My introduction to the Sun Diet came after 3 months of trying to diet and listening to numerous experts telling me what would work...

I wasn't sure exactly what to eat and I certainly didn't know how much of it to eat.

I had lost a small amount of weight but was getting nowhere fast.

Vern Montgomery, from Prime Bodies / The 24Hr Gym introduced me to what I now know and understand as the Sun Diet.

In simple terms my effective management of calories in / calories out and an understanding of the nutritional values of food.

The theory was well reasoned and logical and was backed up by years of research and results. It was like some one switching on a light for me, I could see where I was going...

I managed my calories in and calories out for the next 3 months. I put some structure & control into my diet. I controlled my food not the other way round.

I understood what a calorie meant & what it did, the effects of too many & equally not enough. I lost in excess of 5st but the beauty of the Sun Diet is you can go as far with it as you want.

I am now able to control my weight to support my training. I stay within 10lb of my 'ideal' weight and confidently know the 'way back' should I become a little lost.

If you choose this diet, you will learn to appreciate the true value of calories in & calories out and become a lot more aware of the food you eat. You will unconsciously check the calorie values on everything you eat, and assess the nutritional values as a matter of course. Instead of ruling your life, it'll just become part of your daily routine.

The rice based Sun Diet (F.R.U.K) foods make this easy and give plenty of ideas for meals.

So if anyone ever asks me how to lose weight, I answer with a question "How many calories are you on?"
