SHOCKED!!! </p> <p>Did that accompany the "it's full of protein" line, too??!?! </p> <p>This is a great reminder of how to use this WOE properly. I think so many of us have issues with food, and portions, that we sometimes see the "eat lots of fat" as a green light to go mad, then wonder why we don't lose. When even though this WOE is brilliant and by far the easiest to stick to, it still requires us addressing issues with food, and eating sensibly and in realistic portions without overly snacking.</p> <p>I'm finding that upping my protein is keeping me full, too. I'm definitely getting out of the snacking habit. </p> http://www.pig2twig.co.uk/forums/topic.php?id=27816#post-628399 Fri, 18 May 2012 21:07:39 +0000 Mapleleaf 628399@http://www.pig2twig.co.uk/forums/ <p>Part of what appeals to me about this woe is not having to worry about measuring and weighing what I eat, as long as I stick to the "allowed" foods. I first did this in 2010, never once worried out portions size or quantity of fat,etc., and managed to get rid of 30lbs within 4 months - just by the way, if salad isn't drowning in dressing, I'm not eating it! I didn't however really move out of phase 1 and was extremely strict with myself. Last time I did find some phase 2 food made a huge difference to my weight loss. I'm not really a "snacker" so that wasn't too difficult. I am finding things a little more slow going this time but I am realistic enough to know that I am not being so strict and I only have myself to blame if my loss is small or not at all. I guess want I am trying to say is, I know different things work for different people, but if you stick to what is "allowed" and stay away from what is "not allowed" it will work. </p> http://www.pig2twig.co.uk/forums/topic.php?id=25966&page=170#post-628398 Fri, 18 May 2012 21:06:51 +0000 PandaRose 628398@http://www.pig2twig.co.uk/forums/ <p>Cheers m'dears. </p> http://www.pig2twig.co.uk/forums/topic.php?id=25966&page=170#post-628397 Fri, 18 May 2012 20:59:24 +0000 hel17 628397@http://www.pig2twig.co.uk/forums/ <p>You are right Taty, we can raise a glass to Widge.

I also tend to leave it until a little later and then I will have some cheese and ham, or maybe some cold sausages.

I am really looking forward to a couple of days off though. Not had too much time off in the last year - I only get 15 days vacation a year, which I gather is quite generous for north America. I have however booked some time off in September to travel home to the UK for just over 2 weeks. Really looking forward to it.
