atkins imo was the best for me...
I don't eat much veg anyway, I can do without bread and potatoes...
wake up. Have a few slices of cheese and a few pieces of plain chicken from the fridge.
Lunch time have a small pack of peanuts (low carb ones).
Dinner time have a meat dish with a few green beans, (unbread crumbed chicken / beef burger / lamb / pork etc)
For pudding have some sugar free jelly.
... And excercise / cardio / do weights at the same time.
My record weight loss on that was about 10 pounds in 7 days. (Although a lot of the weight you initially lose are glucose deposit / water)...
Using this I went from 13 stone 3 to 9 stone 8.
Boring as fuck, but sheds the fat and by no means actually 'healthy for you' - hence only good for short bursts. (Beware though, if you get anything wrong and have more than 15g carbs a day, the reverse will happen and you'll expand.... Read every label carefully! assume nothing, i.e. drinks often are packed full of sugar and carbs).

No  I weigh 11 stone 5 now
I probably weighed 9 stone 8 when you knew me Reedy.
My 'normal' weight is about 10 stone 5 and what I'm planning to get back down to, but going travelling and drinking beer every day for 6 months had a interesting effect on my weight / beer gut
I think one of the issues I'm finding now going solely on 'weight' is I've bulked up more in terms of muscles, so to be 10 stone 5 now would mean i'd be pretty ripped, where before i just looked 'average' as there was no muscle under neathe (one of the downsides of losing weight so fast is you lose muscle as well as fat).

Yeh i kept getting interupted about week 3 / 4 and having to start again. Just ordered a 'iron gym' pull up bar - where I live now is ace too as there's load of woodland to run around, started doing some interval training today, sprinting for 25 secs as fast as I possibly can, then 1 min rest, then sprinting for 25 secs etc... I read something interesting about how your body uses the fat / carbs doing exercise the other day that completely changed my mind set on everything. Previously running non stop for 40 mins was no where near as good as doing on / off / on / off style training. It also explains why doing weights / exercises in sets can also burn a lot of fat.

Ive got one of those bars. Absolutely destroys the door frame work.
I use my for doing push ups off the floor, seems to be harder and also forces you out of bad habits with press ups.
Also i think the RAF do a similar training with the "on/off" running.

Eat a balanced diet. Include food from all food groups, drink plenty of water and excercise every day. Walk, run etc. Best diet ever.

Yeah bar looks good for my wrists as they're weak...
on / off training is better in so many ways, basically it's pushing your body to go faster / get stronger, in a similar way to having to increase the weights you do when building biceps... slogging along at a steady pace for 40 mins won't really get you much progress...
Secondly, half of the metabolism of fat / carbs, is the fact that it fuels your muscles along with oxygen. When you run hard you semi starve your muscles of this, it's only when you slow down again it gets refilled ... (essentially your body has enough supply for a really big burst of energy for about 15-20 seconds... This is that 'second wind feeling' when you're already knackered and can suddenly push really hard for a few seconds... Each time you basically use this up, your body has burnt up its current quick supply of energy (carbs / fat) ... only when you slow down a bit can it catch up to replace this properly... So doing on / off, you're basically burning it all off, then letting it all 'refill', then burning it all off...)
- running non stop for 40 mins doesn't really do this, hence you feel a lot more fatigued (as your body is feeling like it's running on limited energy sources)... Plus it never really 'pushes you' - so it never gains much... you'll always only be able to do those 40 mins at the same steady pace...
Where as doing interval style training you'll be able to increase your pace and stamina.

So you've been losing roughly a stone per month Karl? That's amazing. I can testify that slimming world works well, but going on what Karl just said and by what I've with others, you pile the weight back on twice as quick. 7 pound weight gain from cough syrup is obscene! It's not a diet you could maintain in the long run imo. Like any diet of slimming worlds nature, it's a quick fix for fast weight loss. Keeping the weight off is the real struggle. I personally think it's best to develop a healthy well balanced diet, and exercise. Cut out the junk and start making good meals.

Just cutting down on portions and cutting out snacks will help.

quite simple, if you want to lose weight then you need to burn more calories then you are consuming.

Yeah long term definately, but short term losses requires more imo...
Your body is good at adapting to small changes, hence most people's weight stays roughly the same for a long time... if you eat healthy and make no other effort you'll probably not lose much weight, just stay the same... (which is ideal if you're already at a weight you're happy with)... I'm saying in the short term, you need to have a extreme diet / plenty of exercise to shave the lbs, then slowly / progressively phase it out to stop a yo yo diet effect and then finally switch to a healthy diet for normal life to maintain the new low weight.

just over a stone a month after 3 months/13wk i'd lost 4st 2.5lb then wk 14 i lost another 8.5lb then wk 15 i put on 7lb....think really that wk14 shouldn't have lost 8.5lb think cause i had started with swine flu i might have sweated out 3lb of water which after i'd rehydrated for last week helped my 7lb gain......still had a good week this week and it's the scales on monday
