No don’t cut carbs. That’s a complete myth you need carbs. It’s in fruit and veg. Only eat complex carbohydrates before exercise and a little after if your trying to lose weight.cut down sugar and carbs intake.
I meant more like bread not fruit and veg.No don’t cut carbs. That’s a complete myth you need carbs. It’s in fruit and veg. Only eat complex carbohydrates before exercise and a little after if your trying to lose weight.
Don’t ban any food groups. Just limit the amount of complex carbs if your on a fat loss. Also add protein to each meal keeps you feeling fuller.
Once you deprive food groups you will then have a terrible relationship with food and become a yoyo dieter.
Eat less move more.
Try and walk an hour each day cut out snacking and you will see a major difference.
The most important thing is if you want to have a sustainable weight loss then realise to get to your goal weight will take time.
Good luck
I know what you mean.I meant more like bread not fruit and veg.
Agreed. Meal replacements are a waste of time. My mum has been on slimfast for years on and off and still the same weight as they just make you binge later when you’re starving hungry.I wouldn't go meal replacements - a mistake. Opt for nutritious, less calorie dense food and fill out meals with that. Don't cut out any particular foods (unless you have allergies or a condition that requires it). Personally to lose weight I found exercise and calorie counting the most useful.

how often do we pick up something and just eat it without considering what our body will do with it?
I think using a calculation to determine your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) is a great starting place (I can share the calculation if you’d like) and then take 300-500 calories off that total number and try to stick within that range daily, getting a good split of carbs, protein and fats. Apps like My Fitness Pal can help with this if you’re comfortable with that but if not then there are other ways to hit your targets.
as others have suggested, have protein with every meal and fill up on it, it’s the most satiating macronutrient so it will keep you feeling full.
Happy to share more tips & info if needed & more than happy to work out anyone’s TDEE if they’d like to DM!

Agree with this. Change your mindset before embarking on a diet (which never work anyway).You need to change your mind set; you don’t need to “go on a diet” - you need to change your eating & exercise habits.
Take an honest look at what you eat & drink in a day. Then look at your portion sizes. Get rid of the crap; takeaways/sweets/crisps/chocolate/fried food/alcohol/added sugar etc etc etc - then replace with vegetables, fruit, water etc. 3 meals a day, portion control, no crap and daily exercise- even an hours walk a day.
You can’t view it as “a diet” - because you’re always going to be trying to get to “the end” of it and then “go back to normal” - what you have to start to do is view it as a long term lifestyle change.
Be kind to yourself. It can fee impossible to lose weight but it’s all about the small changes and it takes time. Don’t bother with crash diets and all that BS. If you want it to be permanent it needs to be sustainable.I’m two stone over weight, tired all the time with no energy! I’ve just received my blood tests back that have checked my vitamin levels and hormone levels. There’s nothing wrong therefore I must just be greedy and lazy! Lol. I have done SW and WW in the past and don’t want to do again. I want to try a diet healthy meal delivery or replacement. Please can I have adviseThank you in advance
