Say 'No' to diets

As I've said before diets only work so long as you're doing them. You get to your target weight and then start eating the cakes again and getting lazy with the exercise.

Weight Watchers & Slimming World - you're paying someone to weigh you and tell you what to eat. Although there is the motivation of humiliation if you fail and support if you succeed, and if you're spending money you'll stick to it, right? All your friends go so it's a support network and it's working, for now. No doubting it does work for some people. But here is a suggestion: Why don't you all arrange to meet up, at each others houses? No doubt you have scales, you can cook a healthy meal, get the wii Zumba out and it's all free! You all know what you should be eating. Do you really need to pay for a diet plan?

Any quick fix is akin to crash dieting. If all you're eating is one food, or even worse: drinking and not eating, it's not going to be healthy for you. Sure, you'll lose the weight but you'll also feel ill and put all the weight back on as soon as you start eating normally. Don't be fooled by detox diets either. If you want to flush out your toxins then drink that magical water more.

Realistically, if you start on a diet then that has to be your way of life, permanently. No more cakes, takeaways and beer. Really?!
