As a diabetic I need to keep my blood sugars under control so have to watch what I eat and keep my weight down. The condition does not make it easy, I have been struggling with my weight for years and years and because of that I was a member of weight watchers. I was with them for four years and during that time lost 3 stones in weight but the last year I seemed to gain a pound and lose a pound every other week and I was going no where.  I read about the Diet Plate in the Daily Express and thought for £40 I would give it a go, I had spent well over £1,200 wi...[Read More]

I am not very tall and because of that I can't really afford to carry much weight on my body, even ten pounds can add a dress size. A number of years ago I started my own company providing outside catering for businesses and parties. The business flourished, I love to cook and I love to make my own recipes and try them out which of course resulted in weight gain fairly quickly. I can't remember how I heard about the Diet Plate, I think it was from an old friend but I do remember why I got into conversation about weight loss, it was because a friend made a witty...[Read More]

I've gone from a size 16 to a size 10 so I'm really happy, here is a before picture taken Jan 1st 2012 and the after picture was taken at the end of 2012. I totally believe in the Diet Plate, I think it the most effective aid in the battle to lose weight and keep it off.  People forget that Portion Control is the key to successful weight loss, but many of us tire of using the scales and gradually the food portions increase. Three years ago I met the perfect gentleman, handsome and funny, the perfect couple.  We fell in love and a year later, were marr...[Read More]

I had picked up my holiday snaps from the chemist as was thumbing through them when I had to do a  double take at one. I was shocked, the picture of me was not quite how I saw myself in my own head, it was not the person I saw when I looked in the mirror. It was a much larger me and one that I did not want to keep around.  I decided that I had to lose some weight and had heard about a a VLCD which stands for very low calorie diet and I thought that was the way forward. I started dropping weight rapidly but once I returned to solid food I regained the weight as quickly ...[Read More]

As a child, I was always skinny. I did ice-skating, dancing, swimming, gymnastics and, unlike today's children, played out with my friends. I do think that some of the seeds which caused my overeating were sown during my childhood though. My parents divorced when I was less than a year old. At some point I was told that it was my fault- if I had been a boy my father wouldn't have strayed. My mum remarried when I was 6 and I soon had a sister and later a brother. My brother, who had downs syndrome was a ray of sunshine and I was his favourite. Unfortunately when he was three an...[Read More]

I decided to buy a Diet Plate and Bowl after someone had made a remark to me that cut quite deeply and hurt. I had read about the product in a magazine and it seemed to make sense the only thing was I did not like fruit and vegetables. I had always refused to eat them as a child and my mother must have given up on me or something because as I entered adulthood, I still felt the same. I needed to lose weight though, and I had tried all the regular old fashioned clubs and knew that they did not work very well for me. I just wanted to lose weight in the privacy of my own home, I wanted to ...[Read More]

I have always been considered a "big lad," my mum had 4 boys and all of us are! I am 6'5" and having played rugby most of my life, I am quite broad and muscular. I have always loved food and having a doting grandmother didn't help - she was always making cakes and feeding me up, especially as I went to live with her for a period in my life when my parents had been injured in a car crash. My grandma made the most amazing trifles and cakes and I was always there as a willing helper - if not baking, then eating them! My portion size...[Read More]

I was happily married with three children and a what some would call "a good life." When I met my husband I was a young 16 year old and a size 10, but twenty years and three children later, the good life has seen me grow from a size 10 to a size 22! I had become complacent, I had tucked into the kids left overs once too often and probably made far too many puddings in my life and the results were on show all over my body. I had to do something about it, I wanted to do something about it, I was so miserable being fat. I had heard about the Diet Plate from a good friend who has ...[Read More]

My weight problem didn't exactly begin overnight - after my children were born around 30 years ago, the baby weight just never disappeared! I've tried loads of diet clubs and had some success with Rosemary Conley for a bit, but you're allowed snacks at night and I found I'd start with one... then have another... then another.  I felt uncomfortable, lacked energy and was thoroughly fed up with it, despite putting on a happy face at the time! Then, just over a year ago, my brother died suddenly - it was a big shock and as a result, all of the ...[Read More]
