It's true, no matter what weight you are you are made to feel fat by TV and magazine's.Gillian should do a programe for people who are only a couple of stone over weight. Say for example a lady of about 5 foot in height, weighing around 10 - 11 stone. i would find a programme like that interesting.
I almost qualify so could I volunteer please? (5 ft 2, 10 stone)
I liked the idea that as long as you are eating foods from the list you could eat as much as you liked to feel full.
I didn't like that she prohibited all dairy products.
I don't trust diets that completely cut out certain foods. It might be an old fashioned idea, but I believe a little of what you fancy does you good.
That said, aduki beans rock!
I just can't eat cucumber, as well as fresh tomato's.
The thing about tomatoes from the supermarket is that they are hard and tasteless. Try organic ones from a farm shop or grow your own and they are totally different; tasty and juicy!
I tried them too. They take a lot of preparation but are tasty and versatile. But I wish they could be bought in cans ready prepared like red kidney beans (which also rock, by the way)
