The Golden Rules

  • Rule 1: When you’re hungry, eat. Don’t wait until you are starving before eating, as this will cause problems with “starvation mode”, and bad metabolic consequences.
  • Rule 2: Eat what you want. If you do this then you are less like to crave the forbidden.
  • Rule 3: Eat Conciously. This is the biggy. Eat slowly taking notice of every mouthful. If you do this you will enjoy your food, and then you will notice….
  • Rule 4: When you’re full, stop eating. Don’t worry about leaving food on your plate, don’t worry about getting hungry 10 minutes later (see rule 1).

That’s the deal. Simple isn’t it? There are more considerations to help with long term commitment, and I’ll write those up in the next day or two.

    Hi,I finally got around to

    Hi,

    I finally got around to looking at the comments on here, and saw yours.

    Well, P McK speaks a lot of sense, and it did work for a while. Maybe I had insufficient motivation, but firmly fell off the wagon around March.

    5 weeks ago I started a simple calorie controlled diet, monitored using a piece of software called DietPower. I’m doing much better than I was with PMcK, and have lost 14lb in 5 weeks.

    So, maybe I’m not the best person to ask.

    Cheers,

    David
