The Diet That Worked For MeI Have Had A Lot Of Issues And Problems With My Weight. It Has Had A Major Effect On My Life, It Knocked My Confidence And I Had An All Round Low Self-esteem.A Couple Of Years Ago I Decided To Do Something About It, To Try To Lose Some Of My Excess Fat. I Had Heard Of Many Different Types Of Diet Most Of Which I Felt Were Not Suitable For Me And Even Sounded Disgusting.I Decided On Self-help, Doing It My Way. I Knew That Exercise Would Need To Be A Factor, However Was Not Willing To Join A Gym. Gyms Seem Full Of People Who Are Already Thin! I Started To Walk A Lot More Instead Of Driving Everywhere, And Started To Play Tennis Again, Even Though I Must Admit Am Pretty Rubbish It. I Am Not Exactly The Most Athletic Person And This Basically Was All The Exercise I Did.The Main Reason I Was Overweight Was Because Of My Poor Diet. I Like To Eat The Types Of Food You Are Told Not To. I Love Pizzas, A Curry, Chips, Peanuts And Especially Alcohol. Most People I Knew Would Tell Me To Cut Out All Of These From My Diet Completely- Get Real! Sorry, Thats Not Possible, I Enjoy Them Too Much.I Thought About What To Do And Decided That I Would Start To Write Down Everything I Ate. I Would Eat A Healthy Breakfast And Then Would Try Not To Eat Until Lunch. I Am Somebody Who Loves To Snack, Eating Crisps And Chocolate Especially. I Knew That To Not Eat Anything Until Lunch Would Be Difficult But I Had A Plan. Whenever I Felt Hungry Or A Desire For Food I Would Eat A Polo Mint Or If At Home Would Clean My Teeth. Sounds Crazy But It Worked For Me! I Would Also Not Eat Between Lunch And My Evening Meal. The Evening Meal Would Be My Biggest Meal Of The Day And Would Include Anything I Wanted Including Chips. On The Weekend I Would Always Treat Myself To A Takeaway And Would Allow Myself Some Alcohol.This Type Of Diet Needs A Lot Of Discipline And Character, However You Do Not Have To Do That Much Exercise Or Cut Any Type Of Food From Your Diet.Good Luck.
