Yes highly suspect a lot of the time - but they are 'celebrities'. Very difficult to believe anything they say or do at the best of times really.
On the other hand I myself have lost about 1.5 stone over the space of a few months with only minor adjustments in my eating/drinking habits - so you never know.
Don't stop there. I'd love to hear tips like this from a 'real' person.
(hope this isn't touching on medical issues) I found the best way with exercise was to build it into a routine rather a special case. So making it part of my commute rather than going out my to go to the gym. I couldn't get out of it then.
As to the food side. Again to me it came down to what is sustainable. Dropping by the 500 cals is pretty reasonable and from most reports denying yourself anything over this leads to cravings and eventually binges. That and I cannot cope with rice cakes.
I've started walking most of the way home from work to Rathfarnham (where I leave my car at my parents' house) at least 3 evenings a week, getting in at least one 45 min - 1hr walk at the weekends and doing a quick ten minute workout most evenings to this dance/exercise dvd I bought (probably getting the moves all wrong but I'm still puffing and panting after it so presume I'm burning calories).Foodwise I'm eating low calorie breakfast and lunch, snacking mainly on rice cakes, and eating whatever I like for dinner. I've also cut out wine during the week but will drink it at weekends. Fingers crossed I'll lose a stone or so.
This is one thread where I get a rubber medal. I have been doing, not so much a low carb diet as such, but one where carbs is limited. 4 x 25g portions of carbs per day and minimum of 2 x 32g protein. I am eating more than I ever did, because I am eating every 3 hours, smaller portions. Have also taken up exercising.
I try not to have any alcohol more than once per week (last week did not work because it was my birthday) I am down a stone in a month. Everyone has noticed now and the comments have been great. I have another stone to go and this one will be slower, because I am getting nearer to what I should be. I am also going to start the C25K program, which will leave me running 5k after 9 weeks.
