Low Calorie/Low Fat Diets
Low calorie diets are essentially low fat diets. They work on the basis that fat has approximately 9 calories per gram and carbs have approximately 4 and, therefore, if you cut out fat from your diet (or reduce it dramatically) you are automatically reducing your calorie intake. We then have the same problems that we [...]

Hi there – I just wanted to let people know that I have removed a blog from this section. It upset a few people and it was not intended to do so and I apologise for any offence caused. I blog most days and did what I thought was a fairly standard blog about another [...]
Read more »A review of The Atkins Diet
The vast majority of diets are trying to get people to eat less (i.e. fewer calories). They are based on the idea that, if you eat less, your body will use up fat reserves in place of the missing energy. If only this were true! The body will first and foremost make you hungry, to [...]

Reported in the Sunday Papers today – apparently desperate dieters are rushing to snap up the latest ‘miracle’ product – a cream that promises to melt away fat.

I’ve just watched the first episode of this programme and never has my book title “Stop Counting Calories & Start Losing Weight” seemed more appropriate. First of all – don’t you just love Anna Richardson?! She is one of my fave presenters – so natural, so approachable, so ‘one of us’ and good on her [...]

He claimed that promotion of unhealthy foods and diets has fostered over-eating and an obsession with eating only ‘good’ foods. He was set [...]

In July 2009, I was asked by Bella magazine to comment on 3 ‘fad/mad’ diets – are they really mad, or are any of them OK? The 3 diets were: 1) the Hollywood cookie diet- eat 4 calorie counted, expensive, cookies a day and not much else; 2) the ‘caveman’ diet – eat meat, fish, [...]

I went to the Wales National Obesity Forum conference yesterday and there were promotion stands around the hall – Lighter Life were there, Rosemary Conley was there, drug companies were there. But at least Coca Cola weren’t! (However the Chief Medical Officer for Wales couldn’t get a drink of water – the fridge was full [...]

This article is so useful – because hopefully most people read this and saw it for the stupid madness that it is and my hope is that the same people start questioning all the other mad claims attached to the Mediterranean diet…. “Eating a Mediterranean diet could cut your risk of depression by 30%, according [...]

This is totally worth going on the Daily Mail web site for – search on the article title and/or date and a double page article should appear. It will be worth it for the picture of Ms Lighter Life, Jackie Cox, herself - the woman is as wide as she is tall and this is [...]
