Weight / Fat loss

I missunderstood you SB, I apologise- it was the "I challenge myself only" part. In the Truby 2006 study I mentioned earlier- WW came out as the second best weight loss, marginally behind Rosemary Conley (whoever that is)

@ SF that is pretty similar to what we're told in lectures:

1.Low fat, low energy density, low energy content, high fibre.
2.Replace saturated with monounsaturated fat, high GI with low GI foods, and increase protein (20% or greater)

@ spenceey- never completely remove carbohydrate, no, but a reduction isn't a bad thing. Your body only has that tiny bit of glycogen stored compared to anything from 5% fat (athlete) to around 24% (top end average) and even higher for fatter people (in other words even the skinniest person has c.3.25kgs of fat- but they can't lose it- its essential fat).
If you can manage to get the tricky balance right, then you will lose adipose fat, and fast. Hopefully by the end of this month I should have some interesting results/ ideas. I write down everything I eat or do, so hopefully from that I'll be able to work out which provided the optimum fat loss.

Hippy's advice is quite good.

In other words, I need non-revising time to spend on this. I'll see y'all on Sunday with my 1st weigh in.
