Diet Club's GI plan part 2
My diet wasn't too bad before, it was my lack of attention to food portions that was the problem! I also exceeded the recommended alcohol units each week, which played a massive part in my huge weight gain in 2006. But now I have a healthy-eating diet and fitness regime I can actually stick to. I will never, ever be overweight again. The lessons I've learned are for life!
And here are my 6 golden rules:
- Join a challenge, or set one for yourself
- Surround yourself by a close-knit support network
- Eat everything on your meal plan - cutting portions will just lead to overeating later
- Drink at least 2 litres of water per day
- Get regular exercise
- If you have lots to lose, break it down into manageable half-stone goals
My weight loss has inspired other friends to lose weight - they use the online weight loss programme too and have decided to follow the GI plan. I never stop singing the praises of it, why would anyone want to eat any other way? I've loved every part of this site from the easy-to-cook recipes to the community spirit on the support boards which provide encouragement, sympathy, praise, advice and a good old natter whenever you feel like it. I feel like I've been on a journey and have reached my destination, which is somewhere I love being. I'm happier and more confident than ever before!
