Juicing works, it’s just not maintainable unless you make the commitment to continue juicing several days a week and substituting several meals with juices. It needs to be long lasting commitment otherwise these diets are just a fad really.Why won't juicing help loose weight? It's giving your body lots of vitamins and at about 150 cals it's less than breakfast. It's only for breakfast when I have time.
I'm also trying to stop snacking after dinner and leave a reasonable window. No more snacks at 10pm them breakfast at 7am
Thank you. Actually I quite like this juicing thing. I've been doing it for a month and it makes me feel good. I don't make it difficult and that I have to do it everyday. But a couple of times a week for breakfast is really working. I can see me doing it long term.Juicing works, it’s just not maintainable unless you make the commitment to continue juicing several days a week and substituting several meals with juices.

Low carb has always worked well for me and very quickly. I try to restrict carbs Monday to Friday and eat whatever I want at weekends carb wise. It doesn’t feel restrictive as high protein and veg is filling. There are so many carb substitutes these days too or low carb options x
Jucing is just for breakfast a couple of times a week, not all the time. That would be crazy!It will help you lose weight as you will be in a deficit but if all you had was juices chances are you will be miserable and it will be really difficult to stick to it.
It’s about finding what works for you but ultimately it’s about eating less and moving more
Dark choc works for me, also chocolate protein bars, fruit!Anyone got help with sweet cravings
Diet drinks, artificial sweeteners, Pom bears, babybel, crab sticks(?!), light mayo, mint sauce (if not homemade) are all processed food. That’s fact - not merely an opinion. I don’t even know who Gillian is if that was some sort of insult.Alright gillian mckeith. Not like its any of your business I can assure you I dont.
My fitness pal. It works. I went from BMI of 25.5 down to 22 and it’s not very difficult, ie you don’t have to cut food groups out, although you soon learn to choose healthier options so you’re not running out of calories and starving because you’ve used all your allowance on junk. Good luck!I've got a bit of weight to loose just cause I've got a small frame so I'm a 26 BMI when really I should be more like 22. I eat healthy just too much really. Only need to loose a few kg but worry about getting a saggy face that looks like you're melting.
I've tried intermittent fasting but I just cant do it!! I heard that eating 600 Cal's one day a week then eating breakfast the next day then working out speeds up metabolism but 600 Cal's a day is not what I can do!!
Instead what I'm trying is a veggie and fruit juice for breakfast a couple of days a week. Semi sweet and mostly veg with greens. 1 litre is enough to last me until lunch. Lost 1/3rd of what I need to in a month. Fuck knows if it will be long term win!!
What have you tried? What works and what failed you??
I have a hot choc made with water and a little bit of milk if craving chocolate.Anyone got help with sweet cravings

Distract yourself by doing something you like doing that isn’t eating. Eventually your body/mind won’t crave sweet things so often.Anyone got help with sweet cravings
Wow you eat a LOT of processed foodCals in < cals out.
It's the simple.
No silly juicing, shakes, pills or fasting.
Meal prep for at work (do mine on sunday night/monday morning).
Simple swaps. Full fat to reduced fats.
Cut back on sugar. Sweeteners in tea/coffee. If you drink fizzy pop swap to diet.
Have snacks like pom bears, reduced fat baby bells, fruit and crab sticks.
Also fry light, light mayo, fat free natural yogurt and mint sauce mixed in Mack's and amazing dip/salad dressing!
That works for me.
Also if I fancy something sugary I have a diet coke.
No smoothies, might as well eat the fruit whole.
Also a small full spoonful of nutella and milk in the microwave makes amazing dip for fruit.
I always have one great meal a week. Normally on a weekend.
Good luck x
