So since May I’ve lost 2 stone (not much as I haven’t had much to lose) by:
Changing to kids size plates
Only eating when I’m actually hungry and listening to my body
Drinking diet drinks only and tea
Making my meals under 400 calories (mostly had pizza wraps with homemade chips, jacket potatos, roast dinners a lot, chilli, quesadillas, Bolognese, chicken with salad
Snacking on muller light, ice lollies, low cal jelly and fruit and rice cakes
But overall I’ve not actually thought much about my calories or eating just listened to my body. Before I’d just eat because it was 6pm dinner time, but now I’m often not hungry at dinner so I’ll just have a snack later in the evening rather than forcing myself to have a meal
