Diet Trials : Paul McKenna

I can’t quite believe that the first week on the Paul Mckenna diet is nearly over, it’s now Day 6. Normally on a diet, and most recently it has been the Atkin’s diet, I have found that the first week is normally the hardest. This week has been surprisingly enjoyable and relatively easy. It certainly […]

Now one thing that I will need to sort out are the weekends. It’s been fine during the week when you have to get up to go to work, as I have found that reasonably easy. Plus you don’t have a well stocked kitchen to keep nipping into.
As I was up late, breakfast was […]

So it’s now Saturday and Day 5 on my new diet, or should that be the start of my new approach to eating, as it is not to be classed as a diet as such.
The morning didn’t get off to a great start, as at 2am I was woken up by my three year old […]

Four days in and I still feel very inspired by the theory that this really could make a difference to my life. So far throughout the week, since I signed up to the Paul Mckenna website for this big experiment, I have been getting daily emails to keep me on track.
They help to remind me […]

Thursday’s are normally the day that we get a babysitter to look after the kids and myself and my wife go out for a meal or go to the pub. Normally we will combine both and have a meal at the pub. I have my local pub in town which we have been going to for a […]

It was no use hiding the scales.
The temptation was too great. Every diet that I have been on I have always obsessed about whether through the night I have miraculously lost a few pounds.
I even was that curious that I went and got the scales from the wardrobe and jumped on them, feeling like I […]

Day 2 all went really well for me…
I was still really focussed when I woke up and had breakfast again. I am so not used to eating first thing in the morning that it was odd. But it is doing me good getting up a bit earlier, actually spending a bit of quality time with […]

Now this is a tricky one. I woke up on Day 1 and didn’t really know whether I was hungry or not, but I had a small breakfast I suppose to start my metaboloism. The problem I found on Day 1 was when I got back home from work I was hungry, but didn’t know […]

Fortunately during lunch when by meal arrived, because the guys I was with had seen the programme the whole idea of eating slowly and chewing each mouthful, savouring the food, didn’t seem too hard. I was amazed how long it took me to eat my meal though.

I really did enjoy the food though, more than […]

On Day 1 I had a lunch meeting at one of the top local restaurants that always does really great food and this would be my first big challenge. The main topic of conversation while we ordered the food was the Paul McKenna programme. We were all in agreement that what he was saying were […]
