@rachelpeppy<br>I dont think that this can be healthy... To be healthy you should loose about 1-2 pounds a week if its more it really is not healthy

@rachelpeppy<br>Hi Rachel,<br><br>Everyone has to make her own decision and i think this One Week plan will b an excellent start to ur new way of eating--i have done the 3 day diet, it is similar and it helped me feel better. I'd like to wish u the best.

@rachelpeppy, I've just started with twye, thanks 4 the tip on the GMdiet. Looking forward to losing some weight. Good luck to us all!

@rachelpeppy Hello!Nice to meet you! I have registered in TWYE 2 days ago.I'm from Bulgaria,26 years old,weight 64 kilos.Before 5 months I was 54 kilos.Now I don't understand what happened with me but I'm always hungry.That's terrible!I read what was written about GM diet and I decided to try it.Well I start it from today. It is difficult,I'm starving,but I will complete it successfully!At least I will try... Good luck to all of you who have decided to combat excess weight!

@rachelpeppy<br>I suggest you pretend to have two Saturdays instead of a Saturday and Sunday. Do the same things on your second Saturday as you did on your first. May be that way you can confuse your "lust" for eating.

can you keep the nuts in your dorm room?? That seems crazy that an entire college campus is nut free. They are so delicious!! Try high protein snacks maybe?

Yes that's crazy! Surely the allergic ones know not to eat them! Aren't they grown ups? <br>Fruits are great, but tricky to carry in your bag... You could get unsweetened dry fruit like raisins and apricots. Some cereal bars are without nuts too.

Try snacking on fruit, or dried fruit, not too much mind as high in sugars, failing that dried goji berrys are great to snack on, try Whole Foods, or a health shop

go and brush your teeth right now to stop wanting to eat!!! do it every time you feel the urge. you'll be so proud of yourself.

that is the hardest!! a stocked fridge full of yummy things that you are never usually around. a few thoughts- try to give yourself the same portion control that you give the kids (in other words- eat only what they eat) and don't graze the leftovers off of their meals. Try to focus on the abundance as an opportunity NOT to feel deprived. In other words, you can think "I could have as much of this as I want, but just this once I won't. I could have some tomorrow." Allow yourself a small portion of the stuff you really like, and choose wisely. Good luck with it!

stuff yourself on healthy foods like salads and apples and drink green tea, then ull be too full to look at the sweets....then just allow yourself one small treat.

thanks for the advice! so far so good.. i have been eating 3 balanced meals with fruit and veg snacks, and yesterday i allowed myself a small treat. I'm getting good at this whole controlling myself thing! only 2 more days to go.. wish me luck xx

wow well done you!!!! im sooo so envious! im hoping hoping hoping to do it for lent, in the hope that come easter i can suffice on one easter egg! x

you shouldnt do more than 20mins cardio on an empty stomach. all the health and fitness mags say there isnt a 'best time' per se, more its about when YOUR body is best for excercise. if your able to, i would perosnally recommend training in the morning, as provided you do high intensity work out, your metablosim should stay raised for the day, meaning everything you eat your body with burn and use for energy better. also, they say it means your more inclined to be in a healthy frame of mind and stick to eating regime if you train in morning. however, traaining in eve is good because youll have eaten most of your days calories already, so body has plenty of fuel and you will probably manage to do more excercise, so burn more calories! <br><br>I would say do it when your body feels right to, but dont do it on empty stomach if more than low intentisty and more than 20mins of cardio... i usually ave a banana and coffee before workouts, then porridge ( with added protein pwder to refuel my body) afterwards. however, if im doing high intensity or a long run ( 10k min) i try to have some porridge atleast 45mins before im due to excercise, to keep my energy levels up. <br><br>hope this helps

If you have a good diet, I don't know that it matters. IF you have had simple carbs, exercising right after minimizes the insulin response and will make you feel better. Insulin, among other things, is partly responsible for storing calories as fat. I used to get quite tired on some holidays, finally figured out it was too much dessert. Now if I eat too much I go for a fast walk or run and I am fine.<br>BTW, the blood, liver and muscles have about 2 hours worth of glycogen (sp?) available so you should be able to do about that before crashing.
