You probably shouldn't be dieting. Not now.

One thing that does work, though, if only in the short term, is eating a lot of high-fibre, low calorie stuff. Salads, high-fibre crispbreads, vegetables, brown rice. The theory is that it takes more energy for the body to digest it than such foods actually contain, so you can stuff your face and still lose a little weight, without putting your body into starvation mode (which is the reason the weight never stays off if you're naturally not a stick-figure).

But if you don't want to diet, don't. It's the only four-letter-word I firmly believe should be censored.
