Exactly this

I also looked into this Ketosis thing she was talking about
it's the state the inuits are in a lot of the time, but that's because they can't eat a balanced diet as they rely on whale fat. This means they are rubbish sprinters, though your body can adapt to provide long term energy this way, but it's less efficient and not suited to the sort of exercise swipe wants to do.

i thought this the first time round - i was cynical that it would come back on twice as fast
but not at all. i put back no more than the usual pound up, pound down fluctuation that everyone has, and i was eating pretty much what i wanted.

i think you have to find what works for you. eg some people who do this kind of diet have 10 stone to lose - are they really going to stick at 1-2lbs a week for 2 years? of course not, they'll get disillusioned and give up.

If you didn't put weight back on, then why are you on the diet again?

unfortunately the skinny bits are getting skinnier and the bits i hate aren't shrinking. next stop harley street.

no
i hate my hooter and my hooters. but there isn't a diet on the planet that will shrink the former, and the latter are proving stubborn. i'm just seriously squeamish, so doubt i'd ever have the guts to go through with it.

Life is far too short to get obsessed with that shit
Decent eating and exercise habits is all that's needed. Stop worrying about stuff that no one else even notices.

You're not wrong

but other people
shallower people DO notice and they make you feel bad about yourself. even when you know that logically they are the cunts with the problem.

When people are that overweight they lose weight more quickly at first
but with a generally healthy person, if you're losing more than a kilo or so a week, it's not good and is probably mostly water.

it's about 3lbs a week on average
