I enjoyed it, but it really bugged me when you kept referring to being on a diet. They’re not sustainable by their very nature, and goes against the points you were trying to make about the fact that you can eat healthily and/or lose weight whilst still having chocolate.
Apart from that it was good! I particularly liked the one about cutting down on alcohol – some good points there.

Thanks for the feedback and what you’re saying is technically true but the fact is I am on a diet. The very definition of a diet is that you eat less food than you need in order lose weight. There’s a huge difference between dieting and weight maintenance and I am in fact dieting. Actively losing weight. You’re right that diets aren’t sustainable but they aren’t meant to be because they’re for weight loss and then once you reach you’re goal you start mainaining again. I think it’s also semantics… the word ‘diet’ means different things to different people and somewhere along the line the word ‘diet’ became dirty. I use it to remind me that I’m in a stage of weight loss.
Glad you enjoyed the series though! I’m launching Decembers theme tomorrow and would love your feedback!

I’m no longer convinced by the whole “calories in, calories out” equation. Have you read “Why We Get Fat” by science writer Gary Taubes?

No I haven’t but I’ll look it up! I’m totally convinced by calories in, calories out simply because it works every time I start counting calories I lose weight/inches but I’m sure that’s not th same for everyone!
