The Diet Thread

[Gott]

While it may be true that a lifestyle change is usually preferred  to going "on a diet" because often people lose weight on a diet only to put it back on because they don't know how to keep it off afterward , diets still have their time and place and can be useful as a tool .

What are some of the diets you have tried and your experiences with them ?



Wasn't sure which section to put this in , but sports/health/fitness/dieting seem to go hand-in-hand

Pierre Ducan's protein diet works for me. I've been following it since 2008. I shed 20 kilos  & I've maintained the weight I achieved then. It's not the best diet in the world- you eat mainly proeteins & veg & it's not good for your heart & kidneys but it did its job for me & I'm in good shape. Lately I'm on a cig diet mostly

Alcohol, smoke and instant noodle diet when I was a wee bit younger.

Diets. Why are they always about "losing" or "gaining" weight? I have never ever followed any particular diet but I certainly watch what I eat and why. Same goes for certain food supplements. I drink do and everything (or some things) that god has forbidden in a very, very moderated way.

But since I saw Beyonce live from Glasto last night I thought for the first time in my life: "Shall I go to the gym then?" Wowsa!

Just trying to eat 'pure' foods, and no really fibrous stuff. No processed either.

I dont believe in diets.

I think that the key is to eat a little bit of everything. and by "everything" I mean healthy foods, mostly fruits and vegetables.

Depends on your metabolism. When younger, I ate like horse and was as skinny as ever. With age metabolism slows down. But people are different. Some need some kind of a diet, some don't.

I'm on a instant noodle diet if that counts

And this isn't a diet?

maybe it is... but I was rather thinking about the *organized* diets, the ones that tell you exactly what to eat and how much of it. like: have a tea with no sugar for breakfast with a toast and diet jam. Then have a roll of ham at 10 AM, for lunch have 300 gms of rice, etc

Just go running for one hour every day, or something similar (swimming is great).
Then you can eat and drink whatever you want.

Bit late, sorry. 
But really, a women needs a bit of love handles. How the hell are we supposed to hang on otherwise? 
No, but really, just read an article (yeah yeah, cliché, I know). According to it, 89% of all (Dutch) men prefer that their women have some nice curves.
