Good diets? Preferably tried and tested!

I want to loose a stone, I've never dieted before but I'm by overweight either, I just want a flatter tummy without the hassle

well iv personally tried the atkins diet..and I highly recommend it..i lost 14 pounds in the first 2 weeks..and INCHES..love handles literally disappeared in a month..its a really good diet..the best thing though is I lost my appetite..

the way it works it you restrict carbs..so when you don't have carbs in your body..your body goes into ketosis..where it literally burns FAT tissue to survive..its like starving while eating..without sugars in tis system..the body doesn't produce insulin,which means MUCH less hunger...young body is literally eating itself so it doesn't send hunger signals..

the way it works is :

you eat 15g of carb [msot people eat 300+g of carbs daily]...

the carbs get stored in your liver as glycogen [the lvier can only store a little bit of carbs]

once your liver is full of carbs,it gets stored at fatty acids..aka FAT

you body will naturally tap intp your sugar supply throughouth the day,so if you keep eating carbs,it keeps burning them...

if there's NO carbs,your body has no choice but to burn fat tissue..at a very rapid weighth..

you will literally be PEEING away fat..

Similar to the comment below I'd say eat lots of fruit and steer clear of processed foods !

I go to the health shop and buy things to make muesli, it's uber cheap and because it's got oats in it it fill's you up ...I find myself not even wanting lunch most of the time.

Get a big air tight container and mix all the dry ingredients together. Before settling off for work I'll just grab my protein shake bottle and scoop out till it's about half full. Before adding milk I pour some honey on for added sweetness but you don't really need it because there's raisins in there but I've got a massive sweet tooth lol and my mum keeps bee's !

Heres what you need...

1. Big bag of oats

2. Flax seed small bag

3. Raisins or currents

4. MIxed nut's

5. Pumpkin seeds

6. Dried fruit

7. Pine nut's ( these are bit more expensive but v nice)

You can play around with what ingredients you add...this is just what I like. The just add milk and enjoy... Drinking lots of water plus exercise is crucial.

Don't eat to much fruit. Glucose and fructose put on fat. The common mistake people make when told "eat more fruits and vegetables" is they eat more fruit, and not many vegetables, yet they still gain weight. Eat several servings of vegetables and a couple servings of fruit a day.

[netsuke88]

Yeah I know where your coming from, it could be a problem if your binge eating fruit but as long as your not eating more than like five pieces a day. I agree though vegetables are often an over looked. I don't really eat to loss weight more to improve my health.

a stone is very easy to lose,just throw it somewhere. on a serious note-use motherf***ing metric-stones,feet-seriously? does that sound like a valid measuring system?

you should try going vegan,and don't eat a few hours before your bedtime,only drink water,and exercise daily for at least an hour.

Diet and exercise is your best bet. Stay hydrated with water and make sure you don't overeat. Cut down your portions as well as sugary foods. Stick to veggies, fruits, and meats that aren't fried. You really want to stay clear of red meats. Chicken and fish is your best bet.

All of this is good advice. But, if you have never dieted before I would suggest making one change at a time. Identify a big weakness (sugary drinks, greasy meals, a regular snack food) and replace that element of your diet. Don't just cut things out, because you will feel the need to compensate or to cheat. Instead, find a healthy replacement (sugarfree drink, a salad that you can eat regularly, or popcorn as a snack).

Big changes rarely last, but careful changes can last forever. And, when you see results you'll be motivated to make bigger changes in the future.

The thing is I eat really healthy already and have no weaknesses. I don't eat sweet thing, take outs, fast food ...

Eating a natural and organic well-balanced diet with exercise. Works really well. Avoid greasy, sugary, and fatty foods.

Eat only fruit for breakfast. Only fruit until noon every day.
