Chapter 1. I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost I am helpless. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out. I walk down the same street. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I cant believe I am in this same place. But it isn't my fault. It still takes a long time to get out. I see it is there. I still fall in But, my eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately.
I walk around it. This is a great analogy, which for me, describes the process of change that we all experience as we journey through life Chapter 1 is where we initially find ourselves, we have a identified that we need to change, "I fall in.
This is the first step in the process of change is to recognise that we have a problem. Going out with your friends for a few drinks every night and having three glasses of wine would total extra calories a night, an eye watering 4, extra kcals per week!
Bought sandwiches are often very high in fat or salt and making your own is the best option. Try and keep the ratio of protein, i. Also the addition of mayonnaise can add hundreds of calories to a sandwich. A bought tuna mayo sandwich could contain as much as calories.
A homemade turkey and avocado sandwich on wholemeal bread may contain as little as calories. Lattes: Women who pick up a coffee on their way to work could be consuming almost a third of their recommended daily calories in one go.
Increasingly sophisticated coffees and larger cups mean chains are regularly selling drinks that contain well over calories each. So if you are addicted to your daily mocha chocca latte, take note. Dried fruit should be soaked or eaten in minimal quantities. It is a high GI food, therefore not good for the blood sugar — normal fruit like apples, pears, peaches and berries are medium and low GI. Marketed as a healthy snack, you may eat much more of course, and a packet of dried apricots will have your blood sugar soaring.
Smoothies: There has been a lot of marketing hype recently about how smoothies are good for you and can be an easy way to have your Five a Day, but they can have as much as 11g of sugar per ml. Be sensible — if it tastes sweet, it is sweet.
Having a daily smoothie is not good at all, sugar-wise you might as well be drinking a coca cola. If you really like your smoothies, limit them to two a week. Flavoured crisps: Avoid crisps with flavours like sweet chilli as most companies will add sugar to any flavoured crisp; that may include salt and vinegar and black pepper as well.
Stick to ingredients that say potato, sunflower and salt. In a recent survey, 9 out of 10 people said that if they were dieting they would cut out fat from their diet. The truth, however, is that low fat diets are not always healthy and do not necessarily help you lose weight. Although a diet high in saturated fat is not good either, we tend to put good and bad fat into the same mould.
One calorie of saturated fat is not the same as one calorie of essential fat, which is needed by the brain, immune system, skin, hormones and heart. Crash dieting makes you hungry and the most important thing to remember when losing weight is to never go hungry.
Starving yourself does not help you lose weight but causes your metabolism to go haywire and in the end can lead to the addictive patterns of yo yo dieting. You might have:. Different genes, hereditary illnesses, differing metabolic rates, nutritional deficiencies, food allergies, bad digestion, an under-active thyroid, specific medication needs, different motivational needs, work or family issues….
Remember we are all different and what works for one person will not necessarily work for someone else. Dawn French lost three stone on a regime of regular walking and less regular chocolate and chips.
Crash diets trigger a cycle of weight loss that is temporarily sustained, then rapidly regained until the next diet is started and the cycle starts over. In the early stages of starvation - which is essentially what these diets induce - the body cannibalises muscle as well as fat to provide energy not being gained via food, and this contributes to a dramatic weight loss. In all crash diets, because the severe restriction is not sustainable, when a person starts eating normally again, the weight goes on quickly as fat.
In an analysis of 31 clinical weight-loss studies the biggest analysis ever carried out found that more than two-thirds of dieters eventually put on more than they lost. One study carried out by the University of California found that 83 per cent of people who lost ten per cent of their body weight within six months put on more than they lost two years later, while another showed that half of dieters put on an additional 11 lb five years after coming off their diet.
Contrary to common belief, yo-yo dieting has never been scientifically proven to be detrimental to physical health or to cause your metabolism to slow down. But it has damaging psychological effects of stress, depression and poor self-esteem.
The sustainability of the diet and weight loss is not a problem simply of LighterLife but of any programme that is extreme compared with an individual's normal lifestyle, including excessive exercise regimes that are the focus of many celebrity-exercise DVDs. A recent study found that the most common drug recommended for long-term use - orlistat, also known as Xenical or Alli - reduced weight by less than 11lb, equating to a loss of less than five per cent of total body weight.

Some e-liquids have no nicotine, just the base and flavour, while different levels of nicotine are available in vape juice supplies: low, medium and high.
As to how many calories are in vape juice, the answer is— not many. Usually, 1ml of e-liquid has around five calories, which is minuscule when you consider a chicken sandwich contains calories and your average burger slightly more. You can always exhale the vapour, instead of taking it into your lungs, so all you get is the taste.
A study carried out in England last year looked at people who vape for weight control. It found that there exists a level of concern among the smoking population about giving up and gaining weight, but that vaping might help.
The study, published in the journal, Addictive Behaviors , concluded that one in 16 people in England who smoke believe that if they quit and vaped instead, they would not put on weight. One in 22 people is solely vaping for weight loss.
