Advantages: just some more tips not a faddy diet

Disadvantages: none

I've tried so many of the fad diets and failed miserably. I went to weightwatchers and successfully got to my gold after a few months. The book showed how many points each food typically was. Having looked through the book I knew what was considered "good foods with low points" and what was "bad foods with high points". I left weightwatchers and have never gone back. I just keep an eye on the foods I eat. Below are some tips I go by;

- Don't deny yourself anything! If it's considered high calorie then have it in moderation and be good the rest of the day or week. when you start denying yourself things then that's when it gets hard.

- Make sure you eat less but often. I have a yoghurt and glass of milk or cereal & milk for breakfast, a small snack in the morning, a small lunch, a small snack in the afternoon and a proper dinner.

- Snacks may be a piece of fruit or a meringue nest (very low fat), a couple of marshmallows, or a piece (not a bar) of chocolate or sugar freejelly (which is incredibly low).

- When I go out for dinner with friends I either order a starter and main course or maincourse and dessert. my husband usually gets 3 courses so if need be I can try a bit of his. (Also saves money - which can be spent on clothes!)

- I don't have much time to exercise with 2 kids but I walk them to school when the weather permits.

- I try to make sure that the food we have for dinner is varied and exciting.

- I have cut out diet fizzy drinks and feel less bloated and have more energy.

I hope that a few of my tips help you.

Summary: don't deny yourself anything just have it in moderation!
