I have been plagued by fibroids for the last four years, although they were probably around for a long time before that. As I said in my review on the Hysterectomy website, I have been told that surgery was the only option and I have been seeking alternatives. I have always battled with weight problems, being a chef doesn't help one ...

There are loads of books and diets around, but you dont really need them. Just follow a few simple guidelines. The most important thing of all is motivation. If you have that the rest is easy. Im cant give advice on getting motivation, it has to come from within. Work out what you want, REALLY want. Diet for yourself, not for ...

I didn't quite know what category to put this under, so if you think it's a bit obscure, I'm sorry. As someone who is constantly on a diet, I am always looking for different food that is low in fat to make diets a bit more manageable.

I have been improving my diet in an effort to lose weight. I studied nutrition years ago, but knowing it and doing it are two different things! One of the things I have been doing is having a brazil nut a day. Doesn't sound like a major change, but it has a lot of beneficial effects. That is because brazil nuts are high in selenium. ...

Whatever next? Once considered to be the official equivalent of chalk and cheese, the mere mention of me and diets in the same sentence is enough to put a puzzled look onto the faces of most of the people with whom I am acquainted. I was, and I do stress the word was, one of those people that could eat and drink whatever they wanted and ...

People put on weight because they eat too much; i.e. they take in more calories than they need. However, starving ourselves is not a sound strategy to prevent being overweight. Starchy foods such as bread, potatoes, pasta and rice should not be blamed for making us fat. Starchy foods are very bulky and contain a lot of water. It is, therefore, ...

I need to change. Since my mid teens I have struggled with my weight. I finally lost a mammoth 3 stones in 1999, and then found out I was pregnant. I kept the weight off, and it was only when I was at home with my newborn daughter that Jaffa Cakes became my new best friends, and the weight crept back on. I was so disappointed with myself. ...

I've written another opinion about my eating habit/problem, whatever you want to call it, so I won't go into my history here. Suffice to say, I totally stuffed up my metabolism. I yoyo dieted until I was ginormous and miserable and unhealthy. My body went into starvation mode and my metabolism slowed to almost a halt. Before you ...

I have tried and usually failed with every diet in the book. I was never desperately overweight, even after having two children, but the extra stone and a half which had piled on over the years was giving me a bit of concern. I stopped and took a good long look at my diet and eating habits. I have a healthy diet, follow all the ...

If like me you could do with losing a couple of pounds, and have tried your utmost to do so, with little success, then I may be able to help. I came across this diet somewhere and the wife and I decided to give it a go, but before I tell you what the diet is I want to give you all a few tips. By and large most diets don’t work on ...

I will start by saying, for anyone reading this who actually knows me, that I know all the theory but find it difficult to put into practice – OK? I have battled with my weight ever since I can remember constantly trying to loose a bit here and there but never keeping it off even when I do manage to loose some. The only ...

At the beginning of 2001 there were more obese people than there were starving people, which is alarming considering that over half the female population are at this moment on a diet. We are consuming less calories than our ancestors, yet are getting bigger and bigger. Therefore the question that needs to be asked is not why are we ...

Before I had my daughter I was 8 1/2 stone but a year after she was born I was 10 stone 10 Ibs and horrified. I felt I had to lose weight and got myself in a right state and I felt that I was ugly etc but however having I child as we all know and working full time does not leave much time for thinking and doing healthy meals. I felt I had to do ...

Great tip for a diet. Everyone knows for the best way to slim is to mintain a balanced diet, with fruit, veg, fibre, and meat whatever. A lot of people I have spoke to (mainly women) who are on a diet tend to just stop eating good food and have a cracker now and again or the odd sweet or biscuit. My sister has been on a diet for about a ...

WHAT IS IT? XENICAL is a lipase inhibitor that targets the absorption of fat in your body for the purpose of obesity management rather than suppressing your appetite by acting on the chemicals in the brain like many amphetamine-type diet aids which reduces the desire to eat, dampening the appetite ? (reductil is the newest of these drugs). ...

In the past few weeks, I have begun to assess my general health. I've noticed that I have put on a bit of weight, that I've been a bit more lethargic, and that in general, I just haven't been feeling very good.
