I wrote yesterdays blog because of a blog I saw featured, I have been accused of "bashing" diets...this is a reply I made, but due to it been moderated I doubt it will get put up.

But you brought up a point, "do it in different ways"

For me if you have to "diet" in many different ways, that tells me the "diet" you are on is not sustainable for longterm, so in theory is a quick fix....you may then put that weight back on when you go back to normal eating. A quick fix for a special occasion i can totally understand, but constantly doing different diets, well you are starving your body of certain nutrients.

I know this because for 7 years I fad dieted and turned bullimic, and my weight did not stay off. I had to change my eating habits full time, that is how you maintain a healthy lifestyle and keep the weight off.

This is part of what I wrote, it just worries me that we as a whole are buying into this celebrity culture, when half the time they maintain a slim figure by hoovering up nose candy....Seth Rogen is a prime example. In my younger days when I'd party in Manchester I saw these sorts of things, even by footballers. I think some can be happy at a size 8 or a size 20, but to be told that being over a 14 is fat, makes me feel sad and pissed off at the shallow world we are creating.

Sorry for ranting :)
