Hi
as a person who suffers greatly with weight loss there are a few things to consider...
1) tablets and programmes on the internet etc are all money making quick fixes
2) join a local slimming club to learn about healthy eating ....don't see it as going on a diet!
3) have you had your thyroid gland checked
4) could you have poly cystic ovary syndrome?
5) "LOW FAT" diet meals have hidden sugars...look at the labels on diet foods they are low in fat but usually high in sugars!
We are all guilty of over eating... but sometimes we can have underlying " intolerances" as opposed to "allergies" the two are completely different and affect the way we digest foods... Gluten / Wheat are the most common "intolerances" which we as humans find difficult to digest...as is yeast. Lots of supermarkets offer gluten / wheat free goods so it is worth replacing things such as bread, pasta, crackerbread and cereal with these...that way you don't feel that the staple foods are being taking away from you.
My suggestion to you is to forget the "fad" diets and seek help from the GP. Various pills are available to help, that work with calorie controlled diets. They will give you fact sheets on the best types of foods and monitor your weight loss and blood pressure as you go. You do need to be classed as clinically obese (which to be honest those with a real weight issue generally are) before you can start. I am taking xenicol at the moment so I will keep you posted on how I do.
There is really only one answer for us all.....eat less, exercise more and enjoy planning that new summer wardrobe of slim fitting clothes when we reach our goal!!!! good luck :-)
