Diet Trials : Paul McKenna

This is something that I am trying at the moment.

I have for the past few weeks been back on the Atkins diet in a vain attempt to slim down a bit for when I go away at the weekend. I must say that I have tried to be strict with what I am eating but sometimes it’s hard to cope.

For instance what do you do if you are out visiting a stately home (like you do with your family on a weekend) and it gets to lunchtime. The only food available to eat in the cafe/restaurant is the typical snack food such as sandwiches, crisps, cakes etc. So the other weekend I slipped up. Yes, I should have taken some food with me but I’m not that organised. I have also been having the odd glass of white wine in the evening as it’s been so hot, which probably isn’t helping. I am though in ketosis so it must be working.
So anyway it was suggested to me that some of my excess weight may be caused by water retention. This does occur in the female side of my family, so maybe it happens to me as well. So yesterday I started taking water tablets, cautiously at first as I was slightly apprehensive. Anyway yesterday I needed to go to the toilet a few more times than normal and lost 4lbs. maybe then I do need to get rid of my excess water?
