[QUOTE="jjne, post: 2413889, member: 544975"] That is very interesting. I have clearly been approaching this all wrong. While I don't feel hungry, much of what I've cut out is precisely what this actually recommends I eat more of! The diet I've put myself on has certainly worked in the sense that I have lost a stack of weight. But OK the spuds and the bread goes (I was told to eat these in moderation which is precisely what I have attempted to do). Ironically the takeaways I've had in the past (chicken tikka madras, thai curries and the infamous chicken parmo which is a local "delicacy" in Durham) are closer to what is on that list than what I've reduced myself to (and although I am not sure about going back to that, it would seem that a curry on Saturday night is fine as long as I find an alternative to the rice). So essentially this is what amounts to the Atkins/Dukan diet in some respects -- cut out the carbs completely (and in particular get rid of rice, spuds and wheat) and eat meat/dairy, fatty/high protein stuff instead? (OK I know this is a flippant response but I feel like a cage has just been removed from around me). This is the stuff that I liked and that I got rid of... I need to look into this in a lot more detail. I was under the impression that carb-free was a miserable existence but the stuff that I need to get rid of is predominantly the filler -- replace this with healthier vegetables. I can do that.
