    May I suggest that perhaps you need a holiday from yourself?

    Just come home from work and had soup for lunch. Soup?? Missus has dropped 14 pounds in two weeks on one of these lighter life diets in the meantime I've been exercising and put on two pounds and I'm still knocking back the booze to get to sleep and waking up knackered.

    So I'm going to go for a vast drop in calories and not drink booze or tea/coffee for the next three weeks. Going to swap for green tea and water. Any other recommendations?
    If you're serious about losing the weight, try these

    The chilli pill that burns off those extra calories | Mail Online

    They actually work, I did a course last time I was wanting to strip the fat. You've obviously got to train to get any benefit.

    If you've got a local aba round your way, head down there if you want to burn fat fast. Most of them have pad and bag sessions for oldies and fatties.

    6 weeks and you'll seriously be in good nick. Kept me slim through the years of booze and birds.

    This lighter life diet the missus has started, she has three 'meals' a day which are 140 calories each. Ie. 420 for the day. That to me is just stupid and dangerous. Though to keep on line with the thread, she is knackered at the end of the day.
    You would do far better to cut your intake a bit less and do more exercise. Cut the bottle of wine, that's probably 500+, ditch the sugar in the tea, and do half an hour a day of proper aerobic activity like cycling or swimming.

    Careful mate or you'll cut yourself with that razor sharp wit of yours.

    There are women who have died from Heart failure on the lighter life diet.

    Even 1000 calories a day is too little for the "average" woman.

    Actually, as a matter of interest, how many calories are expended during a "J Arthur"?

    Depends on a lot of factors like his height and weight.

    Remember fat person needs a lot of calories just to survive so cutting down drastically means his body would go into starvation mode.
