Have you tried every possible diet on the planet? Survived on nothing but cabbage soup, tried the baby food diet (eating jars of kiddie mush!), the bleak food diet (doesn’t sound very appetising does it?), the Martha’s Vineyard diet (a strict regime of juices and soups) or the low/no carbohydrate approach and binged on steak and cheese with Dr Atkins?

It’s highly likely that you’ve tried some sort of fad or crash diet, lost  weight quickly , only to pile the pounds on again after the initial rush of enthusiasm following  one or two weeks of depriving yourself of essential food groups.

Let’s face it slimming can sometimes feel like a bit of a rollercoaster. One minute you’re flying high full of the joys of life and then next you hit rock bottom.

Did you know the vast majority of people using fad diets to lose weight end up heavier and fatter than when they started? This is because most of these diets promote unrealistic and unsustainable eating habits.

Can you imagine how difficult it would be to stay on a very low carbohydrate diet in the long term? Or a high protein diet, or living on cabbage soup for the rest of your life or taking dietary supplements for a long period of time?
