I've been interested to read of the positive benefits of the changes you've made to your diet. I'm not prepared to completely cut dairy out of my diet but I do intend to cut back on it, and to reduce my fat intake.<br /><br />Just this morning I heard on the radio that the shortage of water will lead to a reduction in fodder crops and consequently a decrease in meat production. It looks as if we may all have to eat more fruit and veg.<br /><br />Well done with your weight loss and good luck in losing that last stone.just Gaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17410006899511613020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614377841902606532.post-16524321438313325452012-08-27T20:51:24.085+01:002012-08-27T20:51:24.085+01:00I'm classed as overweight at a BMI of 25, but ...I'm classed as overweight at a BMI of 25, but I was in the obese section at the beginning of the year...<br /><br />The easiest way to lose weight is to stop cooking with oil & cut out dairy, but it is easier said than done! I've lost nearly 3 stone so far this year, which must mean it works! Another stone to go before I reach my ideal weight though!<br /><br />Good luck with it Gai!<br /><br />Kay :) Just Humans Beinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14896514191821358208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614377841902606532.post-44939775021346061292012-08-27T19:18:01.012+01:002012-08-27T19:18:01.012+01:00Hi Gai!

I'll admit that the first time I figured out my BMI I was pretty shocked, too--and it was part of what convinced me that I really did need to lose weight. I didn't even realize Boots had a weight loss program. Kind of shocking from a high street shop. However, I took a look over the program it seems like it's missing a key part: it's not just what you eat, but why.<br /><br />The key to permanent weight loss is to understand not only what you're eating, but why you're eating it. It's easy for us to get caught in bad habits like eating because we're stressed out, having a bad day, or bored. It's a way of filling our different human needs. I'd encourage you to take a look at the video in my link of Beverly, who lost 230 lbs. without any surgery or weight loss "magic bullets" aside from diet and exercise. In it, our different human needs are explained along with ways to become healthier. It's not that long, and you might find it to be pretty interesting.Courtney at RRIhttp://bit.ly/NLjYqTnoreply@blogger.com
