    Default New diet bet

    So I've commenced another diet bet. The amount of money is inconsequential--$40--but I find the bet itself is just enough to activate my competitive juices. Anyhow, I've got three months to win. (Winner will be the one who looses the greatest percentage of weight.) Have already started eating better, and I hear the gym calling to me.

    Anybody else find bets an effective diet strategy?

    the best diet strategy for me had been to eat more, little and often. honestly that alone works. diet is like 80% of the battle.

    so for example my typical day:

    breakfast: wholemeal toast with sliced banana on
    mid morning: apple
    gym
    post workout: protein shake
    early afternoon: sweet potato, 1/2 tin tuna and salad
    pre evening run: wholemeal toast plain with low fat spread
    post run: cod/steak/turkey breat, with half a plate of veg
    if im working i have another protein shake in the eve

    from this - iv dropped 2kgs, not only that i have more energy and my body generally feels tighter if that makes sense!

    good luck x

    I don't bet with money, although thats a fun idea. But I have a friend that I diet with. We plan our strategy, buy the necessary groceries and things together, workout together, give each other support and such. Its nice. I also do a reward system with myself. If I lose a certain amount of weight by a certain date, I give myself a treat (usually new perfume, new shoes, NOT a food related item). This is also good motivation.
