I reckon, Pix, that she’s one of the many who are looking for the magic bullet that gives them everything they want for no effort and really cheaply.

If she every stumbles across the real secret please remember to let me know what it is.😉

Ask her how it's working out for her, Pix ;)

NB: losing 3st on a fad diet doesn't count if you regain it over the next 18 months.

She gained 3st but list about 5
It's widely believed that the fad diet was because she'd had surgery
She's already gained(gaining) weight
She's a known dramatic dieter
At one point she loved going to the gym with me when she could but that was pre covid and she has no motivation to do anything herself

I’d be interested to hear how that works out for her.

I’d file that in ‘doing crunches gives you a six pack’ and ‘get rid of your bingo wings by training arms’

(Both actually solved by what Nellers said - eating less than output….)

....And I'd emphasise that whilst the biology/physics of "burn more than you consume" is lovely and simple and logical in theory, it's a lot harder in practice for most people because of our relationships with food and the world in general, and complicated further by the vagueries of trying to measure someone's actual metabolic rates/ outputs and the calorific values of food accurately.

Dieting for weightloss is far harder than it should be.

Totally agree, Nellers. It’s not nearly as simple as calories in vs calories out.

Well, it IS as simple as that but simple and easy are very different things.
