I don't know what your lifestyle is like, but for half the year I am at uni with 1 essay/week and on top of that lots of revision and studying to get through - if I can't look forward to say, a dessert within the next few days, the essay crisis just escalates. Also, I don't want to sacrifice my social life for a couple pounds and could not go teetotal for 4 weeks. <br><br>The other half of the year, during the holidays, am with my parents, and if I tried to eat nothing but fruit and veg for a month, my mother would freak out. It would be such an unbalanced diet - I try to cut out carbs generally but we do need a minimum even of them, and also PROTEIN, which is essential. <br><br>I did a couple days fruit/veg detox and you feel light-headed, tired, lethargic, unproductive and moody. So though it may seem like a miracle solution, and I would love to drop a dress size too in 4 weeks, to me it would not be worth jeopardizing my uni work/social life/health. <br><br>What is your diet plan at the moment? Maybe you could try a kind of less drastic detox? x

@ similar to yours it seems, i try to keep carbs to a minimum and aim to have only small deserts etc (when i do). i'm in uni too. haha yeah i agree with the alcohol! i normally have wine or vodka w diet coke though so i won't be cutting that out if i do decide to give the diet a go. potatoes are veg so it probably wouldn't be too bad.. some new potatoes in the evening w rocket salad for eg and fruit in the day.. sounds dull though!!x

don't be sad :( Start fresh tomorrow!

museli is not 'fatty'. too many people mistake FAT for CALORIES. someone who eats only 1500cals a day but gets those calories from high saturated fat foods is going to put on more weight that someone who eats 2000-2500cals of very low fat foods!!! we need calories, calories are not bad things. calories are a measure for energy. we need energy, before we even exciercise we need 1200-1500cals a day to lie in a bed and for our body to keep us alive. if your out and about all day you also need extra calories to do these low activities. thats without any real gym sessions or workout stuff in there!! dont be afriad of calories. they are your friend. its SATURATED FAT tha is your enemy! and ofcourse its important that you dont overdo the GOOD fats ( found in nuts, avocado, olive oil, etc) if your trying to loose alot of weight, but if trying to lose a bit you need to keep these good fats in. x

haha you're all idiots.

As Cadburyaddict said, Muesli is good for you, and calories aren't a huge deal. If you wanna lower the cals, use low fat milk but Muesli is great, it's slow burning so it'll take you through the morning and you can add fruit to get one of your 5 a day so well done. If you'd have had a choc bar instead, you'd have less cals but LOADS of saturated fat and sugar and it'll probs keep you full for no longer than an hour so well done for opting for muesli =o)

scroll your mouse over the right of the food on your list and you will see a red circle with a line through it- click on that. And don't be so hard on yourself about the peanut butter- you can always do better moving forward. Or buy the small jar of peanut butter just in case you eat the whole thing! :-)

@missstatistic haha good tip on the p.butter ;). i think next time i'll just have to avoid that isle :p. and thanks for the help!
