Have only gotten back on fat secret for last week or two. Am on the DASH diet to lower my blood pressure. (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension). I have been on it for one week and lost 3 kg already. Will be checking in with by GP in 3 weeks to see how my BP is and if I can reduce or stop medication. This is a general well being diet and weight loss diet as well, so it can help everyone who is trying to lose weight. I have found it very easy to follow and you can have most foods. You just have to have wholegrain instead of "white" and "low or reduced fat" dairy instead of "full cream". I am allowed between 1800 to 2200kcal per day on this diet and usually only feel the need to have around 1700 to 2000 per day. You must stick to the correct amount of servings for each food group as this is the key to losing the weight. Main components are 5-7 serves of whole grains per day, 5-7 veggies, 3-5 fruit, 3-4 low fat dairy, 1.5 of protein, 1-2 fat, 1 sweet. You are also allowed 4-5 serves of pulses, nuts or seeds per week. These are reduced because of high fat content. If you love seeds and nuts and need them daily, this should count as your fat serves.
