Hey today I thought I would deviate from my usual moaning about quick diet loss and give you a few simple steps that I have used to keep up my resolve, or stop me  eating the entire contents of the fridge whilst everyone else was safely tucked up in bed!!  No mention of quick fix diets today…

Ok well to stop yourself launching into the fridge for “goodies” – don’t put them in there.  Throw out the junk food and replace it with healthy food.

As soon as you wake up get into that kitchen.  Yep, you read that right.  Well if you have been asleep for 8 hours your body is getting kinda hungry.  It has been proved that if you eat upon waking you won’t get those awful cravings for sugar at about 10.00 am.

Don’t beat yourself up if you do over indulge.  Just move on and forget about it.  If you do cheat then follow this with at least five healthy meals.

Always remember your new way of eating is improving the quality of your life.

A couple of weeks before Christmas I gave the Cabbage Soup Diet a go to try and lose a few pounds before the “Christmas Fest”. Not possibly the right attitude but hey I am sure am not the only one! You also get to eat a lot of fruit which I dont do very often.

Does it achieve quick diet loss? Well I have a confession I only stuck it for two days instead of the seven you are supposed to. I couldn’t stand the taste of the soup!! I am not sure then if this needs to be filed under the quick fix diets category. But for those of you who are more partial to cabbage here are a few more details;

If you have the soup before your meal you will consume less calories and the reason the cabbage soup diet does this is because it has a higher level of fibre.

From the large amount of information I have read regarding this diet it seems to give you a kick start when trying to lose weight.

If anyone out there has stuck it for more than two days give me a shout!
