Talking about diets - you should try the so called 5-2 diet or fast diet. You eat normal fr 5 days and for two weeks you eat less than 600 calories. Works great in the long term and is said to be very good for your health. I have done this several times and it works very well - until you stop it - then things become difficult. I have just started this again a week ago - maybe I should write something on it.
