Please forgive my absence, but Ive had a busy few weeks. Ive had a weeks holiday in Eilat (not that Im complaining, but a week of unlimited buffet has not been kind to my waistline), had a new au pair start (French, teeny-tiny but with a huge appetite), settled both kids into new nurseries and gone back to work (where they seem to have saved all the sweets/cakes/chocolate from the year for my return).
Amazingly, I didnt actually gain as much weight as I thought I would have - 10st 1lb this morning (thats how much I weigh, not what Ive gained). Looking back, this is what I weighed after I regained the weight I lost on Atkins!
Working through the list alphabetically, Ive skipped a few. Dietchef promised me a weeks food, but havent delivered quite yet. The cabbage soup diet looks hideous (cabbage soup daily, plus on day one unlimited fruit, no bananas; day two, unlimited veg, one baked potato; day three unlimited fruit and veg, no potato; day four, eight bananas, skimmed milk; day five unlimited soup, beef and tomatoes; day six, beef and vegetables; day seven unlimited rice, fruit and vegetables). Dukan is new and followers rave about it, and the F-plan diet looks interesting (but too complicated for this week), so I think Ill come back to them later.
Instead, this week, Ill be following the Grapefruit Diet. A simple concept, 800 calories a day, and half a grapefruit before each meal. Apparently grapefruits contain fat-burning enzymes, although I suspect its the severe calorie restriction that has the most impact. Grapefruits are ordered from Ocado, so watch this space
