Hi Lea!

REgardless od what diet/eating plan you use, having around 2 litres of water a day is a rally good way to help with weightloss, because it aids in fat metabolism (also - caffeine inhibits fat metabolism).

As someone else said, Ambah I think, the more lean muscle mass you have the faster your BMR (basal metabolic rate) is, so you metabolism is faster and you burn more calories. This is typically why men tend to lose more weight, faster than women.

If you can affrord it, book in with a trainer at the gym, even if its once off, or once a month, and get a program done (or get your DH to do one for you) with a bit of weights and cardio (bike/treadmill etc not necessarily aerobics).

Maybe try a chromium supplement (I use balckmores sugar balance) which really will help with the sugar cravings. I have not had any for over a month now. thought about chocolate yes, but never craved it.

Hmm. I am on Tony Ferguson at the moment, but even when I've been on a regular diet the main things that really make a difference for me are more water, no softdrink, less bread and less caffeine.

Good Luck!
