Excellent and detailed advice with all the required (and very necessary) caveats.

And, from my own experience as a disciplinarian, this weight loss regime works!

Not precisely the same as yours of course but not too dissimilar. Of course, acceptance and commitment are essential. On both sides.

The weekly maintenance you describe is also very similar to what I administer. For 'crop' substitute 'cane' is the only difference.

I personally preferred things when one was required to have a degree of common sense! I find all of this 'disclaimer' business infantilising in the extreme.

Having to have: "CAUTION: HOT!" On the side of a 'Hot Chocolate' was the final straw for me. What are we producing these days, total morons?

How does the expression go?

"If you can't stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen."

People used to know when something wasn't for them and they used to walk (these days that would be 'scroll') on by.

Can't stand the 'I'm triggered brigade', I frankly think they ought to grow up. Interesting how they all assume that they've suffered the most, or have been though the most 'traumatic' of experiences. They all believe that, they've had 'the worst of it'.

In real life, I find that those who have actually suffered the most (or at all) are the ones who make the least fuss about it and power to them I say. I have far more respect for those who keep their counsel about misfortune (or worse).

Great to learn that you also have experience of a form of The Discipline Diet - I thought you might well have.

Is the maintenance you refer to part of the 'weight loss regime protocols' or is it more generic (or both?)

Very impressed!

Thank you for your reply to my comment. We are quite clearly singing from the same hymn sheet!

The maintenance part is more generic and not specifically a part of the 'weight loss regime protocols' but it does become a part of that 'regime' so, both really.
