What should you do when you're trying to lose weight, and you feel hungry? This is a common situation that many people come across. And working out a good response to hunger is crucial to successful weight loss.

In the past month, I've had quite a few people ask me nicely how my diet is going... my responses have included, "Leave me alone", "That's none of your business" and "Ah, that's my landline ringing, gotta get it, Byeee".

Does the thought of trying to lose weight make you feel stressed? You're not alone. And in my experience, getting stressed about your weight loss is one of the biggest obstacles to success. People who get stressed about their weight loss are much more likely to give up.

What if we boycott these headlines and revolutionise the way we think about diets? What if we create new year resolutions that allow us to achieve things instead of denying ourselves?

In the last two weeks I've been told to eat nothing at all after about 5pm, nothing at all on two days of each week, five small meals every day; drink tea instead of coffee, coffee instead of tea, and tea made from the leaves of the coffee plant.

The Lifehouse Spa is certainly different to the numerous spas I have visited and I can see why it would appeal to the male clientele.

What comes to mind when you decide you need to lose weight? Pain? Terror? Suffering? The 'diet mentality' emphasises the "no pain- no gain" approach to weight loss, which makes weight loss seem painful and intimidates many people. This stops them taking action.

Things like detoxes and fad diets feel like they're the right thing to do. After all 'no pain, no gain', right? But if you've tried many of these methods before and are still overweight, it's time to accept that they don't work.

We know celebrities shape our attitudes towards body image but they also affect the way we think about losing weight. And not in a good way.

Even the most determined, motivated woman, who is able to solve almost any problem in their work or family life, cannot seem to work out what to do when it comes to their weight.

While all this emotional and physical cartography was happening externally, internally I was beset with a belly full of love flutters. There could be no mistaking the movements as gathering wind. The Interloper was growing at an almighty rate and I bludgeoned by tiredness.

While most of the world seems to be fixated on diets as the solution to weight problems, most women who are over 40 and overweight, know (from personal experience) that diets don't work.

Willpower is overrated. A lack of it is not the reason why we are suffering an obesity crisis. We think willpower is the answer because we still think that depriving yourself on a diet is the only way to lose weight. It isn't.

The waistlines of more than half of women are too big, experts have said, as they warned those who are overweight they are increasing their risk of ca...

According to a new survey, men who are not consulted about healthy changes to the daily dinner menu by their wives are more likely to binge on fast fo...

I think Nigella deserves credit for her attitude to weight and weight loss. She has resolutely resisted the urge to get caught up in unnatural or drastic weight loss attempts. And through a rather unusual set of circumstances she has demonstrated how one can lose weight without resorting to fad diets.

In 1986 Morrissey wisely professed "some girls are bigger than others, some girls' mothers are bigger than other girls' mothers". Sounds obvious but we seem to have forgotten this fact.
