The Harcombe Diet

Saw you in the Telegraph too, yesterday, I think, or Monday...

you have inspired me greatly...thank you for all the time and effort in making interesting reading.. Merry Xmas!!!

Fabulous - have shared too :)

Well said Zoe, it just goes to show what little credibility these 'forums' have. It's no wonder folk get confused. I've been following your advice for almost 6 months and have been the same weight (after the initial 1 stone loss) during the whole of that time. I 'cheat' regularly but generally eat healthy no sugar food and love it and never feel deprived. Keep spreading the message :)

Hi Terri - I couldn't get in to the whole harcombe diet page earlier on! Then I couldn't see older posts yesterday. Hubby has had problems with his page too. I think facebook hits melt downs every now and again. I rarely use it in the evening - too slow!
Thanks for trying - Zoe x

yes i know.and i agree with you with most thing you have said.and i believe the calrorie is a lie.but its mis interpered.i just dont think you have to give up things you like to lose weight.millions all over the world have lost weight and kept it off by eating normal food like chocolate and pizza etc.there is even a program called cheat our way ... See Morethin that allows a cheat day once a week in it.and has helped thousands of people lose weight.iv read the harcoombe diet and it is very good and i would recommend it to people.just it isn for everyone.its too simlar to low carb for me.the first 2 phases that is.you can have milk yeah.but no diet drinks.you can have diet on low carb.and on harcoombe you can have unlimited vegetables not just 30g.but in all fairness there only so much of veg you can eat before you are full.so even tho you eat unlimited veg thats it allows you.theses vegetabales are already very very low in carbs so could work out at 40 or 50 gram.which is still low carb.so for me it didnt work.for the others maybe it will.im not knocking it.just my opinion

But Brian it doesnt have to be low carb (except phase 1) on phase 2 it is up to you whether you choose fat meals, carb meals or both, but to lose weight dont mix the two together at the same meal.This diet or 'way of eating' as I prefer to call it can work just aswell on mainly carb based meals but only good carbs ie. wholegrain,wholemeal wholesome... See More 'real' food-untampered with and natural. I had couscous with roasted veg for tea last night-hardly low carb! I have never felt so healthy as I do eating this way it makes so much sense and am very grateful to Zoe for bringing it all to light in such a straight forward way!

Honestly I don't know! I'll get that Jimmy's food factory guy to see what they do to it. All I do believe is that the less food manufacturers get involved with anything the better! I used to drink warm milk straight from a cow when I was a kid - we went to a farm most weekends in one of those daft caravan things! x
