Slimming groups are a business.
Repeat customers are what keep business' in business.
Its not in their best interests to have customers who loose, and keep that weight off, so whatever method they sell will only be a temporary fix.
Loosing weight isnt something you can do temporarily, it has to be a complete lifestyle change permanently.
I lost a stone a month for 4 months, for medical reasons, so I had great motivation.
I cut out all white flour products like bread, pasta, pastry etc, and also cut down massively on starchy and high-carb veg like potatoes, rice etc.
It is hard, but there are alternatives out there.
After the weight loss, I re-introduced (in moderation) some lower carb alternatives, like brown bread etc.
I now maintain a healthy weight, allow myself a (sensible) cheat day maybe once a week, and am always looking at labels on food I buy to compare Carb amounts.
I wont lie, there are days when I crave the treats I used to scoff, like haribos, crisps, and chocolate, but I just remember the reason why I did it and then go look for sugar free, low carb alternatives. |
