How to lose weight without diet pills

If your diet looks something like this -cereals and toast for breakfast, a jacket potatoe for lunch and then pasta for dinner with additional carb based snacks such as choc bars and rice cakes, then any diet pills would have to work miracles...to lose weight!

If you miss meals and only eat in the evening resulting in a slowing of the metabolism then again the diet pills would have to work miracles to overcome the body going into starvation mode. Even if you only miss breakfast then your body has been fasting for say 13 hours. How can you expect to run efficiently throughout the day if you haven't fueled up? When you go without eating for an extended period of time, the brain reacts by sending signals to the body that you are "starving" - the metabolism slows to conserve energy.

Better to make gradual long term changes to your diet. Follow simple rules such as getting protein into every meal. Protein controls your appetite long term whereas many carbs often ony fill you up short term. For example, have a bowl of sugary cereal for breakfast and you feel hungry an hour later. This however, is not an excuse for having lots of animal proteins which can contribute to an increase in your cholesterol and as most people realise is not be a healthy option
