Lisa Riley Honesty Diet

crowesnest16

Is anyone else doing this. Just about to start it as I have a unhealthy relationship with food. I can eat really well, everything freshly made and looks great but then blow it by sneaking a bag if sweets and chocolate. I love the idea of being honest about what I’m eating so sines back on to MFP to help me be accountable. Is anyone else following her journey? Cheers. K x

Never heard of that one but I believe the only way to lose weight is to be fully aware and own up to what you put into your mouth. Many people on mfp do that through accurate logging so I guess we are all following an honesty diet. Good luck with your journey.

I hadn't heard of her so I googled and found out she is an English actress who lost 12 stone in 18 months and then wrote a book about how she did it.

That is certainly a great weight loss story - but I couldn't see exactly what diet or program she followed - and I wasn't going to buy the book to find out her secrets, as my googled link suggested.

Isn't this basically honest and accurate food logging as recommended by MFP. If you want your "honesty" private, just set your diary settings to "private".

Wendy Roberts Honesty Diet (free, using mfp).
This is how I have managed to lose just over 50lb, in a healthy manner. To now have and successfully maintain a healthy bmi. By accurate and honest logging of everything I eat or drink, everyday. Recording and tracking my personal data here on mfp.

It is the basis behind mfp being used as a successful tool, in weight management and has helped so many people.

The only difference I can see between The Lisa Riley honesty diet and MFP, is the cost. Lisa Riley has written a book and because she is a "well known" actress, many people will buy her book, but this will cost you £12.99. Whereas using mfp in the same way is free. I personally feel I have learnt far more from the forums here on mfp, than I would get from a book.

I am not knocking Lisa Riley and it's great that she has been so successful in her weight loss journey. But I have found the countless success stories, here on the mfp forums, more inspiring. Plus a great way for individuals to get personal advice for their "problems" along the way.

I'm honest about what I'm eating, even if I decide to over-eat wildly (like double my TDEE, as I did yesterday - something I won't do very often ). Being honest/accurate helped me lose weight (50+ pounds in 2015-2016 at age 59-60) and stay at a healthy weight for 2+ years since, after being obese most of my adult life.

I'm wondering if you're finding a way to include some treats, like sweets and chocolate, in your routine eating in appropriate (small) quantities, alongside the choices that give you overall good balanced nutrition? It's a perfectly sensible thing to do, and helps many people avoid feeling deprivation that can lead to breaking down eventually and eating too much of the desired treat. (I understand that for some, there are specific trigger foods that need to be avoided for a while, because they start one on a slippery slope of over-indulging right that minute.)

Overall, I'm a great believer in the idea that managing my eating to stay at a healthy weight is a permanent part of my life. In that light, I wasn't willing to do anything differently while losing weight than I planned to do for the rest of my life, other than temporarily limiting calories. This meant that I needed to learn how to work in treats, enjoy birthday parties and social events, eat in restaurants, etc., during weight loss, so I'd have those tools in my toolkit long term.

The honesty part came up last night when I decided to eat 4 cookies instead of 2. Funny, as I reached into the package I told my family, I am accountable for what I am about to do, no regrets.

This has been the way I have been eating since losing my initial weight and going forward with maintaining goals.

Yeah, I'm not paying anyone to learn that I've got to be honest with myself about what foods I eat and that there is no "magic" involved with weight loss. It's great that this person I've never heard of has learned what works for her, but, as I found when all the other ladies in my homeschool group were encouraging me to spend money for a book and follow "Trim Healthy Mamas" for weight loss, all I really need is to move more and eat less. So, I think I'll stick with "free".

I am always honest with my food. I tell it that it will probably hurt when I am chewing it, then it will go down a pipe to scary place where it will get mixed with acids, then a lot of it will come out as poop and get flushed. After that it's on it's own....
