British Heart Foundation Diet

And if you struggle try putting loads of salad on your plate along with beetroot and either lean meat or fish for dinner drink plenty of water and you will still lose the weight i usually do that for the next few days another tip if you cant cut out carbs just eat them in the morning and early lunch but restrict in the evening switch the television off and concerntrate on chewing and the food you are eating you tend to feel fuller quicker

this diet is amazing. on the plan i had it advised you to have 250ml water before each meal so you feel fuller. Also one mid am and one mid pm. It really works. back on it at the weekend 7 wks before my hols

Hey girls this diet really works..you might only loss 6/8lbs but in 3days who’s not gona be happy with that?..I know I will when my holiday clothes are loose and comfortable on me..I have lost lots of weight doing this diet before and am on day2 at present..good luck to you all xo

this diet is so hard, esp on the last day (which im on now & cant stop picking) as you’re constantly hungry! i am anyway! you do lose the weight & as along as you keep well hydrated your not going to die!i always just tell myself its only 3days and after that i go back onto my slimming world. from this week though i am going to do it once a week as i have to fit in a bridesmaids dress in 11 weeks!! wish me luck lol

I’m on day 2 of this diet now and REALLY struggling!
I love food too much i think i’d rather eat more and exercise more than cut out this much food! It might make you lose weight by sticking to it but it’s making me light headed and shaky!

Just finished doing this diet, and i have lost nine pounds:)) it is a hard diet to do, and the tuna and peanut butter was hard to swallow cos it was so dry:/ but im tempted to do again for the next two days as im unable to do it saturday! I have a lot of weight to lose 5 stone plus. So i can afford to do it and to be honest its really given me a kick start to my new way of living with a healthy low fat diet.

While this is a low calorie diet, it’s not a balanced diet and it isn’t designed or endorsed by the BHF. We think that to weight loss should be for the long term – reducing your weight and keeping it off for good – so quick fixes like this, whilst tempting to try, aren’t the answer.

Although it can be frustrating if you have weight to lose, a slower weight loss is actually better for you. And you can do it without giving up all of your favourite foods or having to resort to strange combinations of foods.

Try the actual British Heart Foundation resources we’ve designed to help people tackle their weight “So, you want to lose weight….for good” or, if you have a large amount of weight to lose (BMI 30+) then you might want to take a look at our publication “Take control of your weight”. You can also sign up for our heart matters programme. There’s practical help in the form of recipes and an interactive BMI calculator as well as our lifestyle check which will help you to identify which changes you can make to help improve your heart health.

Hi I Was Wondering How Many Days To Do This For A Week ??

i have used this diet for approx 4 yrs on and off when i need a kick start and a quick fix! its great for motivation and also will power is definatly needed its not for those who find it hard to diet its about educating yourself and being mindful after you have dont it i usually do this diet for 5 days for a real kick. good luck people and if followed properly you will lose the weight

The British Heart Foundation (official UK organisation) DO produce a number of good quality diets, and I have followed one in particular designed to lose weight. It is a steady loss of 2pounds a week, and you eat quite a bit. There is no faddiness in the real diet, just sensible eating based on size and portions rather than weighing and measuring calories. plus a link to the BHF.org’s diet sheet (downloadable, and you can order a hard copy for free.)It’s based on science and nutrition which was supported by national health service grant funding. My grandad’s life was saved by the british heart foundation and I think it’s terrible that anyone should create a diet pretending to be the official diet which is actually so bad for you.

We’ll have a go now

i have done this diet once before and it did work so now i going to start it again first diet i tried that worked
