The official website is here http://www.rosemaryconley.com/apps/content/page.asp?itemID=3517

You can often get her books in charity shops and Ebay. Check out her website first to check which books are current - she has revised her diet over the years and made improvements. The original hip and thigh diet is a bit dated and the new one is definitely better.

Ebay is also good to buy second hand copies of her magazine - often sold unread where the seller has subscribed and then stopped reading them - goodness knows why - I love the recipes.

The magazine always has a kick-start diet in it - intended to be followed for 2 weeks and you should lose 5-7lb. You then up your allowance to 1500 cals for a 1-2lb per week loss.

Her current diet is low fat, low GI, calorie counted (she does this bit for you) and potion controlled (use measuring pots or weigh portions).

Eat 3 meals a day, plus 2 power snacks (love the name :rotfl: ).

The current edition of the magazine has a 36 page recipe booklet in it. The magazine costs £2.55 from a newsagent/supermarket or the subscription is £19.99 for 9 copies + a free gift - this does vary from time to time. When my subscription renewed by direct debit a couple of months ago I was impressed that they sent me the 'free gift' that would be sent for a new subscription - it was portion pots though - and I already have a set of those (not that I use them - I weigh things mostly).

So, you could start following the RC diet for £2.55 (or cheaper from Ebay), it would give you an idea whether you like it or not.

My OH likes the magazines - he scouts through the recipes and tells me what he fancies for dinner - needless to say he doesn't always get what he wants :rotfl: .

Thanks FFM, will definitely look more into it and try out a 2 week menu plan. Thanks

Hi Leverton

Basically it is a low fat diet, try not to eat anything over 5% fat, and keep to a reasonable calorie level - this is why I find www.caloriecount.about.com helps as that makes sure I don't over (or in my case under!) do the calories

thanks dragon, this website has a wealth of information and I would recommend it to all who haven't seen it yet :-) Will be making good use of it.

Many thanks!

oooh, thanks fitorbust, been wanting to try mutton for ages - will have to ask the butcher if he can get it.

you have all been chatty this weekend, hope bb is feeling better today. Beanie, are you looking for a reason to buy a new handbag?!?!?!?!

Feeling relatively good, stayed mostly in control of the eating this weekend. I bought the most comedy book in Glasgow called 101 ways with mince and did a recipe from it yesterday. OH nearly had to have a lie down - swiss roll but made with mince and carrots instead of sponge and jam, and wrapped in bacon. So pretty much a meatloaf really. He's having hte leftovers on sandwiches today. Loving your HHE - impossible for me to join in though, unless anyone wants to join me at 0600 every weekday for one?

Struggling to keep up with anything at mo as I'm poorly and the 4k is moving insanely fast :eek: Hope you're all doing well, I like the HHE plan, well done to whoever brought that over from the Flylady thread :T
Will try to skim some posts but not promising, hugs to everyone x

Good morning everyone:j This is a flying visit as I am off to SW in a minute to get weighed. Not expecting good news again:o Yesterdays eating was ok but had to change the menu at the last minute. I was going to make a beef casserole cooked slowly in the oven. Took the meat out of the freezer the night before and left on kitchen counter to defrost. When I went to prepare it at noon the next day it was still frozen solid! My kitchen is as cold as the fridge I reckon! So I made a pasta bake and will be having the beef stew tonight instead!

Todays eating plan:

Breakfast - fruit and yogurt - (free)
Lunch - Left over pasta bake (free)
Dinner - Beef stew with vegetables cooked slowly in the oven plus mashed potatos (free+2heb)
Milk in coffees will be hea

Will report my weigh in results in about 3 hours - wish me luck!

Love
Marion
ps - and the knob on my dishwasher is broken - I pushed it in and it went in completely and fell down somewhere inside the door:eek:

I am off work - vomitting - which is good for the weight loss!! Didn't eat anything yesterday. Just WI, but I normally use work scales and not convinced mine are right. So put me down for 2lb. Intended to have big walk over weekend, but first OH spent day ill then I got it.
