    Doing that has not resulted in one lost kilo over several months. What worked for me was "grazing". I eat a normal breakfast and at lunch time I start eating small bits of fruit, grapes etc and continue all afternoon then eat a normal dinner. The weight just fell off but then I experimented by stopping that routine and it cam back. Every medico says we have to keep the metabolism working and in my case it seems to work.

    Haven't tried Body Trim, but I've lost 25 kilograms over 18 months with some very basic knowledge:

    - If your body is missing nutrients it tells you by making you hungry. Rarely can your body tell you what it wants, it simply says, "I'm hungry!” So, if you intake the most vital nutrients on a daily basis, you simply don't get hungry. No motivation required. No special plan.
    - Eat real food. Highly processed foods don't provide you with *any* nutritional value. Even breads and pasta have next to no value other than lots of energy which need to be burned or stored. Eat as much raw food as possible; plants and animals.
    - You *must* intake carbohydrates on a daily basis. This doesn't mean bread and pasta though, sugars are the most essential carbohydrates and the best sources are fresh fruits. Our bodies have evolved to utilise Fructose, Glucose and Sucrose found in fresh fruit to maintain good digestive health, stabilise blood sugars (not particularly intuitive is it ) and keep your metabolism pumping. Eliminating all carbohydrates is dangerous.
    - Protein, you can't have too much, unless you're pregnant.
    - Water, without it you can't digest foods or integrate nutrients into your body. Just as important as how much you intake is the flow of fluids; you body needs water to flush poisons and contaminants out. If they aren't flushed away daily your body reacts by increasing insulin levels (amongst other hormones) and trapping them inside fat cells.

    Here is a brief list of the things I intake on a daily basis: One vitamin supplement, three serves of protein, at least four pieces of fruit, at least two serves of veg, at least 1 litre of water. This change alone has brought me about 5kg away from 'normal' BMI.

    You may have noticed that I haven’t mentioned exercise. Some of this will simply makes the process faster and more enjoyable.

    I do suggest though, that you read very carefully what you agree to when you sign up otherwise you could find money being deducted from your Visa account each month.

    Go for it as it works a treat!

    Wow that was a great effort Colin and a inspiration

    Well I got the Body Trim diet and started it last week. I lost 3.1 Kilo in 5 days so I am happy with that. Still got a way to go but the encouragement here has been great.

    Good on you John! I lost a similar amount in the first week and then nothing the next then 2kg the next.
    Don't worry if you do not seem to lose weight some weeks, you will find though that your measurements (waist etc) change and your clothes are a bit looser. Just your body re-arranging itself!
    Don't make the mistake of weighing yourself every day, just weigh yourself once a week and do that on your "Free day" first thing in the morning.
    That way you will notice the difference.

    Hang in there and keep us posted.

    Colin.

    Ray, you were the one who caused my problem telling me it was ok to eat chocolate if I broke it in half so all the calories would escape.

    Default Diet weight loss

    Update on my diet. Have just had my weekly "weigh in" and to date have lost in total 6.6 kilos. Thats 14.52 pounds or fraction over 1 stone in the old language. This is the end of the fourth week of the diet. Started the diet at 101.7kilos and now at 95.1kilos. Still got a way to go but its encouraging.
