The first time I did WW I borrowed the books and did it at home. As Jess said said...it's a lifestyle change not a diet.

I'm sorry to say that herbal remedies are not going to be a long term fix and you will more than likely gain back the weight. You're much better off to establish permanent new habits.]]> Tue, 30 Dec 2008 16:43:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23357&PID=575297&title=weightloss-suggestions#575297 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23357&PID=575245&title=weightloss-suggestions#575245 Author: NeoshasMummy

I thought weight watchers was expensive until I REALLY looked at it, $17.90 each week and buying fresh produce in your groceries may "cost" more but so many people have had success with it and at the end of the day it's money going towards a good cause. It actually works out WAYYYY cheaper than the tonnes of diet pills I have tried and diet programs I have gone on. My theory is now I am worth that extra $30 a week. ( actually but cutting out takeaways, coffee's, gum and trips to the dairy im actually SAVING money lol.

Anyway as the others have said you can do the plan yourself without paying $17.90 each week.

It's not really a weightloss program it's a lifestyle change, hence the reason fad diet don't work. Trust me I have tried them all and gain back with interest because trying to "lose weight" is a much different concept to changing habits and getting healthy.

Anyway good luck for number 2 im sure you will work it all out ]]> Tue, 30 Dec 2008 15:15:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23357&PID=575245&title=weightloss-suggestions#575245 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23357&PID=575231&title=weightloss-suggestions#575231 Author: LovelyMummy

Thanks for your replys girls, I have never been able to stick to a weight loss program & weight watchers is quite expensive.

I NEED too be good and get moving as we want to try for baby number 2 at the end of next year ]]> Tue, 30 Dec 2008 14:50:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23357&PID=575231&title=weightloss-suggestions#575231 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23357&PID=574762&title=weightloss-suggestions#574762 Author: AandCsmum

Has anyone read Susan Powter's Food?

She has this fat formula that you do on individual items of food you buy. You decide on a level of fat % that you allow & if you keep below that level will depend on how much weight you loose, you can start higher & then work lower. It means reading food labels.

Plus I've done it on the WW food in supermarkets & they are pretty much all good.

The formula was "designed" by the american FDA but they kinda forget to tell the public about it lol.

What you do it you take the Calories & Total fat off the back of a pack of food, apply the formula & if it's below your % level then buy it, if not put it back.

The formula is Fat x 9 then divide this by Calories.

So off my Vita Brits per 100g, Calories are 354, Fat is 1.6. So:
1.6x9=14.4
14.4/354=.0407
To read this answer...it means that 4% of each the above Calories is going to turn straight into FAT.

My Act II Butter Popcorn hehe...515 Cal, 27g Fat
27x9=243
243/515=0.4718

47% of those Calories are going to sit right on your Butt as fat LOL

If a packet of food doesnt' have a Nutrition Info guide....DON'T buy it

I think when I lost weight last time, I didn't touch anything over 30% and worked it lower over time & the more aware I became of what I was eating as well. There is a level that you shouldn't go below & I think it's around 17% or 15%. I have lent the book to a friend so I can't look it up. In saying that I mean that you eat a range of food under that level. if you go too low, you will be cutting out food items that you actually need. I think I lost a good amount using 25% as the highest % food I would buy.

You could do it at then end of the day on all the food you eat or you could do it on each individual item. I did it as I did my shopping, that way I wouldn't have it in my cupboard.

Obviously fruit & vege's are good. Portion sizes dont matter as well & obviously exercise is a must.

I have found as a treat that McCains Healthy choice frozen chips are only about 34% where as other brands are up around or over the 50%.

Some things to watch though is the Sugar level in some foods which are low fat. Ie Coke is low fat but the sugars are Bad! So cut all fizzy out as well.

I'd also be inclined to go with Weight Watchers, it teaches you healthy balanced eating as opposed to relying on herbal (or non herbal) stuff. Even if you just get the books off TM and do itself that would be good.]]> Mon, 29 Dec 2008 17:16:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23357&PID=574741&title=weightloss-suggestions#574741 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23357&PID=574709&title=weightloss-suggestions#574709 Author: NeoshasMummy

Im going to do weight watchers

Have tried all sorts of different potions for weight loss natural and not so natural, all of them made me ill in some way, shape or form.

A friend is having some success with herbalife but then she has a dietician and a personal trainer (training 6 days a week) so im not sure how much the supplement has contributed to her weight loss if you get what I mean.]]> Mon, 29 Dec 2008 16:21:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23357&PID=574709&title=weightloss-suggestions#574709 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23357&PID=574702&title=weightloss-suggestions#574702 Author: MissAngel

Yep, stay as far away from those as you can!
Weight watchers or jenny craig (if you can afford it) You can get all the information for weightwatchers including books etc from trademe - you dont need to sign up and pay heaps of money.]]> Mon, 29 Dec 2008 16:10:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23357&PID=574702&title=weightloss-suggestions#574702 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23357&PID=574698&title=weightloss-suggestions#574698 Author: lizzle

i've heard a lot of those herbal remedies involve you not absorbing the fat. because of that, you need to expel it...and apparently it expels rather often and violently - if you get my drift.....]]> Mon, 29 Dec 2008 16:04:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23357&PID=574698&title=weightloss-suggestions#574698 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23357&PID=574686&title=weightloss-suggestions#574686 Author: LovelyMummy

Hi girls,

My New Years resolution is too loose weight, so not long till 2009 begins!!

I need some suggestions on how too loose weight,
I know the basic ones "walking, cutting out 'bad' foods, drinking lots of water" but is there any herbal remedies to help with weight loss??

Thanks ]]> Mon, 29 Dec 2008 15:47:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23357&PID=574686&title=weightloss-suggestions#574686
