Not sure that's completely fair, Pico.
Many people offered me diet advice over the years, and very little suited me/ my lifestyle.
MTP is asking for help BECAUSE she doesn't fit the standard diet lifestyle.

The tips that fit helped me enormously, but that was not a large percentage.
For example I was advised not to spend 30 mins on an exercise bike every day, but to go out on a real bike. I did not have one. I could not afford one. I lived in London - not an ideal environment for cyclists, especially not those with confidence issues. The exercise bike sessions did make a significant impact on my weight loss.

On the other hand I was advised if I couldn't stomach breakfast, to have a chilled can of meal replacement or a pint of skimmed milk. Both worked wonders and stopped me having a high fat lunch.

Horses for courses.
