So who am I, your usualy curvy early thirty something. I love food especially my baked potatoes, italian pasta dishes and creamy sauces. I enjoy cooking, eating out and cannot stick to anything except watching my favouite soap 3 times a week!

Here's how I lost 2 stone in 6 months thats a size 16 to size 12 still curvy but much happier when I go shopping or out for an evening. BTW 2 stones in 6 months a more realistic weight loss which allows you to maintain future weight. Diets which promise more drastic results are usually about cutting calories too far so you have little energy and enjoyment eating!

Welcome to TIME Diet - In Summary.

Body Timing.. Start to programme your body so it knows when it will be getting food. This is hard to do but is essential to process.

Eat in morning between 7 and 9am, Eat at lunchtime 12.30 to 2pm (1.30pm if you have a family with young kids) Eat in evening around 7pm (6.30pm if you have a family with young kids) These times should fit most households and lifestyles. I have provided timings for those of you with a young family where it is essential to eat as a group and train your kids good habbits from an early age. Eat Snacks throughout day, but these should only be fruit or vegetables. Dont take pre pepared fruit or veg, prepare and peel as and when you want to eat it but no more than 3 pieces a day (wow a diet that tells you not to eat endless fruit and veg).

Food timing... After 1.30pm or 2pm you cannot eat those supposed bad carbs, normally potatoes, white pasta and rice & bread. This is easy people, heres a sample diet:

Breakfast: 2 slices multigrain toast with marmite, glass or orange juice and mug of tea/coffee. Snack 1: apple with small box raisons Lunch: Baked Potato (no larger than your hand) with margarine, chilli and cheese Snack 2: clementine and small banana Evening meal: Grilled chicken breast marinated in lemon, garlic and greek low fat yogurt, grilled vegetables including aubergine, tomato, onion, mushroom and pepper. For desert you swap your large dinner plate for a small plate and for this example I had some peach sorbet. Snack 3: grapes

If you have a 2 course meal, allow at least 20 minutes before courses. This will allow your stomach to start digesting first meal and give you a better perception of your hunger.

Look how long tobacco industry used television to convince us smoking was "Cool." If that doesn't hit you, now we know that fluoride is a toxic substance that manufacturers couldn't figure where to dump, so advertisers convinced public, and majority of dentist community, how great it was for our teeth, especially our children. Now, truth is really out, including cancer in children in academic portions.

When is enough, just that, enough? Is public that gullible? Advertisers say yes, and we keep supporting it because we keep buying and doing behavior.

In order for advertising to work, advertisers must create a problem or target a problem. If problem isn't big enough, they blow it up with misleading information to push problem up in our perception. Then they promote a solution with a limited perception. These internal messages tell us we need to be dissatisfied with our lives, what we own, and especially our self-worth with their answer. No matter where you are on social scale, commercials purposely make us feel that we haven't arrived yet.

If you love your two-year car, they tell you how great it is to buy a new one, and, of course, your self-esteem will rise just because you drive it. The next time you drive your car this message plays even if you don't think it’s playing in your mind. In addition, with all car ads on television, how can you miss one even if you mute or leave room during commercials, you still get tail end of one?

Advertiser even play people by giving expensive cars to celebratees, create hype about them having car, which in turn creates “keep up with Jones” effect. Then, fans of those celebratees have just “got to have” that car in order for them to respect themselves in morning. The individual’s emotional roller coaster begins in shopping for car, through buying process, and first few months with new car. Afterwards they must sit down, watch 30 or 40 car television "gotta have" messages just after writing a their car payment check for that new car and immediately get depressed because they have $10 left in account and they now want other new car. Then talk show programs tell them they can't manage their money and all it takes is simple common sense. They get down on themselves, grab another anti-depressant, and watch another car ad.
