816.0. "Hip and Thigh diet" by MASALA::MCKEE () Thu Jul 22 1993 09:55

    
    
    
    	Can anybody point me to notes on Rosemary Conleys 'Hip and Thigh'
    	diet ?
    	 If there isn't one yet, is there anybody out there who's tried it
    	and been successful. I'm not too concerned about only losing weight
    	from my hips and thighs, it's actually more my stomach that's the
    	problem. I just wanted to know if anyone has lost weight on it in
    	general.

    There's no diet under the sun that can take fat off a specific place on
    your body.  If you cut back on fat and calories, you will lose fat -
    where you lose it from depends on genetics, etc.
    
    You can't spot-reduce with exercise, either, but you can do exercise to
    tone a specific area, which will make it firmer and tighter under
    whatever fat is present.

    	Yes, I realise this is the case D!, but when I do lose weight
    	it comes off where I want it to anyway without much problem.
    	What I really want to know is if Rosemary Conley's concept
    	of dieting really works. It's basically a very low fat diet.
    	The book details loads of supposed 'succeeful dieters letters'
    	claiming to be cured of their bingeing habits for life since
    	starting her dieting concept. A lot of them also claim to have
    	kept the weight off (my big problem) for years.
    	Has this been the case for anyone ?
        Or it it the usual case of getting bored with the new concept
    	after a while, and reverting to bad habits ?
    	I realise that it's up to the individual to learn good eating
    	habits, and this diet book certainly looks like you eat well
    	on it, but has anyone discovered that they adapted to it quite
    	easily ?

    Some diets can take pounds off your hips and only your hips!
    
    That is, if that's where you usually keep your billfold ...

    Hi,
    
    The Fall issue of Diet & Exercise magazine (I just picked my issue up
    this morning) has a special book bonus of the Hip and Thigh Diet by
    Rosemary Conley that you were inquiring about (including recipes).
