Weight / Fat loss

It IS starvation, because as soon as you stopped your diet you put weight back on... Two stone I think you said. Less calorie deprivation and more exercise equals long term permanent weight loss, not a yoyo diet.

No Shoosh, I put weight back on because I ate too much and wasn't exercising enough due to a knee injury. This had nothing to do with any diet I'd been following. If I had eaten less and been able to exercise more the weight would not have crept back on.
