Diets

Diets work and they don't work. Almost all diets work...as long as you can stick to them (however they are almost always very hard to stick to because mostly you have to deprive yourself of particular foods - the ones you love of course, deprive yourself of eating anywhere close to the amount you need, eat or drink things you wouldn't ordinarily do so otherwise or be meticulous with buying the right foods and preparing it and therefore not living or socializing the way you would like. I've tried so many diets and so far the most pleasant ones are the ones that are more like lifestyle changes but give you slower results than perhaps you'd like (but more chance to keep the weight off). I've combined Paul McKenna's 4 Golden rules with "French Women Don't get Fat" and then take into account my pre-diabetes (which if I didn't have would making losing weight quicker). I do want to lose but I
want to be healthy doing it! ("French Women Don't get Fat" = compensations and figuring out what you could 'afford to go without' and which things you absolutely have to have in order to make you happy and enjoy your food and to make sure you move your body).
