Eat little and often.
If hungry have a glass of water - often settles the hunger.
Dont drink fizzy pop - a can of coke contains equiv to 50 cubes of sugar.
Drink 8 glasses of water a day (Approx 2 litres)
Eat from a smaller plate - reduce portions gradually.
Make it a way of life and enjoy it then becomes a normality, this is why diets dont work.
If you wanna lose weight, split carbs and protiens as they neutralise each other.
Fish and chips
baked spud and cheese or beans
Eat one half of the 2 mentioned and leave the other - on thier own and not to excess they are not too bad.
Try not to eat 3 hours before bed.
Carbs for lunch give energy.
Protein at night helps relax and tire you ready for sleep.
Dont forget the 5 a day rule.
Most salad, fruit and veg are classed as neutral so you can add to meals and bulk up.
10lb in 10 days.
Poached/boiled eggs
Beans or plum tomatoes.
Grilled bacon
Mushrooms as and when
NO BREAD OR BUTTER
This is a basic Atkins diet advised only for 10 days, tried it when I was 17 and overweight in a competion with the works nurse.
She lost 9 lbs and thought she had won the box of chocolate prize
I lost 13 lbs

Only advised for a maximum of 10 days - I actually suggest try it for 5 and in theory you can eat as often as you want.
