It is very early days, I started my diet Monday. However, I have lost 1 1/4 lb and my husband commented I looked like I had lost weight.

Onwards and Upwards. Now to add the exercise phase.... Nothing too strenuous.

I will be walking lots over the next month. And then in August we will be on a walking holiday......

Feeling positive.

Hi. I am 61 and have been overweight a lot of years in my life, there have also been times when I have mastered the diet and shed lbs (and a couple of stones). However I am feeling it is getting harder all the time and over the last 10 years have lost very little. Lose a couple during the week and put it on at the weekend.

I have mostly done low fat diets and recently the news has been that these just don't work and I am becoming to believe this.

Last Tuesday I started Dr. Michael Moseley's blood sugar diet. Basically it cuts carbs from your diet as carbs turn to sugar. There are many hidden sugars in the foods we buy and in particular low fat items as the fat that is taken out is replaced with sugar. From Tuesday to Saturday I lost 4lbs. I feel I have a lot more energy and am not hungry particularly when I get up in a morning and I find 2 meals a day is plenty.

I haven't followed it to the letter as I have only just got his book but I cut out all the major forms of carb, Potatoes, Pasta, Rice etc and have even had some high fat items like olive oil, butter and cream .......not gone mad with them but these help to keep you satisfied.

I urge all of you to look at this WOE and stop punishing yourselves as I have done over the years. The diabetes rates in folk are sky high and too much sugar is the reasons.

Just google it and see for yourselves. It's different to what we have done previously so don't just dismiss it.....give it a go.
