Claire Sutton mentioned this morning that the diet Catherine is following is featured in today's paper. You can read it online if anyone is interested.
So according to the link, its a six week how to get into your party dress.
Now I want to see Catherine in 4-6 months will she still be sticking to this diet?
A six week quick loss will not help you keep the weight off.
I wish everyone who had weight gain issues would adopt the 5:2 diet; it really has helped so many people.
Personally I doubt that Chuntley was ever a size 16 as stated in that article. After all Joy is also a size 16!
Usually women always say they are smaller than they really are, never up their dress size, unless of course they are part of a sales campaign for a weight loss programme.
It's the old before and after chestnut, tummy pushed out, tummy sucked in.
I'm rather amazed that Q presenters aren't allowed to be criticised whereas it is free reign for IW (no thoughts one way or other but did read some recent posts)
The trick is to find the diet that suits you. I couldn't stick to Catherine Huntley's diet regime but a simple eat-sensibly-but-slightly-less-and-do-simple-exercise regime works for me. The Bodyblade is essential for the exercise part of it and I've dropped a dress size in a few months. This isn't rocket science, it's plain common sense, but if it doesn't work for you, try something else till you find what's right for you.
Its not diets I'm hacked off with, its people who are on them ! I could lose a few pounds, but I've learnt to live with my body - if my clothes get tighter then I reduce my food intake - hardly rocket science, BUT people I know (friends of mine) who attend slimming classes and are on various diets, drive me nuts with their self congratulatory achievement at their weekly/monthly weight loss, and then wait for me to congratulate them - FOR WHAT ? managing to harness their lack of willpower ?
So, if you ARE on a diet, PLEASE don't bore your mates about your daily calorie intake, because once you start losing the dreaded pounds, that's all the conversation you have !
