Reviewing people's progress in the latest 3 month challenge made me aware of how few of us really understand the way that weight loss slows as we become successful with our diets. The result of this is that we set unrealistic goals and then, when we can't meet them, we feel that we have "failed...

rawkaren , At your BMI after a long stint of dieting, it would be highly unusual to be losing 1 lb a week. The best I've been able to do is half a pound a week. And now I'm down to maybe a third of a pound. The expectation of losing a pound a week on any diet is skewed by all the people who start o...

No one needs to eat any carbohydrate, so long as they eat enough extra protein. Your liver, very cleverly, can convert protein into the small amount if glucose your brain requires. All your other organs can run on free fatty acids. You can find a calculator that tells you how much protein you need t...

(see from 36mins onwards on iPlayer). Not sure whether this can be interpreted as a critique of all/any lowcarb diets? The conclusi...
