just count it and cut back in other meals/areas or do more excercise... it's free to do and you can find the cal content of basicly everything online.. and I have alot of basic cals on my blog if you wanna take a look. Good luck
Hi all, I have just joined 3FC forum, about 15mins ago and I'm following the South Beach diet. Tried it a few years ago should have stayed on but strayed instead so now I'm back. Good to see a UK section. Good Luck to me and everyone else.
I'm doing slimming world. the meetings arent in my area, but i got the books from a friend and feel that its the right plan for me. I've done them all tbh, but this is the first one i've tried that makes sense.
I do low carb, low calorie, low fat & HIGH protein = Ideal Protein. I use all alternatives though Works for me! Lost 8lbs in 2 weeks AND almost 3 pants sizes! Can't argue with those results
I just eat healthy 95% of the time and 5% of the time treat myself, to make it realistic. I don't count or restrict anything, but I try to make good choices.
A major part of my success this time around is exercise though, it's really helping me to stay on track
