Does anyone have any ideas what sort of diet might fit with my tricky situation... I'm currently 78kg and 5 foot 4. I had dropped from 82kg down to about 71kg doing weight watchers this time last year but it has all crept back on.
My complications are:
- Family meals are dairy & egg free due to allergies in the family and I'm too lazy to cook two sets of meals
- I'm studying for a Masters which means lots of deadlines, late night & getting assignments done fueled by coffee and chocolate (part of the reason for the weight creeping back on again)
- I'm not sure very low carb is possible for me, partly because it's winter here and salad is extortionate - the budget just won't stretch to $3 for a cucumber or $4 for a manky bag of lettuce - and I can't see how else I'd replace potatoes etc
- I have a history of fainting due to stress & low blood sugar so I suspect a fasting diet may not be the most sensible choice.
- and finally (sorry, I know I'm really difficult) with the study and general chaos in my life I don't think I'll have the time/head space for detailed tracking or calorie counting.
Is there any hope for me? Last summer I was so pleased with how well I'd done and was even considering wearing a swimsuit on the beach this summer - won't happen at this rate
