It's not even that - I followed Paul McKenna's guide and I dropped a stone in about 2 months. Generally the plan is to eat whatever you want because if you opt for the low-fat version each time, once you've hit your ideal weight you're more likely to go back to your old foods and put the weight back on. The key is to eat slowly because what happens a lot of the time is when you're eating your favourite meal, you enjoy it so much that you guzzle it down quickly and past the point of being full. McKenna shows you how to recognise the 'full' warning that your body gives.
He says other things too, like how guilty people feel about leaving any of their food. If you haven't finished off the meal and you get to 'full' then just save it for later.
Also he says instead of eating at set times (like breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper etc),
eat when you're hungry. If you put it off til your set 'time' then your body goes in to starvation mode.
There are no diets (he explains how they just don't work) and no sacrifices, just a new approach to eating and 'mealtimes'.
