Slimming World.
Allows you bad sins.

If you need to diet then 3 meals a day with plenty of fruit and veg and lots of water will work just fine. eating like a king in the morning, prince at lunch and porper at tea time and you will be on your way,

Good luck.

I've been doing Slimfast for a month or so until I had to go home for a week for a couple of weddings which set me back a bit. It's much easier than I thought it would be.

Exercise more and eat fewer calories than you burn.

The missus does Weight Watchers which she really likes. I think the best tip is just to be active and make sure you do some exercise, which has lots of other benefits (fitness, lower stress, better feeling of wellbeing) other than just weight loss. Go for a jog or cycle once or twice a week.

How slow and how much Carbs is allowed?

I try to do the leangains style of intermittant fasting (but with the recent amount of birthday parties I've had to go to has thrown this out the window), which is only eating within an 8 hour window (I chose 1pm-9pm).
I've lost 1.5 stone when I started in April but stopped the exercise I was also doing in July, and lost another half stone since to 13 stone 7.

I was doing High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), it kills and burns so many calories. I had to eat about 3000 calories on a training day and still lost the weight.

I switched from chips to potato waffles which have fewer calories because of the air holes.

I'm doing this too. I lost half a stone in first 2 weeks and then it has just stayed there... but it's the other health benefits that I'm doing it for really.

Exercise more and eat fewer calories than you burn.

This is the best advice & it's what I did.

I'm not saying that diet plans don't work, but weight loss really is a simple equation, eat less calories than you need.

I lost 3 1/2 stone this way, although some has gone back on but that's my own fault, & I intend to get a exercise regime back on & watch my intake again. The key to it all though is motivation & discipline, without that you wont succeed.

How slow and how much Carbs is allowed?

It is similar to Atkins, but you are allowed slow metabolising carbs. So for example, vegetables, but not fruit.

There are some simple rules - mainly, don't eat any carbohydrate that could (not is) be white - such as bread, potatoes, pasta.

Have a protein filled breakfast (I did two scoop protein shakes, pure whey so about 45g protein)

Try to have legumes with every meal (you'll eat a lot of kidney beans)

Cheat day every week (this shocks your body - eat as much crap as you can). During the week list any foods you crave, and you can have it on Saturday :-)

No alcohol, except a glass of red wine in the evening.
