Diets? How many can you list??

[OOnion]

I only took them for two days, I spent the whole day and night cleaning the cooker with a toothbrush...never dare take them again after that, I looked just like the lad out of Quadrophonia with saucer eyes!! ha ha How I managed to get them out of the Dr as I only weighed about 12 stone at the time!!

 

[flowerofshona]

JeeZ!!! And they ask you to do a weight managment program for 6 months......ill be showing them the diets I HAVE done and asking if that covers their 6 months expectancy lol

 

[Caren]

[Fuffs]

I have done most mentioned. Some several times. Also done:

Reductil pills from GP
You are what you eat
Exante
Avidlite
Other meal replacements
Dr Charles Clarke
A few other variations on low carb
Tesco diets
Low calorie

I have joined slimming clubs more times than I care to think of lol

Cabbage soup diet made me feel sick by day 5. Even did the cabbage soup diet pills, fibre diet pills, fat burner pills and any others I could get my hands on.

And yet I am so fat! Lol

Weight watchers x 2 (never got on with the
fandangled points system, always found
calorie counting easier)

Slimming World x 2 (did quite like the red and
green days but only lost about 2 stones
after quite a few months on each attempt)

Cambridge Diet x 3 attempts

Lighter Life x 2 attempts

Rosemary Conley x 4 attempts (most successful
attempt was in 2007 in which I managed
to lose 4 stone after a six months -- but
at that point it weight loss became hard,
and eventually started to creep back up)

Orlistat / Xenical -- prescribed by GP in 2003

=========================

Was first taken to Weight Watchers aged 13 by my mother. I think I only weighed around 10½ stone and my mother thought I was "plump" and should do something about it ..... my mother was even less overweight than that but only joined WW to push me into doing something.

I think that first experience of joining WW at 13 when really I was a perfectly normal weight (I was already 5'6" tall by that time) set the ball rolling for a lifetime of disappointment, feeling that I *should* diet ......... etc, and the weight always going higher after each failed diet.

Started seeing the dietician at 12.

But apparently I was put on my first diet as a newborn! The nurses told my mum her 11lb baby was too big and had to have soya milk to lose some weight!!!

Its funny in hindsight but I can see why my mum was always telling me to watch my weight - at 10 years old I was skinny! Last time too.

 

[Big an Bouncy]

Ayds yummy toffees that I ate as well as food!
Limmits biccys that went the same way!
Every time I walked into ww or slimming world classes I just knew I would lose 2st and then put it all on plus more!Why we bought into the 'slimming industry'I dont know.Dieting makes you fat.Fact.

 

[Raynebubble]

i tried that madonna popcorn diet and put on 2lb!!!

 

[novamay]

Gosh, I remember one that involved copious amounts of beetroot and a tablespoon of peanut butter, green beans and vanilla ice cream to follow.... bizzare combo!

I have done most of the usual suspects - mainly sticking to SW in my later years.

I did WW at 8 years old and one and off over the years. I blame it for messing up my thyroid at age 22. I'd put on a few pounds one week and the class leader gave me this 'quick start' diet sheet to do. I stuck to it rigidly and put on over half a stone by the following weigh day. She accused me of basically being a lying lazy fattie in front of the whole class - well you can imagine how I felt ... I was so humiliated by this that I made an appointment with my GP to see about having my teeth wired and instead he tested my thyroid because I was so upset - it was extremely low and I have been on thyroxine ever since. I'll never ever have anything to do with WW again.

Slimfast and orlistat/reductil bunged me up - didn't lose a pound on these. Scottish Slimmers, weight management through the GP and SW - I lose a stone/stone and a half and then get bored and give up. Cambridge - the only pounds lost here were the £'s my mum paid putting me on this when I was 13 years old.
