The thing about protein is that it makes you feel &quot;full&quot; for a longer time than anything else. having no carbs at all can leave you craving and needing the sugar to deal with the insulin spike after a meal, so you want to make sure you have a few of those (ie the veges or a bit of fruit).</p> <p>The best way to move to a new diet is slowly, so try keeping a food log of what you eat now, and then slowly ween yourself over to the new way of eating. It may not the the fast weight loss answer, but there is a WAY higher chance you will stick with it. the bonus is that your family will also benefit from it, learning how to eat healthier </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/has-anybody-tried-the-dukan-diet-is-it-a-fad#post-879 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 09:38:55 +0000 minumz 879@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>oh okay, thanks for dat info &lt;img src=&quot;http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; how do i explain ummmm, as i have wee ones and a partner, could you tell me the foods that are low carbs/protein heavy that&#39;ll be good for me to eat and the veges as im not quite sure as to how i can incorporate it in with my familys meals, as alot of familys we not wealthy no no no not @ all hehehe so i need to try figure out wich foods me and my family can eat or what foods i can sorta eat of theirs.... like whats da main foods dat a &quot;normal&quot; family would buy ie. common foods, and how do i look on labels and stuff as im so illiterate with that sort of thing, like diet list thingee??plan?? thanks (sorry if it sorta dont make sense lol) </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/has-anybody-tried-the-dukan-diet-is-it-a-fad#post-877 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:00:49 +0000 Liz Quilty 877@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>A Fad diet is one that you can not sustain for the rest of your life. Dukan is pretty much the same as Atkins or other ones that are protein heavy. Good if you are not a huge bread and carbs fan, you will drop weight.<br /> The main thing you need to remember with any low carb diet is that you should eat a lot of veges still, particularly leafy greens etc for magnesium. Magnesium helps you relax and have less cramps, but also it helps your metabolism speed up &lt;img src=&quot;http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> <p>So yeah, Dukan will be fine if you can stick with it for at least many years as a long term thing. Not worth doing if its just for a short time. </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/has-anybody-tried-the-dukan-diet-is-it-a-fad#post-873 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:53:16 +0000 minumz 873@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>was seeing lots of information on the dukan diet and was wondering if anybody has tried and if it was just another fad.. </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/has-anyone-tried-systemslim#post-816 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 01:21:38 +0000 Anonymous 816@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>I am using Herbalife&#39;s Nutrition Shake + Protein powder. It is meal replacement. I often have 2 shakes/day + 1 colorful meal in the evening. This program helps me lose 7kg in the first month and 12kg over 2 months. I love this shake honestly &lt;img src=&quot;http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:-)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/has-anyone-tried-systemslim#post-746 Tue, 10 May 2011 15:08:15 +0000 HayesyJo 746@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>I&#39;ve been using system:slim which is a low GI based weight loss plan with supplements and it seems to be working for me. I had a baby 8 months ago and all that weight and more has gone (and she was hardly breastfed at all due to complications. It&#39;s been a steady weight loss of approx a kg a week apart from my first couple of weeks which were bigger!</p> <p>I just wondered if anyone else had been using it and whether it had worked for them? </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/do-you-hate-counting-calories#post-460 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 19:48:02 +0000 Liz Quilty 460@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>Yeah portion control i think is where a lot of its at. I just used calorie counting to do that for me, it also showed up things i never thought of that i ate that had WAY to many calories &lt;img src=&quot;http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; <br /> Everyone is different, what works for one doesnt always work for another. you have to do what works for you. </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/do-you-hate-counting-calories#post-448 Tue, 06 Apr 2010 10:21:22 +0000 anewme 448@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>I have just started so when I am like Liz Q and other women who have lost 3/4 of their weight then I can actually pass judgement. Until then I can only give my opinion but right now I do not count calories; I look at portions; I have been watching alot of NZ programmes and know for me it is portion control; personally for me it is a guide that I can carry with me (my hand) I have learnt by watching other tv programmes to use your own hand as a guide; i.e. palm for size of meat the thickness etc. Reading through Liz Q links really helps; good luck I will watching your link to see how your calorie counting is going. </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/emarks#post-169 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:59:26 +0000 Liz Quilty 169@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>Yeah Vanessa put me onto it. Im sorting a recipe part of this website out now so you can share stuff. I just want automatic calorie/portion thing organized, and it does similar stuff to emarks </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/brandy4us-diet-plan-on-trademe#post-168 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:56:54 +0000 Liz Quilty 168@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>Its just the same information as on the website. Any diet so long as you eat less calories than you use will work.<br /> Ideally you want to be healthy and eat a decent amount of protein, veg, and fruit, but that&#39;s not always possible in real life. This week alone I&#39;ve had to contend with 2 birthday parties and very little time for anything else! Yeah i ate bad, but ill make up for it this week (promise!)</p> <p>I guess what I&#39;m saying is that any diet that&#39;s not super crazy will work, its a matter of how much hand holding and time you have to put into it. </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/brandy4us-diet-plan-on-trademe#post-162 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 01:25:29 +0000 chichi 162@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>Has anyone tried this yet or anyone on it? I&#39;m currently on it and I stumbled upon this site when I was trying to search for her blogspot lol....</p> <p>i&#39;m on the 4th day and I havent weighted in yet sooo we&#39;ll see.. </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/emarks#post-146 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 12:56:58 +0000 Takotorau 146@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>Loves it. </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/emarks#post-141 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:39:06 +0000 Liz Quilty 141@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p><a href="http://www.emark.co.nz/">http://www.emark.co.nz/</a></p> <p>It creates you a nice meal plan with pretty large sized portions that are both healthy and filling.</p> <p>Nice easy website to use! </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/do-you-hate-counting-calories#post-135 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 22:56:21 +0000 Liz Quilty 135@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>I think it only took about a month to recall what calories were in most items anyway, so not fussed. That sounds like a wicked calorie counter againagain. I have some for my iPhone but they dont sync with the desk. Fitday.com you can use from many places.<br /> I&#39;ll give this free stuff a trial and see if its edible. Half my problem is lack of time to prepare and cook. I rely on roasts and slow cookers and anything i can let just sit and cook itself (oven is programable). </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/do-you-hate-counting-calories#post-134 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 19:07:27 +0000 againandagain 134@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>I actually just came on to share an application that I am starting to use on my Black Berry. It is from <a href="http://www.fatsecret.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.fatsecret.com</a>, this website is like many others where you can input food, search for food from their catalogs, input exercise, there is a forum etc... but what I really like about it is there is a sync to my Black Berry that keeps itself updated regularly from one to the other. I can input from my Black Berry and I can input straight online... they keep each other posted... I have just started using it, and it looks good so far!<br /> The Black Berry isn`t the only phone that it supports... there are others too. </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/do-you-hate-counting-calories#post-133 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 16:33:39 +0000 Liz Quilty 133@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>ooo Im all good for free trials! also shakes! </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/do-you-hate-counting-calories#post-105 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 14:12:49 +0000 F B Stard 105@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>Counting calories can be painful especially if you don&#39;t have the time or commitment to do this all the time. I have started selling a line of meal replacement shakes which take the guess work out of calorie counting. All you do is replace your breakfast and lunch with the shake and then you can have anything you like for dinner. This is great for people who have a family to cook for and can&#39;t stand watching everyone else chowing down on your favourite meal while you are eating celery.
