"It’s not that I ever made the intentional decision to go “off diet”, it’s just that I never really was on diet to begin with. There were times where I was closer to being on diet though, than others, but it still was a far cry from how the diet really should be done."

"The first time around it didn't really go for me. It was the food stuff that stopped me. I could do the snacky stuff, but the food and drinks (formula) I couldn't tolerate it. I had a second go this year, actually. I made my own decision, my choice, no one put it on me. My levels were really high, I was suffering with headaches at work on a daily basis. I just thought I can't carry on like this, I can't even function..

I thought I'd give it another shot, but I'm actually going to do it proper; I'm not going to cheat anything, and going to be very strict with it. Count the calories, count the protein, see what goes in, do a food diary and I stuck to it. I feel a lot better doing it!"
